I like Round Rock because the people are friendly. I grew up here my whole life and I loved my high school. The community welcomes and support people with different cultural /diversity backgrounds. The community does great at celebrating everyone! They just celebrated
first time pride month festival. The affordability needs work the housing and living expenses are getting expensive. I know a lot of people moving out to live their family or moving up to north part of Texas.
Start Your Review of Round Rock
I've lived in Round Rock nearly my entire life and I've loved it. I've made so many amazing friends over the years, attended wonderful schools, and lived in a great neighborhood. We're right next to the city of Austin, and downtown Round Rock is also a great place to visit. I've spent multiple nights throughout high school studying at the public library and going out to dinner at their lovely
restaurants. Downtown is especially great during the holidays, when they put up this huge Christmas tree and hang lights everywhere. I think Round Rock is a great place to live and I'm so happy I've grown up here.
It is very nearby to many big and upcoming areas like Austin, Georgetown,
Pflugerville, and Hutto. There is so much to do with city wide events, baseball games at the Dell Diamond, and America’s largest indoor water park resort, Kalahari!
