About Round Rock
Round Rock is a city of approximately 143,000 residents located in Williamson County, about 20 miles north of downtown Austin along the Interstate 35 corridor. The city sits at the eastern edge of the Texas Hill Country where the terrain transitions to the Blackland Prairie, with Brushy Creek running through the heart of the community. Named for a large round rock formation in the middle of Brushy Creek that once marked a low-water crossing on the Chisholm Trail, the city covers roughly 36 square miles of rolling terrain between Georgetown to the north and Pflugerville to the south.
Housing ranges from older starter homes near the downtown core to newer master-planned communities on the western and northern edges. Neighborhoods like Teravista, Paloma Lake, and Walsh Ranch offer newer construction with community pools, trails, and parks. Combined property tax rates vary by the specific city, school district, and any municipal utility or improvement districts that apply to a given property, which is a significant consideration for buyers.
