About Zip Code 76537
Zip code 76537 covers Jarrell, one of the fastest-growing small towns in the greater Austin area, located in northwestern Williamson County about 35 miles north of downtown Austin on Interstate 35. The town's population has surged from roughly 1,000 in 2010 to over 4,000 based on recent estimates, driven by a wave of master-planned subdivisions offering new construction at prices below the Austin metro median. 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. Prices in these subdivisions typically range from $275,000 for three-bedroom starter homes with 1,400 to 1,600 square feet to $450,000 for larger four- and five-bedroom plans 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 but typically list from $200,000 to $350,000. Rural lots with acreage on the zip code's eastern and western fringes range from $300,000 to $500,000 for parcels of 5 to 15 acres.
Students in 76537 attend Jarrell ISD, a rapidly growing district currently serving approximately 3,000 students across multiple campuses. Jarrell Elementary and North Jarrell Elementary serve pre-K through 5th grade, dividing enrollment geographically. Jarrell Middle School covers 6th through 8th grade, and Jarrell High School serves 9th through 12th grade. The district has added new campuses and portable buildings to keep pace with enrollment growth that has averaged 8 to 10 percent annually. Jarrell High School competes in UIL Class 4A athletics with programs in football, basketball, baseball, softball, track, and volleyball. The school also has a growing band program and an FFA chapter with competitive livestock judging teams. Teacher recruitment has been a priority as the district expands.
Jarrell's location on I-35 provides direct highway access to Georgetown in about 15 minutes, Round Rock in 25 minutes, and downtown Austin in 35 to 45 minutes depending on traffic conditions. The Georgetown Municipal Airport is about 15 minutes south for general aviation needs. Samsung's semiconductor campus in Taylor is approximately 30 minutes east via FM-2338 and SH-79. Most Jarrell residents commute south along the I-35 corridor to employers in Georgetown, Round Rock, Cedar Park, and north Austin. The town itself has a small commercial corridor along I-35 with gas stations, a few fast-food restaurants, a Dollar General, and an auto parts store. A new H-E-B grocery store and additional retail are in the planning stages along the frontage road, and a medical clinic operated by Ascension Seton opened recently to serve the growing population.
