The Best Neighborhoods in Georgetown, TX

Feeder path: Wolf Ranch Elem B → Tippit MS C → East View HS C

Wolf Ranch is Georgetown's flagship master-planned community on the west side of I-35, and the one most relocating families land on first. It sits fully inside the city limits, which keeps municipal services and police coverage straightforward, but layers two Georgetown Municipal Utility Districts (#28 and #29) on top — the financing mechanism behind the amenity build-out, and a line item you'll see on the tax bill. Expect roughly 16 miles of trails today, with more planned at build-out, plus a resort-style amenity center. A greenbelt with frontage on the South Fork of the San Gabriel River is part of the plan for the community's outdoor space; treat river access as a planned feature rather than a finished one until you've walked it.

New-construction base pricing from the developer runs from the low $300s into the $900s depending on section and builder; the resale range above reflects what's actually trading today.

Feeder path: McCoy Elem C → Forbes MS C → Georgetown HS B

Berry Creek is the established golf-course neighborhood on Georgetown's north side, and it has a cleaner tax structure than Wolf Ranch: the entire subdivision sits inside the city limits with no MUD or PID layered on, putting the combined rate in the neighborhood of 1.8%. It also feeds Georgetown High School rather than East View — a different high school from Wolf Ranch despite both being Georgetown ISD.

The golf here is The Club at Berry Creek, a private members-only club with a 1986 Carl Doering course running up to roughly 6,600 yards, plus restaurant, pool and splash pad, 24/7 fitness, and tennis. Membership is separate from owning a home — buying in Berry Creek neither includes nor requires the club.

Feeder path: San Gabriel Elem B → Benold MS B → East View HS C

Cimarron Hills is the most expensive neighborhood in this guide and the first that sits outside the Georgetown city limits — it's in the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), served by Williamson County MUD #26 and its own Public Improvement District. The centerpiece is Cimarron Hills Golf & Country Club, a gated, Troon-managed club built around a 7,302-yard Jack Nicklaus Signature course the club bills as among the finest in Texas. Unlike Berry Creek, membership here is not optional: every homeowner carries a mandatory Resident Social Membership, roughly $5,000 to initiate and about $295/month at 2026 rates (subject to change), with higher tiers for sport and golf access.

Note the school geography: San Gabriel Elementary is zoned to Cimarron Hills but physically located in Liberty Hill, and the distances to the middle and high schools are real — the high school is nearly 17 miles out. The neighborhood is Georgetown ISD only, despite the club's own site referencing two districts.

Sun City is the Del Webb active-adult giant on Georgetown's northwest side — roughly 92% built out, with about 9,700 of a planned ~10,500 homes in place. It's a 55+ community: at least one occupant must be 55 or older, no full-time residents under 18 (visits up to 90 days are fine), and a surviving spouse under 55 may remain. There's no "buy at 50" path. The community is a designated golf-cart community with three public championship courses plus "The Den," a 9-hole course expected to open in late 2026. The base HOA runs about $1,960/year; golf is a separate, optional cost.

Current resale inventory spans roughly $235K to $1.75M across 131 active listings, with new construction from Del Webb running about $339K to $724K. We keep a dedicated deep-dive on this community — read the full Sun City Texas guide for cost of living, HOA detail, and the golf breakdown.

Feeder path: Village Elem B → Benold MS B → Georgetown HS B

If schools are the deciding factor, Georgetown Village has the best feeder path in this entire guide — a straight B-B-B run from elementary through high school, with the elementary a walkable two-thirds of a mile from much of the neighborhood. It's an inside-the-city community carrying the Georgetown Village PID 1 (a public improvement district that funds neighborhood infrastructure and shows on the tax bill). The housing stock is largely 1990s–2000s production homes with a "return of the neighborhood" walkable-village character, and there's a City of Georgetown pool and park inside the neighborhood — city-operated, not HOA-gated.

Feeder path: Purl Elem D → Forbes MS C → East View HS C

Old Town is Georgetown's historic residential district — 1930s bungalows on established lots, walkable to the Courthouse Square, and the cleanest tax structure of any neighborhood here (inside the city, no MUD, no PID; the district predates special-district financing). One clarification worth making: the residential Old Town Overlay is a distinct district from the commercial Downtown/Square overlay, though they sit contiguous, so "walk to the Square" is literal.

The honest caution is schools. Old Town is zoned to Purl Elementary, which received a D rating (scaled score 66) in the 2025 TEA accountability cycle and was identified for targeted support and improvement, with roughly 72% of students economically disadvantaged and an F on the Student Achievement component. It's the weakest zoned elementary in this guide, and it feeds East View rather than Georgetown High despite the central location. If you're buying in Old Town with young kids, this belongs at the center of your decision.

Two feeder paths, by section:

GISD side: Carver Elem C → Tippit MS C → East View HS C
RRISD side: Teravista Elem A → Hopewell MS B → Stony Point HS B

Teravista is a 1,500-acre master-planned community of roughly 3,400 homes, established around 2001, with the twist that it straddles a district line. Neither side is inside a city — both are ETJ — and the "Round Rock" or "Georgetown" in an address is a mailing and school-district label, not a jurisdiction. The buyer-critical fact: the Round Rock ISD side rates materially higher (A/B/B) than the Georgetown ISD side (C/C/C), in the same HOA community, split by section. Two homes on the same amenities can carry very different school assignments.
