Active Retirement Living in the Heart of Texas
The greater Austin and Georgetown area has become one of the most popular retirement and active adult destinations in the United States, offering warm weather year-round, excellent healthcare facilities, no state income tax, diverse cultural and recreational opportunities, and some of the finest 55+ communities in the country. Georgetown's Sun City leads the way as one of the largest and most acclaimed active adult communities in Texas, but numerous other options throughout the region provide varying lifestyles, price points, and amenity packages for retirees and active adults seeking their ideal next chapter. From golf-centered communities to nature-oriented retreats, from lock-and-leave convenience to sprawling single-story homes, the Austin area's 55+ market delivers options for every retirement vision. Mike Cusimano helps active adults and retirees evaluate communities, understand HOA structures and fees, assess resale values, and find the perfect community that matches their lifestyle priorities.
Sun City Georgetown is a Del Webb community of 9,900+ homes offering three golf courses, multiple pools and fitness centers, over 100 social clubs, tennis courts, pickleball, fishing ponds, miles of trails, and a vibrant social calendar with hundreds of monthly events. Homes range from the $300Ks to $700K+ with low-maintenance single-story designs. Georgetown ISD serves grandchildren visiting, and the historic downtown square is minutes away.
Kissing Tree in San Marcos offers a more intimate 55+ experience with a focus on outdoor living, craft beverages (on-site brewery), resort pool, fitness center, and trails. Located between Austin and San Antonio with homes from the $300Ks to $500K+, Kissing Tree attracts active adults seeking a more casual, nature-oriented retirement lifestyle with a younger community feel.
For retirees seeking luxury and lake proximity, Trilogy at Lake Travis offers an upscale 55+ experience with a resort-style club, pool, spa, fitness center, and social programming in the beautiful Lakeway/Lake Travis area. Higher price points ($500K-$800K+) reflect the premium location and luxury finishes.
Active adult communities typically have HOA fees ranging from $150-$400/month covering exterior maintenance, common area upkeep, and amenity access. Some communities include lawn care, exterior painting, and roof maintenance in HOA fees, significantly reducing homeowner burden. We help you understand total monthly costs and compare value across communities.
Georgetown and Austin offer world-class healthcare including Baylor Scott & White, St. David's, Ascension Seton, and numerous specialty practices. The region's cultural offerings — live music, theater, museums, restaurants, and University of Texas events — provide endless entertainment. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport provides convenient travel for visiting family.
