Approximately 12 miles north of Georgetown, the small Texas town of Jarrell blends rustic charm with Southern hospitality. With an unhurried pace, Jarrell’s wide open spaces characterize the landscape, with neatly manicured lawns and eclectic homes dotting the horizon. The town's architecture pays homage to its rich history, while new developments integrate contemporary design elements. The town has a population of just over 1,500 people, but it's growing rapidly, and it's big enough to have a grocery store, pharmacy, several restaurants, a public library and a community center. “Jarrell is the type of place where people take their time getting to where they want to go because there really is no hurry,” says Monty Johnson of Johnson Realty. “The atmosphere is laid-back and the residents are easy-going and welcoming.” People here value education, and the schools are known for fostering a nurturing environment. Quaint boutiques line the streets, offering handmade crafts and locally sourced goods. But the heartbeat of Jarrell, Johnson says, lies in its strong sense of community. Whether it's a town fair, high school football game or farmer's market, the community vibe in Jarrell is one of camaraderie and shared pride.
