Talk to a Specialist →Del Webb at Sweetwater is the newest Del Webb 55+ community in the Austin metro — built in the Bee Cave / Lakeway corridor of western Travis County, approximately 15–20 miles from downtown Austin. Where Sun City Texas puts buyers 30 miles north in Georgetown, Sweetwater puts them 20 miles west, with direct access to the US-71/Southwest Parkway corridor and much shorter drives to both the airport and central Austin.
As an active-construction community, Sweetwater offers the full Del Webb new-construction experience — customizable floor plans, modern finishes, builder warranties — without the 25-year home aging reality of Sun City Georgetown's older resale inventory. HOA fees and amenity details are still being established; always verify current rates directly with the sales office before purchasing.

Western Travis County has distinct advantages over Georgetown for buyers who need frequent Austin access. The drive to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport from Sweetwater is approximately 35–45 minutes via SH-71 — comparable to Georgetown via I-35 on a good traffic day, but significantly better than Georgetown during Austin's notoriously bad rush-hour I-35 congestion. Buyers who travel frequently or have family commitments requiring regular airport trips often find the western corridor meaningfully more practical.
Travis County property taxes are slightly higher than Williamson County (Georgetown) — approximately 0.1–0.2% higher effective rate. On a $500K home that is $500–$1,000/year more in property taxes. Factor this into the comparison against Sun City Georgetown.
