Georgetown is widely considered the senior-living capital of Williamson County, thanks in large part to Sun City Texas, one of the largest active-adult communities in the state with over 9,000 homes. But Georgetown has much more to offer beyond Sun City. The historic downtown square is one of the most beautifully preserved in Texas, lined with locally owned shops, cafes, and the Georgetown Public Library. The San Gabriel River runs through town and feeds the popular Blue Hole swimming area and miles of walking trails along the river corridor. Seniors who value culture will enjoy regular events at the Palace Theatre and seasonal markets on the square. St. David's Georgetown Hospital and Georgetown Health Foundation provide solid healthcare infrastructure. The Georgetown Senior Activity Center on Rock Street offers classes in everything from watercolor painting to line dancing. Neighborhoods like Berry Creek and Cimarron Hills provide resort-style living with golf courses and clubhouses. Georgetown was named the most beautiful town square in Texas, and residents take real pride in keeping it that way. The pace of life here is calm but never boring, with enough going on to keep any week full.
