The Austin metro is one of the fastest-growing regions in the United States. Williamson County (Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Leander) is the fastest-growing large county in Texas, while Hays County (Kyle, Buda) is one of the fastest-growing counties in the US. Santa Rita Ranch in Leander was the #1 fastest-growing neighborhood in the Austin metro in 2024 with 689 home starts. The good news: most suburbs have excellent internet infrastructure.
