Red poppies, Victorian architecture, the state’s most beautiful town square, Lake Georgetown – there’s a lot to love about beautiful Georgetown, Texas! This sunny city is warm and welcoming (the motto is Sincerely Yours, after all), so it’s easy to see why so many are moving to this terrific community. Georgetown is just 27 miles from Austin and it is home to Southwestern University, the oldest university in the state. Settled in the 1840s, Georgetown has a distinctive Victorian charm from its town square to its historic homes.
And while the brilliant red poppies make the landscape, well, pop, Georgetown isn’t just pretty. Residents enjoy amazing destinations like Blue Hole Park, home to a swimming lagoon surrounded by limestone bluffs. When they want a little culture, they head to Georgetown Arts Center, located in a historic firehouse. Shopping and dining takes on a whole new charm when enjoying both in the historic town square.
