About
Living in Hays
The Hays County area encompasses the scenic Hill Country communities between Austin and San Marcos, offering a rural lifestyle with access to some of the region's most beautiful natural landscapes. Rolling hills, spring-fed rivers, and wide-open spaces define the character of this growing area.
Residents enjoy the best of both worlds — peaceful country living within reach of Austin's job market and amenities. The area is served by Hays CISD schools and benefits from the region's overall growth while maintaining lower density and a more relaxed pace of life than the urban core.

Angie's Guide to Hays
The broader Hays County area outside of Buda, Kyle, and Wimberley is where my clients go when they want the Hill Country look and feel at a price that has not caught up to the western suburbs yet. It is still possible to find acreage here with views that rival Dripping Springs, and the growth along the I-35 corridor is bringing amenities closer every year.
