Sun City

Sun City Texas is one of the largest and most acclaimed 55-plus active adult communities in the country, offering resort-style living across 5,300 acres of Texas Hill Country in Georgetown. Developed by Del Webb, Sun City provides an extraordinary lifestyle for active adults — with three championship golf courses, four fitness centers, eight pools, and a calendar packed with social and recreational programming. With home prices ranging from the low $200s for resale properties to over $900,000 for custom estates, Sun City offers genuine value for the lifestyle it delivers.

Real Estate in Sun City

Sun City's real estate market caters exclusively to the 55-plus buyer, with approximately 7,500 homes currently built and plans for a total buildout of around 10,000. New construction base prices start in the mid-$300s, while resale homes offer entry points as low as the mid-$100s to low $200s for smaller floor plans. Custom-built homes in premium locations — including golf course frontage and Hill Country view lots — range from $500,000 to over $900,000. The community's size and maturity mean a wide selection of home styles and price points is typically available at any given time.

Schools in Sun City

As a 55-plus active adult community, Sun City does not have a traditional school-age population. However, the community is located within the Georgetown Independent School District, which is well-regarded for families in the broader area. For grandparents hosting grandchildren, Georgetown's schools and family-friendly amenities are conveniently nearby. The proximity to Southwestern University adds cultural and educational programming to the community's resources.

Dining and Lifestyle

Sun City's lifestyle is the centerpiece of the community. Three on-site restaurants provide convenient dining without leaving the neighborhood. The community's social calendar is packed with clubs, classes, and events — from art workshops and book clubs to dance groups and travel excursions. The Village Center serves as the community's social hub, with shopping, dining, and gathering spaces. Downtown Georgetown's historic square — named one of the most beautiful town squares in Texas — is a short drive away, offering restaurants, shops, galleries, and community events throughout the year.

Parks and Outdoor Living

Outdoor recreation in Sun City is extraordinary by any standard. Three championship golf courses provide daily play for golf enthusiasts, with course designs that showcase the Hill Country's natural beauty. Four state-of-the-art fitness centers offer group classes, weight rooms, and cardio equipment. Eight resort-style swimming pools are scattered throughout the community for year-round enjoyment. Tennis courts, pickleball courts, bocce ball, horseshoes, and sports fields add variety. A lakeside amphitheater hosts concerts and community events. Walking trails and nature paths wind through the community's landscaped grounds, providing scenic routes for daily exercise.

Housing Options

Sun City's housing is designed specifically for active adult living, with single-story floor plans that emphasize comfort, accessibility, and low-maintenance ownership. You'll find a range of home sizes from efficient one-bedroom models to spacious four-bedroom custom homes. Architectural styles feature Texas Hill Country influences with stone and stucco exteriors. Many homes include covered patios, open floor plans, and upgraded finishes. The community's HOA handles exterior maintenance, lawn care, and common area upkeep, allowing residents to focus on enjoying their active lifestyle rather than home maintenance.

Getting Around

Sun City is located in Georgetown, approximately five miles northwest of I-35 and about 35 miles north of downtown Austin. The I-35 corridor provides direct access to Round Rock, Austin, and San Antonio. Georgetown's historic downtown square is just minutes away for shopping and dining. The community's internal road network connects neighborhoods to amenity centers, golf courses, and the Village Center. While the community is car-dependent for travel outside its borders, many daily needs can be met within Sun City itself. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is approximately 45 minutes south.

It's a community where active adults thrive, where friendships form over shared interests, and where the Texas Hill Country provides a beautiful backdrop for this next chapter of life.
