Coming soon (or soonish) to Georgetown Texas

Georgetown is growing, Georgetown is growing. We’ve all heard it, we’ve all seen it, and we’ve all experienced it when we hit morning traffic on Williams Drive. But even so, I thought you’d be interested in more information about some of the developments that are in the works.With homes priced from $100,000 to $250,000, La Conterra is a community being built near the intersection of Inner Loop and FM 1460. Just over 500 homes are planned for this community and ten acres of parkland that will be turned over to the city parks department. Phase I is already under construction.

Goodwater is a mixed-use development that will include single family homes, lofts, town homes, a school, hotel, and retail, as well as an 80-acre park with a 40-acre lake. The Goodwater concept if that of a town center, an area that will encourage residents to mingle and get to know each other. I love that we’re moving toward this type of neighborhood, to re-establish the human connections that we seem to have been losing in recent years. Obviously, I love the internet (I’m a techie girl, after all), but people crave connections with each other, and this type of development will facilitate friendships. On the website, if you click on “Information,” you can register with the Goodwater folks to be updated as the community develops. Please let them know that I directed you to their site by inputting my name in the Agent box. I want the developers to know how excited I am about what they’re doing.

Shadow Canyon wins my vote for coolest name. This community will include both single family and multi-family homes, so there should be a range of prices available. Shadow Canyon will be located west of Wolf Ranch on Highway 29. At this point, the zoning and initial platting are complete, and the neighborhood includes an 84-acre park. Have you noticed a trend? Developers are working hard to preserve park space, which should help to keep Georgetown beautiful throughout this massive growth spurt.

A couple of days ago, I told you about the retail space that is going to be developed at the corner of Austin Avenue and Inner Loop. Well, Inner Loop is a very busy place these days. Zoning has been approved for a retail development at the corner of Inner Loop and Highway 29, as well. Both of these retail spaces will be major shopping venues.

These are just a few of the many projects planned for the next few years in our lovely city. Between these and other developments, we will have homes for more than 30,000 additional residents in the years to come. The city is endeavoring to control and guide the growth so that Georgetown retains the charm for which it’s renowned, even as residents gain access to more and more services.
