The short answer
Georgetown is one of the nation's fastest-growing cities and a major hub for new construction in the Austin metro, about 30 miles north of downtown along I-35 in Williamson County. Buyers can choose from large master-planned communities like Wolf Ranch and Parkside on the River, with new homes generally running from the mid $300s to well over $1 million as of 2026. Most new communities carry MUD or PID taxes.

Georgetown new construction, by the numbers
- County
- Williamson County
- School districts
- Georgetown ISD, Liberty Hill ISD, Leander ISD, Jarrell ISD, Round Rock ISD
- Price range
- As of early 2026, new construction generally runs from the mid $300s (entry-level and 55+ homes) to $1 million and up (custom and estate homes at Wolf Ranch), with a new-construction median around $440,000. Builders were widely advertising rate buydowns (some near 2.99 percent) and closing incentives.
- Commute
- As of 2026, downtown Austin is roughly 30 miles south, about 35 to 45 minutes off-peak but 45 to 75 minutes during weekday rush hour on I-35. Georgetown is genuinely far north, and the multi-year I-35 Capital Express construction through central Austin is expected to disrupt the corridor into 2028. Many commuters pay tolls on SH-130 to bypass I-35.

Before the base price
Many Georgetown new communities carry a MUD or PID that layers extra taxes or assessments on top of city, county, and school taxes. In MUD communities such as Wolf Ranch, the combined property-tax rate was roughly 2.4 to 2.7 percent in the 2024 to 2025 tax years, versus closer to 1.5 to 1.7 percent for Georgetown property without a special district. Confirm the exact combined rate for the specific lot at the Williamson Central Appraisal District.

The case for and against Georgetown
No suburb is right for everyone. Here is how I would frame it for a client.
The case for
- Wide selection of master-planned communities and builders, giving buyers real choice on price point, floor plan, and lot type
- Aggressive 2026 builder incentives (rate buydowns, closing-cost help) as builders compete for buyers
- Historic, walkable downtown square with dining, festivals, and San Gabriel River parks and trails
- Most in-city new communities are zoned to well-regarded Georgetown ISD
- Generally lower price per square foot than comparable new homes closer to central Austin
The case against
- Far north location means a long and lengthening commute to downtown Austin and the main tech corridors
- Many new communities carry MUD or PID taxes that push effective rates above 2 percent
- Rapid growth brings road congestion, ongoing construction, and school crowding in some zones
- Newer sections have limited mature tree cover and full summer heat exposure
- Builder incentives can mask softening resale values, so new-home premiums may not fully hold
On your side of the table
What a buyer’s agent watches for in Georgetown
- +Get the exact combined rate for the specific Wolf Ranch, Parkside, or Parmer Ranch section in writing, since Georgetown's MUD and PID rates vary widely by community and phase
- +Budget from the final improved value plus the special district, not the low first-year bill on unimproved Williamson County land
- +Pin down the ISD for the exact address, since Georgetown-area and ETJ lots can land in Liberty Hill, Leander, Jarrell, or Round Rock ISD rather than Georgetown ISD
- +Register Luke before your first model visit in Sun City or Wolf Ranch, where on-site agents work for the builder and buydowns and lot premiums are negotiable
- +In fast-selling north-Georgetown phases, weigh lot premiums and design-center minimums that can add tens of thousands over the base
- +Ask where your phase sits in the buildout, since far-north Georgetown sections can border active construction for years
