We love our community of Georgetown! Now, we know most people love their community, but do they have to proof to back it up? Well, we do!
Take a look at all the reasons why we love Georgetown:
Most Beautiful Town Square in Texas – That’s right! Georgetown was voted as having the Most Beautiful Town Square in Texas…now, we know we may be a little biased, but we agree! And, if you’ve seen it, chances are you will too! Rows of shops line the Williamson County Courthouse. From restaurants to shops to wineries and bars, you will find everything you need on our town square. Not only is the town square a great place to stroll on weeknights and weekends, but it is also home to many of the Georgetown community events throughout the year. Upcoming events include First Friday on the Square on November 3rd, Boo Bash on October 30th, Turkey Trot on November 24th, Lighting of the Square on November 25th and more! Take a look at the upcoming special events.
Parking – If you can’t stand circling the block to find a parking spot, Georgetown is the place for you. Our town square is lined with angled parking spaces that offer up to three hours of free parking. Tell us, where can you find free parking in downtown Austin? Nowhere!
Friendly Small Town Community Feel – Even though the Georgetown community is a little more than half an hour north of the hustle and bustle of downtown Austin, it still retains its small town friendly community atmosphere that we love. It is very seldom that people don’t say hello as you pass on the town square. And, since it is legal to carry alcohol around the town square, you will often see people strolling around the town square with a glass of wine from Grape Creek Winery or a beer from Roots.
History – It’s no wonder the town square was voted the most beautiful in Texas! The beautiful limestone buildings that line Georgetown’s town square date back to the 1800s and early 1900s. Also if you’re looking for some history, visit the 1910 Farmers State Bank Building at 716 S. Austin Street. This free Williamson Museum exhibits local artifacts that date back as far as the Civil War – and as a bonus, during several weekends in October, the museum offers ghost tours. Take a look here for more information on the ghost tours!
Dining – Georgetown is full of fantastic dining options. Here are a couple of our favorites near the town square:
- Monument Café – 500 S. Austin Ave. – Offers delicious burgers, catfish and amazing homemade pies!
- Hollow – 708 S. Austin Ave. – Upscale style restaurant with fantastic pork belly recipes!
- Sweet Serendipity – countless dessert options! If you love truffles, this is the place for you!
