Review of Georgetown, Texas


good place to live only if you are a senior
Star Rating - 5/4/2008
I am 34 years old and am a former home owner of Georgetown. Georgetown is a pretty town, but not outsider-friendly. The commute to Austin(where any decent jobs are) was bad, but most of all, the skyrocketing housing prices and property taxes are not worth moving to Georgetown for. An over-budgeted city and county law enforcement make it an unpleasant town for younger people who are frequently pulled over and harassed for no reason, and much worse if you are not a local country boy. My advise, move to South Austin or the Buda/Kyle area if you want affordable housing, friendly people and close access to Austin or San Antonio .
