Wolf Ranch, Georgetown: Neighborhood Guide for Buyers

If you're looking for a newer master-planned community with great amenities, Wolf Ranch is very popular right now. That's honestly the first thing I tell people who ask about it.

Here's where it sits, what's there, who's building, and what I'd check before you fall in love with a floor plan.

What kind of place is Wolf Ranch?

One of the questions I get asked the most is, "What's the best neighborhood in Georgetown?"

My answer is always the same. It depends on you.

Every neighborhood has its own personality, so you can usually find something that's a fit. Wolf Ranch's personality is new, planned and full of amenities.

Do you want a pool you don't have to clean? Do you want trails right outside your door? Would you rather pick your own finishes than inherit someone else's?

If those sound like you, I'd put Wolf Ranch on your list. If you love mature trees and a bigger lot, I'd show you Berry Creek too. If luxury is what you're after, Cimarron Hills is hard to beat.

Where is Wolf Ranch?

It's on Georgetown's west side, and I like how easy it is to get to. Hillwood says the community is about half a mile from the I-35 and Highway 29 interchange.

Wolf Ranch Town Center is right across the street, which I think is one of the easiest perks to overlook.

That's where you'll find Target, Kohl's, Best Buy and T.J. Maxx. It's a separate shopping center with its own owners, not part of the neighborhood.

You're close to the downtown square, and close enough to Austin if you need to commute. I'd still drive it at rush hour before you decide, because I-35 has a mind of its own.

How big is Wolf Ranch?

It's about 1,120 acres, and Hillwood broke ground in late 2015. It's split into three areas, and each one feels a little different. I'd walk all three with you.

Hilltop came first. It's home to The Den, the original amenity center, and it's where I'd expect most of the resale homes.

South Fork runs along the South Fork of the San Gabriel River. That's where you'll find River Camp.

West Bend is the third and final area, south of Highway 29. It has about 671 homesites, and its model homes opened in May 2025.

About 2,465 homes are planned in all, and Hillwood expects to finish by the end of 2028. If you want new construction here, my advice is not to wait forever.

What amenities does Wolf Ranch have?

This is the part people love, and I get it. Here's what I'd want you to know, from what Hillwood lists as of November 2026.

The Den in Hilltop has a 150-foot infinity-edge pool. It opened in 2018.

River Camp in South Fork opened in 2023. It has a pool with cabanas, a splash pad, a gym called the Fit House, an event hall, and sport and pickleball courts.

Trails run about 16 miles today, with 20 planned. They tie into the Georgetown Regional Trail.

Parks include Barefoot, Discover, 3D and Sunset parks, plus the Don Walden Dog Park, which is 3 acres and leash-free.

There's also a lifestyle director who plans events, which I think is a big part of the personality here. Hillwood's director won a 2026 NAHB Silver award for it.

I love being outside, especially anywhere near the water. So if trails and a river view matter to you, I'd look closely at South Fork.

Who builds in Wolf Ranch?

As of November 2026, Hillwood listed nine builders on lots from 40 to 70 feet wide. They're Coventry, Pulte, Lennar, Tri Pointe, Drees, Highland, Perry, Westin and David Weekley.

Each builder is in specific sections. So the area you fall for decides who you're building with, and that's one of the first things I'd sort out with you.

Here's who had homes and floor plans listed as of November 2026, and roughly where they sat:

• Highland Homes on 51-foot lots, with a median asking price of about $631,000.
• Perry Homes on 51-foot and 56-foot lots, at about $684,000 and $722,000.
• Drees Custom Homes in South Fork and on 60-foot and 70-foot lots, at about $715,000, $806,000 and $930,000.
• David Weekley Homes in West Bend, at about $755,000.
• Coventry, Highland and Pulte in the general Wolf Ranch listings, at about $570,000.

Those medians mix move-in-ready homes and floor plans, so treat them as a starting point. The finishes you add change the number fast.

How much are homes in Wolf Ranch?

As of November 2026, there were 48 move-in-ready new homes listed in Wolf Ranch. Their median asking price was about $711,000, at about $228 a square foot.

They ranged from about $438,000 to about $1.2 million. The median home was about 2,980 square feet with four bedrooms.

There were also 148 floor plans you could build from, starting at a median of about $684,000.

Here's how all 196 broke down by price as of November 2026:

• Under $500,000: 18 homes.
• $500,000 to $750,000: 121 homes.
• $750,000 to $1 million: 53 homes.
• $1 million or more: 4 homes.

So most of Wolf Ranch sits in the middle of that range, and that's where I'd expect you to have the most choice. The wider lots are where it climbs toward a million.

These are asking prices on new construction. Resale homes in Hilltop and South Fork aren't in these numbers, and I'd look at them too. They can be a different conversation.

What will it cost me each year?

This is where I'd slow down, because the sticker price isn't the whole payment.

The HOA. Hillwood lists it at $1,067 a year for 2025, billed twice a year. Patio and garden homes add a $1,200 a year landscape fee.

As of November 2026, David Weekley's West Bend page listed $1,120 a year, plus one-time fees at closing. I'd confirm the current number for your section.

The MUD. Wolf Ranch homes sit in a municipal utility district. That's a local district that paid for the water and roads, and it shows up on your tax bill.

My advice is to know that number before you pick a lot.

As of November 2026, David Weekley's West Bend page listed Williamson County MUD No. 28 at about 0.61%, and a total rate of about 2.43%. It didn't say which tax year.

That's why I'd look up the exact address with the Williamson Central Appraisal District. On a $700,000 home, a small difference in the rate adds up.

What schools serve Wolf Ranch?

Wolf Ranch is in Georgetown ISD. As of November 2026, Hillwood lists Wolf Ranch Elementary, which is inside the community, then Tippit Middle and East View High.

Zoning here is moving, though, and I want you to know that going in. In February 2026, Georgetown ISD approved moving part of Wolf Ranch Elementary's area to Frost and San Gabriel elementary schools for 2026-27.

The district also plans to redraw high school zones before High School No. 4 opens in 2028. So I'd check the exact address with the district, every time. That's my rule for any home I'd show you here.

Is now a good time to buy in Wolf Ranch?

If you're ready to buy, then yes, it's a great time to buy.

As of September 2026, I'm seeing more price reductions, seller concessions and even interest rate buydowns. Sellers have a lot of competition out there, so they're willing to negotiate a lot more than in past years.

Builders are part of that, from what I can see in the listings. As of November 2026, 18 of the 48 move-in-ready homes in Wolf Ranch showed a price cut.

If you're buying new, I'd ask every builder what they're offering on rate, closing costs and upgrades. It's different from one to the next, and I'll help you compare them.

The first step is always talking with a lender and getting pre-approved. It helps you understand your budget, and it lets us shop with a price and with confidence.

Then we get to do the fun part, and that's my favorite.

What I'd do before you buy here

• Visit on a Saturday morning, then on a weekday after work. You'll see the pools, the trails and the traffic for yourself.
• Walk the section, not just the model. Lot width, what's behind you, and how close you are to the amenities change a lot from street to street.
• Look up the tax rate for the exact address. Don't rely on a builder flyer.
• Confirm school zoning with Georgetown ISD. It changed in 2026 and it's changing again.
• Bring your own agent to the builder. I'll ask the questions you might not think to ask, like whether there's room for a casita, a boat or an RV.

What I want for you

I live here and raise my family here, and I've been doing this since 2013. Buying a home is one of the biggest purchases you'll ever make.

I'll bring the local perspective and give you my honest take. I answer my phone, and I stay involved the whole way through.

If you're thinking about moving to Georgetown, I'd love to help you find a place that feels like home, whether that's Wolf Ranch or somewhere with a different personality.

Verification notes

Every listing figure comes from active MLS listings pulled in November 2026. They cover new-construction listings tagged to a Wolf Ranch community, 48 move-in-ready homes and 148 floor plans. They're asking prices, not closed sales.

Resale homes in Wolf Ranch aren't tagged to the neighborhood in the listing feed, so they aren't counted.

The builder medians by section mix move-in-ready homes and base prices on floor plans.

The MUD and total tax rates come from a builder's page that doesn't name the tax year, and the rate may differ by section. I'd confirm both with the Williamson Central Appraisal District.

The 2026-27 rezoning numbers weren't confirmed in final form. Confirm any address with Georgetown ISD.

Amenity details, trail mileage and builder lists come from Hillwood and can change. My market read is from September 2026, and it'll change too.
