rooms, game rooms, media rooms and

The expansion along the northeastern
corridor of Austin has meant opportunity
for the city of Hutto, and an opportunity to
find great homes at affordable prices for
families in the Austin area. The overall
growth of Williamson County and the
increase of major employers from
Georgetown to Austin settling in and
around I- 35 have encouraged the
development of several new subdivisions
around Hutto over the past few years.
And, while some might be put off by
having to travel on I- 35 to commute into
Austin, the development of the SH- 130
toll road through both Williamson and
Travis Counties offers plenty of alternate
transportation options.
SH- 130 is the largest highway contract in
the history of Texas, and the $3.6 billion
project includes the extension of Mopac
and Toll Road 45, providing 49 miles of
toll road that extends from IH- 35 north of
Georgetown south to U.S. 183 southeast
of Austin.
Many choose to make Hutto their home
because of its proximity to schools such
as the Texas State University campus in
Round Rock and Southwestern University
in Georgetown, and major employers
such as Samsung and Cypress
Semiconductor. Dell Diamond, home of
the Round Rock Express Baseball Club
franchise owned by Nolan Ryan, is also
close, as are the Round Rock Outlet mall
and major anchor retail stores like IKEA.
Located off Highway 79, Hutto offers
affordable homes in close proximity to
Georgetown, Taylor, Round Rock and
Pflugerville, with affordable homes that
range in price from the low $100s to the
