Why We Love Georgetown!

with:

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!

downtown-georgetown

 

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!

Upcoming Events:

  • Boo Bash on October 30th – Town Square merchants open their stores for trick-or-treating to all in costume! Stores are open from 3 to 6 p.m. for trick-or-treating.
  • Turkey Trot on November 24th – Annual Thanksgiving Day run that starts and finishes on the town square. Features a 5-mile run/walk and a 1-mile walk – starting at 8 a.m.
  • Lighting of the Square on November 25th – The Georgetown Town Square illuminates with the annual lighting ceremony. Lighting held at 5:30 p.m.
  • For more events, click here!

We love our community!

We are located right on the wonderful Georgetown town square, and we love visitors! Come see us anytime if you have questions about the Georgetown community or real estate market.

Did you find the perfect pumpkin to carve into this year’s Halloween Jack-O-Lantern? For your reference, here is a link with several pumpkin carving patterns and stencils. Happy carving!

 

After spending the time carving your pumpkin it can be extremely disappointing for it to rot before Halloween. So, after carving, do the following to ensure your pumpkin doesn’t rot before Halloween:

  • Spray all the carved areas of the pumpkin with a bleach solution (1 tablespoon of bleach per quart of water)
  • Allow the bleach to penetrate the pumpkin and let dry for approximately 20 minutes
  • Once dry, rub all the carved areas with petroleum jelly
  • Applying the bleach and petroleum jelly will help keep your pumpkin from rotting before Halloween
  • And, as an extra precautionary measure, always keep your pumpkin out of direct sunlight

Do you have any questions about the Georgetown community? We love our community and would be happy to answer any questions you may have!

We hope you have a fantastic time at the pumpkin patches and this year’s Halloween Jack-O-Lantern turns out amazing!

In order to implement these new guidelines, the school day will be extended to 7.5 hours for each school within the school district. This will increase the instructional time for each level by the following: 20 minutes for elementary schools, 5 minutes for middle schools and 30 minutes for high schools.
