Buyers who want more space and the lowest price of the four towns, and don't need a top-rated district to be the deciding factor.
A 3-bedroom resale, including Sun City's active-adult inventory
A 4-bedroom resale or new-construction home
Georgetown centers on a well-known historic downtown square, and the city is also home to Sun City, one of the largest active-adult communities in the country. It's the furthest of the four towns from Austin, and one of the fastest-growing cities in the country by population, which shapes a lot of what's being built here today.
Georgetown ISD carries a C (76/100) rating for 2024–25 — up from 73 the year before, with 6 campuses showing gains, so it's trending in the right direction.
Georgetown is the furthest of the four towns from Austin, so plan on a longer drive in — that extra distance is exactly what buys the extra space and new-construction inventory that draws people here.
In the $380K–$420K range, expect a 3-bedroom resale — including Sun City's active-adult inventory. Push into $420K–$550K and you're typically looking at a 4-bedroom resale or new-construction home.
Yes — Georgetown has been one of the fastest-growing cities in the country by population for several years running, which is part of why it has the most new-construction inventory of the four towns.
Texas has no state income tax, but property taxes run higher to compensate — Georgetown's combined effective rate (city, county, Georgetown ISD, and Williamson County levies) runs around 2.20%, the lowest of the four towns (Williamson County Property Tax Guide, updated May 2026). The offset: Texas's homestead exemption removes $140,000 of your home's value from school district taxation once it's your primary residence (Texas Comptroller, Tax Code §11.13(b)), so your actual bill runs meaningfully below the headline rate once that's applied.
