5 Lies About Georgetown, TX

,

What’s really going on in Georgetown, TX – can you believe what you hear?  I’m going to break down 5 lies you’ve probably heard about Georgetown, TX and tell you the truth, because you deserve that. 

Lie #1 – It’s all California Money

There is a humongous new development in the works that is coming from a local family who has been in Georgetown, TX for generations. This development is called Wolf Lakes Village which is a European style development.

Lie #2 – Georgetown, TX is all red

I have found that this is not the case and Georgetown, TX is actually pretty purple. Georgetown is pretty diverse compared to Austin, TX. You will be interacting with people with different opinions and lifestyles.

Lie #3 – It’s just like any other suburb

Georgetown, TX is really unique and has lots of history, such as the first university in Texas, Southwestern University. Georgetown Square is one of the best preserved Victorian and Pre-WWI historic downtown districts.

Lie #4 – There’s not a whole lot to do in Georgetown, TX

Not only is there amazing downtown with restaurants, shops and wineries. Lake Georgetown is super close to downtown where you can find boating, water sports, camping, horseback riding and hiking. You also have events like the rodeo and music on the square (in the summer months).

Lie #5 – Georgetown is all residential and business to consumer growth

Georgetown, TX is one of the hottest sectors in the industrial market and there is a really big demand for the industrial space. There are a few developments going in – Northpark 35, Gateway 36 and a 12-acre flex & industrial complex.

You can’t believe everything that you read on the internet as most people don’t know how cool Georgetown, TX is. There’s a lot of growth and it is not just a sleepy town!

Don’t Move to Cedar Park, Texas | Especially if you hate…

,

Cedar Park, TX, just outside of Austin, sounds like a great place to live.  I think it’s really cool.  

But it may not be for you. 

 

I am here to give you some straight talk about what are the worst things about Cedar Park.

 

If you don’t want to hear kids laughing and playing in the streets or parks, then Cedar Park is not the place for you!

Cedar park has a ton of parks, trails and stuff for families to do like visiting Champion Park and the huge dinosaur sculpture.

 

If you don’t want cool houses where you can enjoy gardening, cooking or running, then Cedar Park is not the place for you!

You can enjoy life from your own home, whether you are into gardening, home brewing or woodworking, Cedar Park has some really awesome homes that allows you to do your thing and enjoy life.

 

If you don’t want business or job opportunities, then Cedar Park is not the place for you!

Every industry in Cedar Park is growing, from the tech industry to food & beverage to entertainment. Many startup companies are moving their headquarters here creating lots of opportunities.

 

If you don’t want fun stuff to do, either as an adult or kid, then Cedar Park is not the place for you!

Cedar Park had the HEB event center where you can see concerts and different events such as the rodeo. There are also museums, skateboard parks, pools with little water parks, great restaurants and so much more!

 

But, if you want all those things, then check out Cedar Park, it might just be the community that you are looking for!

Don’t Move to Georgetown, TX especially if you hate…

,

Georgetown, TX, just outside of Austin, sounds like a great place to live.  I think it’s really cool.  But it may not be for you. 

I’m going to tell you the 5 reasons you won’t want to move to Georgetown;

  1. You don’t want to be part of a growing city.

Georgetown is growing by leaps and bounds but it’s different from the growth that’s happening in Leander or Cedar Park. (Link to other vlogs)

The growth in Georgetown, TX is more in the industrial sector with lots of opportunity for industrial manufacturing and attracting high quality jobs. This is due mainly to its location along the interstate.

  1. You are looking for big city vibe where you can walk everywhere and be close to everything

Georgetown, TX is more spread out and has a much lower population density than anywhere in Austin, TX.

There is a LOT of new construction happening for single family and multifamily homes such as the rolling hills of Rancho Sienna or the European style development of Wolf Lakes Village.

  1. You want to live in an echo chamber

No matter what your position or philosophy is, about half of the Georgetown population is going to disagree with you.

  1. You want to live in an area with zero potential for natural disasters

You may not experience volcanoes, earthquakes or hurricanes in Georgetown, TX, but there are tornado risks.

  1. You don’t care about good food

Georgetown, TX has some really good food options. I highly recommend that you check out El Monumento. It is an upscale Mexican restaurant overlooking the blue hole lagoon.

The perfect place to enjoy a spicy margarita with friends.
