About Zip Code 76537
Zip code 76537 covers Jarrell in northwestern Williamson County, on Interstate 35 north of Georgetown. Census Bureau Vintage 2025 estimates made Jarrell the fastest-growing city in the Austin metro area, expanding 18.2% between July 2024 and July 2025. The town counted 1,753 residents at the 2020 census and has more than tripled since, driven by a wave of master-planned subdivisions. Jarrell sits between Georgetown to the south and Salado to the north, straddling the I-35 corridor that serves as the primary north-south transportation spine for the region. The terrain is gently rolling Blackland Prairie with limestone substrate, and the surrounding agricultural land is rapidly being converted to residential use as developers respond to demand from Austin-area commuters seeking affordable housing.
Real estate in 76537 is heavily weighted toward new construction single-family homes in master-planned communities such as Sonterra, Bryson, and Carmel Creek. Plans in these subdivisions run from three-bedroom homes of 1,400 to 1,600 square feet to larger four- and five-bedroom layouts exceeding 2,500 square feet. National builders active in Jarrell include DR Horton, Lennar, Meritage Homes, and Pulte, offering a range of floor plans with standard features like granite countertops, energy-efficient windows, and two-car garages. Older homes in the original town center are limited in number, and rural acreage parcels of 5 to 15 acres sit on the zip code's eastern and western fringes.
