About Zip Code 76574
Zip code 76574 covers Taylor, a city of approximately 17,000 people in eastern Williamson County, about 30 miles northeast of downtown Austin. Taylor sits at the intersection of US-79 and State Highway 95, historically serving as a railroad junction and cotton-processing center since its founding in 1876. The city received national attention when Samsung announced a $17 billion semiconductor fabrication plant on the western edge of town in 2021, setting off a wave of residential and commercial development. The terrain is flat to gently rolling Blackland Prairie, and the city's footprint has expanded west and south as new subdivisions fill in formerly agricultural land between the historic core and the SH-130 toll corridor.
Real estate in 76574 ranges from older Craftsman and bungalow-style homes in Taylor's historic core near downtown to new master-planned subdivisions on the city's expanding west and south sides. Existing homes in established neighborhoods like Murphy Addition and East Taylor typically list from $200,000 to $400,000, while new construction in communities such as North Fork, Villages of Berry Springs, and Southeast Crossing ranges from $300,000 to $550,000 for three- to five-bedroom single-family homes. Rural acreage tracts of 5 to 20 acres on the eastern and northern fringes of the zip code range from $400,000 to $800,000 depending on improvements. Taylor remains one of the more affordable cities in Williamson County compared to Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Georgetown, though prices have risen 25 to 35 percent since the Samsung announcement.
Students in 76574 primarily attend Taylor ISD, which serves approximately 3,500 students across six campuses. T.H. Johnson Elementary, Pasemann Elementary, and Naomi Press Elementary serve pre-K through 5th grade at different locations across the city. Taylor Middle School covers 6th through 8th grade, and Taylor High School serves 9th through 12th grade. The district also operates an early college high school program in partnership with Temple College, allowing students to earn an associate degree concurrently with their high school diploma. Taylor High School competes in UIL Class 4A athletics with a long tradition of competitive football, baseball, and track programs. The school's FFA chapter is active in livestock shows and agricultural mechanics. Teacher retention has improved in recent years as the district has raised salary schedules to remain competitive with neighboring districts.
Taylor is about 30 minutes from downtown Austin via US-79 and SH-130, and approximately 25 minutes from Round Rock via SH-79. The Samsung semiconductor facility on the western edge of the city is the single largest economic development project in Williamson County history, expected to employ over 2,000 people upon completion with average salaries exceeding $60,000. The Taylor Municipal Airport on the north side of town serves general aviation with a 4,000-foot paved runway. The city's historic downtown along Main Street has undergone a revitalization with new restaurants, coffee shops, and retail opening alongside longtime businesses. Taylor has an H-E-B grocery store, multiple medical clinics, a public library, and a recently expanded fire department. Scott and White and St. David's hospitals in Round Rock and Georgetown provide the nearest full-service emergency and surgical care.
