Once again, Georgetown has made the headlines!
This time we're #2 on Money.CNN.com's list of "100 Best Places to Live and Launch". What does that mean? It means we're a great place, not only to live, but to start a business.
It touts a business-friendly tax structure, entrepreneurial camaraderie, low utility prices, and scenic spaces as reasons that Georgetown tops the list.
For its cons, it advertises higher housing costs. Here's my take on it:
Although there are areas in Georgetown that have high-priced homes, there are still plenty of available and affordable homes (under $150k). According to the Williamson County Assoc. of Realtors, in 2007, The average home price in Georgetown East was $136,200 and $218,000 in Georgetown West. With those statistics, and knowing the local housing market, I think this article overstates that Georgetown's current housing cost is high. But if that's the worst they can come up with, I think that's pretty great.
Way to go Georgetown!
