Round Rock Reviews
Rating 4.31 out of 5 429 reviews
I love this town! I live in the suburban area, There are so many things to do, we are close to lakes (Lake Travis, Lake LBJ, Lake Austin, etc) and we are close to Kalahari (The largest indoor waterpark). We also have several schools in our district that are very highly educated and diverse. The weather here is very beautiful, it can be really hot, but better than cold/icy. We are close to the malls, like the Domain and Barton Creek Mall, which have a very large selection of items compared to smaller malls. The only con I would say related to Round Rock is that there aren't many things to do that don't cost money. There aren't many pretty views, mostly flat land, or cliffs that drop to lakes. The cost of living is going up daily, and the population continues to grow. I love this town though, and I wouldn't trade growing up in it for anything.
We have lived in Round Rock for two years and our family loves it. There are so many beautiful places to enjoy the outdoors. We love how diverse our children’s elementary school is. The healthcare system has served us very well. There are lots of delicious restaurants to enjoy, especially barbecue!
There are so many thinks to do not only as a student especially in high school but also as parents. Round Rock is one of the fastest growing city’s in the entire country. There is great food of all different varieties as well as downtown Round Rock that has great restaurants. Round Rock donuts is in downtown Round Rock and they are known as the best donuts in the entire country. For the adults there is a great nightlife, with a variety of bars and restaurants as well as local bands that play at the local bars. My parents enjoy spending time out there and it is extremely safe with police on every corner. On the weekends there are different activities for the family such as market days with different items to purchase as well as a farmers market for fresh produce. During the holiday season, downtown Round Rock is always decorated beautifully not only on the streets but also on our famous water tower. Round Rock is definitely a great place to live, excellent schools and raising a family.
