Why Georgetown?
Hill Country character. Austin-area connection.
Georgetown is more than a point on the map north of Austin. Its historic downtown, limestone architecture, parks and river trails give the city an identity of its own, while I-35 and SH 130 connect it to the wider Central Texas region.
Housing choices range from character homes near the Square to established neighborhoods, new master-planned communities, custom properties and age-restricted active-adult living. The right fit depends on how you want to live, what you value and the full cost of a specific property.

Georgetown, off the listing sheet
Make time for the places that make a city feel like home.
Georgetown & the Austin metro
North of Austin, connected across Central Texas.
Georgetown sits along I-35 with access to SH 130 and nearby east–west corridors. Nearby: Liberty Hill, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, downtown Austin and Austin-Bergstrom Airport. Travel conditions vary by time, route and construction, so test the trip that matters to your routine.
Schools
Verify the address, then research independently.
Georgetown-area properties may be served by different public school districts depending on location. Boundaries and assignments can change, and a Georgetown mailing address does not by itself confirm a district or campus.
For a specific property, verify assignments with the district and review neutral information through official district sources and the Texas Education Agency.
