Sun City

Sun City Texas is a Del Webb 55-plus active adult community spread across 5,300 acres of Hill Country in Georgetown. Three championship golf courses, four fitness centers, eight pools, and a calendar stacked with clubs and classes all sit inside the gates. It is one of the largest communities of its kind in the country, and the amenity package is why.

Real Estate in Sun City

One rule shapes this entire market: Sun City is deed-restricted 55-plus housing. That restriction is recorded against the property, not a marketing preference, and it is permitted under the Housing for Older Persons Act. Inventory runs from smaller resale floor plans to custom homes on golf course frontage and Hill Country view lots, which trade at a different level than interior lots. Some new construction remains available alongside resale. Prices move. Ask me for current comps instead of trusting a number on a website.

Here is the part buyers get wrong. The HOA covers exterior maintenance, lawn care, and common area upkeep, and the dues buy access to the golf, the pools, and the fitness centers. Compare a Sun City payment straight across to a house payment somewhere with no HOA and Sun City looks expensive. Add back what you would pay separately for yard service, a gym membership, and golf, and the math changes. Run that comparison before you decide anything.

Schools in Sun City

Sun City sits inside the Georgetown Independent School District. Southwestern University is close enough that its cultural and educational programming lands on the community calendar.

Dining and Lifestyle

Three on-site restaurants mean dinner does not require leaving the community. The Village Center handles shopping, dining, and gathering space. The social calendar runs deep: art workshops, book clubs, dance groups, travel excursions. Downtown Georgetown's historic square, named one of the most beautiful town squares in Texas, is a short drive out for restaurants, shops, galleries, and events all year.

Parks and Outdoor Living

Three championship golf courses, routed through the Hill Country terrain. Four fitness centers with group classes, weight rooms, and cardio equipment. Eight resort-style pools scattered across the community. Tennis, pickleball, bocce ball, horseshoes, and sports fields. A lakeside amphitheater for concerts and events. Walking and nature trails threading the landscaped grounds. Very few communities anywhere pack this much recreation inside one set of gates.

Housing Options

Floor plans skew single-story, and that is the real structural difference between Sun City and a standard subdivision: no stairs, wider halls, layouts built for low-maintenance ownership. Sizes run from efficient one-bedroom models to four-bedroom custom homes. Architecture leans Hill Country, with stone and stucco exteriors, covered patios, and open plans. The HOA takes exterior maintenance, lawn care, and common area upkeep off your list.

Getting Around

Sun City sits about five miles northwest of I-35 and roughly 35 miles north of downtown Austin. I-35 runs you to Round Rock, Austin, and San Antonio. Georgetown's downtown square is minutes away. Inside the community, an internal road network connects the neighborhoods to the amenity centers, the golf courses, and the Village Center. You will need a car for anything outside the gates, though a lot of daily life happens without one. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is about 45 minutes south.

Why Sun City

Championship golf, resort-style pools, serious fitness facilities, and a programming calendar most small cities cannot match, on 5,300 acres of Hill Country. The 55-plus deed restriction is the entry requirement. If you meet it and you want that amenity package, this is the largest and deepest version of it in Central Texas. Let's talk about what is available and what it should cost.
