About Zip Code 78633
Zip code 78633 covers the northwestern portion of Georgetown in Williamson County, including the Sun City Texas master-planned retirement community, the Cimarron Hills area, and rural land stretching toward the Lake Georgetown corridor. This zip code sits approximately 30 miles north of downtown Austin along Interstate 35 and Ranch Road 2338 (Inner Loop). The terrain transitions from flat Blackland Prairie in the east to rolling limestone Hill Country in the west, with Lake Georgetown and the North San Gabriel River forming key geographic features. The area has experienced sustained growth since the early 2000s, driven largely by Sun City's expansion and Georgetown's overall population surge from roughly 28,000 in 2000 to over 75,000 today.
Real estate in 78633 is defined by the Sun City community, which accounts for a large portion of housing inventory. Sun City homes, restricted to residents aged 55 and older, range from approximately $300K for smaller garden homes to $600K or more for larger single-family floor plans on golf course lots. Outside Sun City, properties include custom homes on one to five acre lots in the Cimarron Hills golf community priced from $700K to over $1.5 million, rural acreage tracts along CR-258 and CR-260, and newer subdivisions such as Rancho Sienna with homes from $400K to $700K. The mix of age-restricted and general-market housing creates a diverse real estate landscape within a single zip code.

Living in Zip Code 78633
The population of 78633 skews older than most Austin-area zip codes due to Sun City's 55-plus age restriction, which houses roughly 13,000 residents across more than 7,800 homes. Outside Sun City, the population includes families, professionals, and hobby ranchers on larger lots. Median household income across the zip code is approximately $65,000 to $75,000, though this figure reflects the large retiree population; working households in the area tend to earn higher incomes.
