Taylor is a great place to live, work
and raise a family – as well as
convenient and accessible to wherever
you might need to go. Located just 20
minutes east of IH 35 and 35 minutes
from downtown Austin and ABIA, the
city is the crossroad of SH 95 and U.
S. Hwy 79 with Amtrak train service,
Capital Area Rural Transit bus service
and a general aviation, municipal
airport. It’s easy to reach from
anywhere.
Newcomers to Taylor can’t help but be
charmed by this town that is steeped in
both tradition and family pride. The
turn-of-the-century historic downtown is
listed on the National Register of
Historic Places and is the home of
world renowned Louie Mueller
Barbecue, recipient of the prestigious
James Beard Foundation’s “American
Classics” Award. Barbecue is
legendary in Taylor, all different and all
good. Unique shopping may be found
downtown including shabby chic,
antiques and high quality boutiques
and restaurants.
Quality education is a priority for this
community, too – the new, $38 million
Taylor High School opened in 2011.
And, support for the community’s
Legacy Early College High School has
helped qualifying students receive
associates degrees from the East
Williamson County Higher Education
Center at the same time they receive
their high school diploma.
Scott & White Healthcare, which is
also based in Taylor, is an excellent
source of accessible healthcare here
with the Scott & White Clinic and Scott
& White Hospital – Taylor. Both are
connected to a premier network of
specialists and are part of one of the
nation’s largest multispecialty
healthcare systems.
Taylor is a good place to call home.
Housing from every price point is
available including new homes,
vintage homes and historical homes in
mature, tree-lined neighborhoods.
Taylor also is home to many beautiful,
historic churches. There is a strong
sense of community with traditional
activities like the Zest Fest each spring,
July 4th celebrations, the Taylor Rodeo,
an International Barbecue Cook-off,
and fun holiday activities.
Taylor is also a city of parks with more
than 311 acres of parkland and open
spaces including nearly 10 miles of hike
and bike trails and sidewalks. The Taylor
Regional Park and Sports Complex is a
state of the art sports facility that is
located adjacent to the East Williamson
County Event Center and draws more
than 100,000 visitors per year. All parks
are Wi-Fi accessible, too.
For outdoor enthusiasts, Lake Granger
is just a short drive away for fishing,
boating, bird watching, camping and
swimming – all of which only add to
Taylor’s unique and charming quality of
life.
