Burnet sits in the Texas Hill Country, about 50 miles northwest of Austin and 90 miles north of San Antonio, and it works as a gateway to the rest of the Highland Lakes region. I work this market along with Marble Falls, Horseshoe Bay, and the rest of the Highland Lakes, so I can tell you how Burnet compares if you’re cross-shopping the area.
The historic downtown area is built around Burnet’s town square, with older homes within walking distance of local shops and restaurants. Buyers who want more space typically look at the subdivisions on the town’s outskirts, which tend to have larger lots and newer construction. Burnet County itself covers a lot of ground beyond the city, and most of it is what draws people here in the first place — rolling hills, scenic waterways, and small surrounding communities.
Parks and recreation
Hamilton Creek Park has a gazebo, pavilion, picnic areas, a playground, and walking paths. Haley-Nelson Park adds an amphitheater, disc golf, soccer fields, and trails. Beyond the city’s own parks, the Highland Lakes are close enough for boating, fishing, and swimming, and there are golf courses in the area for buyers who want that as part of the lifestyle.
Working with me in Burnet
Burnet is a smaller market than Austin, which means inventory can be limited at any given time — I’ll tell you honestly if I think it’s worth waiting on the right listing versus widening the search to nearby Highland Lakes towns. Reach out and I can walk you through what’s currently on the market.
