History, development, and the Del Webb legacy
Sun City Georgetown (officially Sun City Texas) is the largest active adult community in Texas and one of the premier 55+ communities in the United States. Developed by Del Webb, the legendary builder who pioneered the active adult concept with the original Sun City in Phoenix, Arizona, this master-planned community spans over 5,300 acres of rolling Texas Hill Country on the western edge of Georgetown, Texas.
Del Webb purchased more than 7,000 acres of ranch land in 1994. Home construction began in October 1995, and the first residents moved in by spring 1996. Since then, Sun City Georgetown has grown to more than 5,600+ homes with a projected build-out of approximately 10,000 homes. The community is the first and only Del Webb Sun City in Texas, making it a flagship destination for active adults across the country.
Located within Williamson County just 30 miles north of Austin, Sun City Georgetown sits in one of the fastest-growing regions in America. Georgetown itself has been named the fastest-growing city in America by the U.S. Census Bureau multiple years running, with a population that has surged past 100,000. The community offers residents an extraordinary combination of resort-style amenities, an active social calendar, and the peace of mind that comes from living in one of the safest, most respected 55+ communities in the nation.
What $250K to $1M+ gets you in Sun City
Sun City Georgetown offers a wide range of home styles to suit every taste and budget. From intimate patio homes to spacious estate residences, there is a perfect home for every stage of your active adult life. I have walked through hundreds of these homes, and I know which floor plans work best for different lifestyles.
1,000 to over 3,000 square feet. Open-concept floor plans with split bedrooms, gourmet kitchens, covered patios, and attached two-car garages. Many homes feature study rooms, media rooms, and expanded owner's suites.
Attached homes with shared walls, typically 900 to 1,600 square feet. Perfect for those who want to downsize without sacrificing quality. Low-maintenance exteriors with lawn care included in the HOA.
Single-story homes designed around a private courtyard or patio. Indoor-outdoor living with covered patios, landscaped courtyards, and seamless transitions between interior and exterior spaces.

Williamson County tax rates and what your HOA covers
Texas has no state income tax, meaning Social Security benefits, pension income, and retirement account withdrawals are not taxed by the state. The effective combined property tax rate in Williamson County is approximately 1.39% to 1.55%. Homeowners aged 65 and older can file for an over-65 exemption that freezes school district taxes at the amount owed in the year they qualify, providing significant long-term savings. For retirees moving from high-tax states like California, New York, or Illinois, the savings can amount to tens of thousands of dollars annually.
Sun City Georgetown HOA fees range from approximately $1,535 to $1,900 per year ($128 to $158 per month), depending on the specific neighborhood. There is also a one-time working capital fee of $650 to $1,000 paid at closing for new home purchases.
Note: Golf memberships are separate from HOA fees and are optional. Full golf memberships start at approximately $350+ per month. Social memberships (no golf) are available from approximately $200 per month.

Lifestyle, weather, and the community you have been looking for
Sun City is not just a place to live. It is a lifestyle destination. From morning fitness classes to afternoon golf to evening card games and dinner with new friends, every day offers something to look forward to. Neighbors become family. The transition to retirement becomes an adventure. Residents often say the best decision they ever made was moving to Sun City.
Georgetown enjoys 228 sunny days per year with an average annual temperature of 66.7 degrees Fahrenheit. Spring and fall are the most pleasant seasons, ideal for golf, hiking, and outdoor activities. Summers are warm with highs in the mid-90s, perfect for poolside living. Winters are mild with highs in the 50s and 60s. Compared to retirement destinations in the Northeast or Midwest, Sun City residents enjoy year-round outdoor living.
Ask any Sun City resident what they love most, and the answer is almost always the same: the community and the lifestyle. There is a sense of belonging, purpose, and connection that is hard to find anywhere else. Georgetown is consistently ranked as one of the safest cities in Texas with a violent crime rate well below the national average. The age-restricted community structure, active neighborhood watch programs, and responsive Georgetown Police Department provide an additional layer of security and peace of mind.
