About University Park
University Park is a residential subdivision on the southeast side of Georgetown, in Williamson County, within the 78626 ZIP code. It is a homeowners-association neighborhood governed by the Property Owners of University Park (Georgetown) Homeowners' Association.
Georgetown is the seat of Williamson County and sits along Interstate 35 roughly 30 miles north of downtown Austin. The city grew quickly through the 2010s and 2020s: the U.S. Census Bureau named Georgetown the fastest-growing city in the United States by percent change among places of at least 50,000 residents, with 14.4 percent growth between July 2021 and July 2022. That expansion has pushed residential development across the city, including the eastern side of Georgetown, east of Interstate 35, where University Park is located.
The city's historic core is centered on the Williamson County Courthouse, a 1911 Beaux-Arts building whose surrounding Courthouse Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Georgetown is also home to Southwestern University, a private liberal arts university of roughly 1,400 students that describes itself as the first institution of higher learning in Texas, tracing its roots to Rutersville College in 1840 and its formation as Southwestern University in 1872.
University Park's zoned public schools, based on current attendance-zone boundaries, are listed in the Schools section of this page. The neighborhood offers access to Georgetown's civic, retail, and recreation amenities while remaining within the north Austin metropolitan commuting range via Interstate 35 and State Highway 130.
