About Chimney Place
Chimney Place is a small residential neighborhood located in San Marcos, Texas, within Hays County, served by San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District. The neighborhood sits in the eastern portion of San Marcos, a city of approximately 77,000 residents positioned midway between Austin and San Antonio along the I-35 corridor. San Marcos has grown by 13.4 percent since the 2020 census, when it recorded a population of 68,224. The city occupies the edge of the Balcones Escarpment, where the flat Blackland Prairie transitions into the rolling Texas Hill Country. The San Marcos River, fed by hundreds of springs that maintain a constant 72-degree water temperature year-round, flows through the center of town and serves as a defining natural feature that draws visitors and new residents to the area.
Homes in Chimney Place include a range of housing types, with properties spanning from around 1,000 to over 5,700 square feet. Pricing in the neighborhood varies from approximately $117,000 to $360,000, reflecting a mix of smaller starter homes and larger family residences. Construction materials and styles vary by era, as some homes date to earlier development periods while others represent more recent additions or renovations. The neighborhood is situated in the Millview East section of San Marcos and provides access to I-35 within a few minutes, sitting within the broader residential fabric of the city surrounded by other established neighborhoods. Lot sizes and setbacks vary, and the area includes both owner-occupied homes and rental properties, consistent with the mixed housing patterns common in a university city.
Chimney Place is zoned to San Marcos CISD. Students attend Crockett Elementary School for early grades, then feed into Goodnight Middle School for grades 6 through 8 and San Marcos High School for grades 9 through 12. San Marcos CISD serves the city and surrounding unincorporated Hays County areas, operating multiple campuses across the district. San Marcos High School offers academic programs, career and technical education pathways, and extracurricular activities. The city is also home to Texas State University, which enrolled a record 44,630 students in fall 2025 and employs approximately 2,780 people, making it the largest single employer in San Marcos. The university offers over 200 bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree programs across nine colleges, and it is the only Texas university to have graduated a U.S. President, being the alma mater of Lyndon Baines Johnson.
San Marcos provides a full range of commercial services along I-35 and the Wonder World Drive corridor. H-E-B Plus operates a full-service location on SH 123. The San Marcos Premium Outlets and Tanger Outlets together feature more than 220 stores and employ over 3,600 people combined, forming one of the largest outlet shopping destinations in Texas, with stores including Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, and Saint Laurent alongside standard retail brands. Central Texas Medical Center, with more than 650 employees, provides hospital services in the city. Downtown San Marcos, centered around the Hays County courthouse square, includes restaurants, bars, and locally owned shops, and hosts a farmers market every Saturday. Commuters reach downtown Austin in approximately 35 to 45 minutes via I-35 north, while San Antonio is roughly 50 minutes south on the same highway. The city's position between two major metro areas and the presence of a large university create a rental and resale housing market with consistent demand throughout the year.
