Round Rock
Round Rock, 20 miles north of Downtown Austin, is a rarity among big-city suburbs—it’s neither a sleepy bedroom community nor an overbuilt urban extension. Instead, this diverse city of nearly 120,000 residents has a personality all its own.
Named for, you guessed it, the round rock found in Brushy Creek along the banks where the city was initially settled, Round Rock dates back to the early 1850s.
A long way from those horse and wagon days, recent years have shown incredible growth within the city. Regularly lauded as one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation, it’s not difficult to understand the popularity.
From its low cost of living to expansive parks, to its recreational areas and exemplary schools, Round Rock has always been celebrated as a standout location to lay down roots. Even with its recent expansion as a major hub for economic growth, most notably as the headquarters of Dell Technologies, Round Rock manages to retain all the charm from its Chisholm Trail cattle post days.
