Georgetown is definitely a great town too - has a beautiful park in the city. My only knock against there is that it’s right off i-35 and that wasn’t a big deal 20 years ago, but now it *feels* like a suburb of Austin when driving there. If staying mostly in Georgetown, wouldn’t be a big issue about i-35...
Pretty much now the Drive from DFW to Austin is one big google-plex, even Waco is expanding.
Driving towards Llano it opens up pretty quickly. Anyway, I’d love to live there.
