About

Living in Johnson City

Johnson City is the Blanco County seat and the boyhood hometown of President Lyndon B. Johnson, situated in the scenic Pedernales River valley of the Hill Country. The town has preserved its presidential heritage while developing a vibrant Main Street with restaurants, tasting rooms, and local shops.

The LBJ Ranch National Historical Park, Pedernales Falls State Park, and the emerging wine and craft beverage scene make Johnson City both a tourist destination and an increasingly attractive place to live. The town offers a slower pace with real amenities — a rarity in the Hill Country.

Why Johnson City?

  • Presidential heritage — LBJ boyhood home and ranch
  • Pedernales Falls State Park
  • Growing wine and craft beverage scene
  • Scenic Pedernales River valley setting

Angie's Guide to Johnson City

Johnson City is the Hill Country town I point clients to when Fredericksburg feels too expensive and too touristy. You get the same gorgeous Pedernales River valley, a great little Main Street, and Pedernales Falls is right there. The real estate is more accessible, and the town has a genuine community feel that the bigger destinations sometimes lose.
