About Fairlawn
Fairlawn is a residential neighborhood in San Marcos, Texas, located in Hays County along the Interstate 35 corridor between Austin (30 miles north) and San Antonio (50 miles south). The neighborhood occupies a central position within San Marcos, with direct access to the city's commercial district and proximity to both the Blanco River and the San Marcos River. San Marcos CISD serves the area, with students in the Fairlawn attendance zone feeding into Travis Elementary School, Goodnight Middle School, and San Marcos High School. The neighborhood contains a mix of single-family homes, rental properties, and multi-family housing, with approximately 62% of households being renter-occupied, a figure that reflects the influence of nearby Texas State University on the local housing market. San Marcos as a city has a population of approximately 68,000, with the university's 39,000-student enrollment creating a significant student rental population throughout the city's neighborhoods.
Goodnight Middle School, located at 1301 Highway 123 in San Marcos, serves approximately 867 students in grades 6 through 8 and is one of two middle schools in San Marcos CISD. The school offers a Gifted and Talented program and feeds into San Marcos High School for grades 9 through 12. Travis Elementary School serves the neighborhood's younger students within the district, providing Pre-K through 5th grade instruction. San Marcos CISD operates across multiple campuses throughout the city and has worked to maintain class sizes and facility quality as the city has grown. Texas State University, with enrollment exceeding 39,000 students and more than 3,000 faculty and staff, is located within a short drive of Fairlawn and serves as the city's largest employer, shaping the local economy through direct employment, student spending, and research activity.
The neighborhood's central San Marcos location puts residents within a few minutes of the city's primary commercial areas along Hopkins Street and the I-35 frontage roads, including grocery stores, restaurants, pharmacies, and service businesses. The San Marcos River, spring-fed at a constant 72 degrees from the Edwards Aquifer, is accessible for swimming, tubing, kayaking, and fishing at multiple points throughout the city, with three tubing outfitters operating along the river during the warmer months. Rio Vista Park along the river offers dam-controlled swimming areas and walking paths, and the Meadows Center at Spring Lake provides glass-bottom boat tours and nature trails. The Blanco River, which runs closer to the Fairlawn area on the city's western side, provides additional green space, water access, and a different character from the spring-fed San Marcos River, with swimming holes and bank access for fishing at various points along its course through the city.
San Marcos Premium Outlets and Tanger Outlets along I-35 together house over 250 retail stores and employ approximately 3,600 workers, making outlet retail one of the city's largest employment sectors alongside the university. Hunter Industries operates a manufacturing facility in San Marcos employing 650 workers producing irrigation equipment for global distribution, and Central Texas Medical Center provides healthcare through a 140-bed hospital with more than 650 employees. The City of San Marcos employs approximately 500 people across 25 departments. These employers, combined with the university's 3,000-plus faculty and staff positions, create a diversified local job market that serves Fairlawn residents who prefer to work within the city. For those commuting out of San Marcos, I-35 provides a direct route to Austin in approximately 30 minutes or San Antonio in approximately 50 minutes, placing Fairlawn within practical commuting distance of both major metropolitan job markets.
