Replace rushing with relaxing, and traffic with tranquility. Surrounded by the peaceful Texas Hill Country, Georgetown is a real-life Mayberry where people still smile and waving passing each other on the street. When you’re here, you’ll find you can’t help but to slow down and enjoy this simpler, less chaotic way of life.
Fastest Growing City in the U.S.
Georgetown is the fastest growing city in the U.S. with a population of 50,000 or more, and Williamson County is the seventh-fastest growing county, creating quite a demand for Georgetown real estate. Despite the city’s growth, however, Georgetown has retained its small-town charm and welcoming personality.
Near the Heart of Downtown
In the heart of downtown you’ll find the historic Georgetown Square – recently named the Best Town Square in Texas – where you can spend a leisurely day shopping for eclectic artisanal goods, antiques, fine jewelry, unique clothing, and local art; dining at one of several upscale restaurants; and even visiting one of two wineries that have storefronts there.
Holiday Festivities
During the holidays, Georgetown Square is even more magical with festive decorations, sparkling seasonal lights and special celebrations. The annual Christmas stroll is free and full of activities for both children and adults.
Within Walking Distance
Within walking distance of the historic square you’ll discover San Gabriel Park, a lush park with the San Gabriel River flowing through it, which provides the perfect place to enjoy swimming or picnicking along the riverbank. This beautiful landscaped park offers something for everyone, including three-mile hike and bike trail, volleyball, frisbee golf, and numerous ball fields.
