About Georgetown
Georgetown is a city of approximately 80,000 residents and the county seat of Williamson County, located about 28 miles north of downtown Austin along Interstate 35. The city sits where the Blackland Prairie meets the eastern edge of the Texas Hill Country, with the San Gabriel River and its North and South Forks flowing through the area and converging east of town at Lake Georgetown, a 1,310-acre U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir. The terrain is gently rolling, with limestone bedrock underlying much of the area and elevations around 750 to 850 feet above sea level.
Georgetown's housing market spans a wide range, from historic homes in the downtown square area starting around $250,000 to homes in Sun City, a Del Webb active-adult community of approximately 9,500 homes on the western side of town, typically priced from the mid-$200,000s to $500,000. Newer family-oriented subdivisions like Wolf Ranch, Cimarron Hills, and Berry Creek offer homes from the $350,000s to $700,000 and above. The median home price sits around $400,000. The city has seen substantial growth over the past decade, driven by its proximity to Austin, relatively lower home prices, and the expansion of commercial corridors along I-35 and Williams Drive.
Georgetown ISD serves approximately 14,000 students across 18 campuses. The district includes Georgetown High School and East View High School, along with multiple middle and elementary campuses. Schools generally perform well on state assessments, with several campuses earning distinction designations from the Texas Education Agency. Southwestern University, a private liberal arts college founded in 1840, sits near the downtown square and enrolls about 1,500 students.
The intersection of I-35 and SH-130 provides Georgetown with strong transportation connectivity, and most commuters can reach downtown Austin in 35 to 50 minutes. Major employers include St. David's Georgetown Hospital, Williamson County government offices, Georgetown ISD, and a growing number of employers in the Wolf Ranch commercial area. Inner Space Cavern, a cave system discovered during highway construction in 1963, operates as a tourist attraction near the I-35 corridor. The downtown square, built around the 1911 Williamson County Courthouse, hosts Red Poppy Festival each April and serves as the commercial and social center of the historic district.
Living in Georgetown
Georgetown's median household income is approximately $75,000, with a workforce split between local employment and Austin-area commuters. The median age is around 38, though this is pulled upward by the large Sun City retirement community population. About 38% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The city's demographic makeup is approximately 65% White, 25% Hispanic, 4% Black, and 3% Asian, with the Hispanic population growing as the city expands southward toward Round Rock and the I-35 corridor.
