About Sun City Georgetown, TX Real Estate
Living in Sun City Georgetown
Sun City Georgetown is not simply a neighborhood. It is a destination built around a specific vision of what retirement living can be. Del Webb broke ground here in 1995 and has spent the decades since adding amenities, phases, and infrastructure that now make Sun City one of the most complete active adult communities in Texas. Three recreation centers serve as the social backbone of daily life: the Texas Star Recreation Center, the Cowan Creek Recreation Center, and the Retreat Recreation Center. Each features fitness equipment, indoor pools, aerobics studios, and meeting spaces for the clubs and activities that fill the Sun City calendar year-round. Residents consistently cite the community's social connectivity as one of the primary reasons they chose Georgetown over other retirement destinations in the Austin metro.
Golf defines a significant part of life here. Sun City features 27 holes spread across two courses, Legacy Hills Golf Club and White Wing Golf Club, both open exclusively to residents and their guests. Beyond golf, the community includes outdoor pools, tennis and pickleball courts, softball fields, fishing ponds, bocce courts, and a trail system that winds through green spaces and connects the various phases of the community. A dedicated on-site restaurant, a fully stocked pro shop, and resident garden plots round out a lifestyle infrastructure that few communities anywhere in Central Texas can replicate. Golf carts are not just a novelty here. They are a genuine mode of transportation, and many residents use them daily to get between recreation centers, visit neighbors, or reach the community's gathering spots.
Neighborhoods and Subdivisions in Sun City Georgetown
Sun City Georgetown was built in phases over nearly three decades, and those phases reflect real differences in home size, lot configuration, and finish level. Early phases in the western portions of the community introduced compact ranch-style homes on smaller lots, built for simplicity and ease of maintenance. Later phases pushed east and south, bringing larger floor plans with higher ceilings, expanded primary suites, and garages sized to accommodate golf carts alongside a standard vehicle. The Sun City Nbrhd section on our site is a good entry point for exploring available homes by area.
Nearly all construction throughout Sun City follows single-story layouts. Buyers will find two-bedroom patio homes at the more accessible end of the market alongside three-bedroom plans with dedicated flex spaces used as home offices, craft rooms, or guest accommodations. Del Webb built across multiple product lines over the years, which means that two homes listed at a similar price can differ significantly in square footage, interior finishes, and outdoor living space. Spending time to tour multiple sections before making a decision pays real dividends here. Lot placement also matters more than buyers sometimes expect. Homes backing to a golf fairway, a pond, or one of the community's green corridors command meaningfully different interest than interior lots.
Schools Serving Sun City Georgetown
Sun City Georgetown is an age-restricted community that qualifies under HOPA guidelines, so school assignment is not a primary consideration for most buyers. That said, the community falls within Georgetown ISD, with portions in the Jarrell ISD service area. Georgetown ISD includes Georgetown High School, Jo Ann Ford Elementary, Douglas Benold Middle School, and The Village Elementary. Georgetown High School serves the broader city and offers a wide academic and extracurricular program that reflects the district's steady growth and investment. Buyers with grandchildren who visit regularly or who plan to have younger family members in the area will find Georgetown ISD a well-regarded district in Williamson County.
Real Estate Market Overview
Sun City's real estate market operates on its own terms. Because the community is age-restricted, the buyer pool is self-selecting and the inventory reflects the preferences and needs of that group. Two-bedroom patio homes account for a large portion of available listings, with three-bedroom homes representing most of the remainder. The community no longer has active new construction from Del Webb within the existing Sun City footprint, which means the market is entirely resale-driven. That dynamic generally gives buyers more room to negotiate than they would find in a community where a builder is actively setting price floors.
Buyers comparing Sun City to other communities in the area will find that Georgetown proper offers a mix of age-restricted and conventional neighborhoods, but Sun City remains the dominant choice for buyers who want a purpose-built active adult environment with decades of established amenity infrastructure. For those exploring the full range of Austin area homes for sale, Sun City represents one of the most lifestyle-driven purchases available in the metro. Condition, phase location, and proximity to recreation centers all influence resale value in ways that take some local knowledge to fully appreciate.
Getting Around Sun City Georgetown
Sun City sits on the northwest edge of Georgetown, with primary access via Williams Drive (FM 2338) and Ronald Reagan Boulevard. I-35 connects residents to Georgetown's downtown square in under 10 minutes and to the greater Austin metro in roughly 40 to 50 minutes depending on conditions. Texas 130 provides an efficient toll-road alternative for trips toward the Domain, Round Rock, or north Austin employment and medical centers. Cedar Park and Round Rock are both within 20 to 25 minutes, giving Sun City residents convenient reach to major hospital systems, regional retail at La Frontera Village and the Round Rock Premium Outlets, and a wide range of specialty dining and services.
Georgetown's historic downtown square, recognized as one of the most beautiful courthouse squares in Texas, is a short drive and offers independent restaurants, boutique shops, and a genuine small-town atmosphere that residents genuinely use and enjoy. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is approximately 55 to 65 minutes south, a reasonable drive for the frequent travelers that Sun City attracts from across the country.
