What it's like to live here
Georgetown mixes a walkable historic downtown with newer neighborhoods spreading west into the hills. Saturday mornings start on the square, evenings end at the river, and the drive into Austin is easy when you need it.
You'll find established streets with big oaks near downtown, newer master-planned communities on the edges of town, and acreage once you head toward the hills.
