Highland Estates Market Snapshot

The two active listings are asking $1,100,000 and $1,130,000, so the median list price is $1,115,000. That is a little above the $1,050,000 median sale price since 2022, which fits a neighborhood where the homes that sell are usually the ones priced close to the market.

Only five homes have closed in the MLS since January 2022 and one in the last 12 months, so these numbers describe specific homes rather than a trend. Active figures are from our IDX feed and the MLS as of October 22, 2026, and statistics are deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

About Highland Estates

Highland Estates was platted in June 2016 as a private subdivision of 25 lots in two blocks. The plat lists Ashby Capitol Investments as the dedicator, and Highland Estates of Georgetown, LLC recorded the deed restrictions. County records show 23 homes built so far, mostly between 2016 and 2019, and two lots without homes. Two builders appear on MLS sales: Ashby Signature Homes and Wilde Wood Construction and Development Group.

For you as a buyer, the restrictions matter as much as the house. They set minimum home sizes, require masonry exteriors and three-car garages, require approval from an Architectural Control Committee before exterior changes and limit what you can store or park where neighbors can see it. Our Highland Estates neighborhood guide walks through those rules in detail.

What Highland Estates Homes Look Like

County appraisal records put the main living area of Highland Estates homes between 2,789 and 6,055 square feet, with a median of 3,596 square feet. The homes that closed in the MLS since 2023 ran from 3,498 to 3,832 square feet and all had four bedrooms. Most homes sit near the 3,000 to 4,000 square foot range, and only two are over 5,000 square feet.

The deed restrictions require a minimum of 2,600 square feet for a one-story home and 2,800 square feet for a two-story home, so even the smallest homes are sizable. Exteriors are 100% masonry, roofs are 6/12 pitch or steeper and every home needs a three-car attached garage of at least 600 square feet with side or rear entry.

Outdoor features are common. County records list a pool on 12 of the 23 homes and an outdoor kitchen on three. Pools must be in-ground and fenced, and propane tanks must be buried. Homes use City of Georgetown water and septic systems, and Pedernales Electric Cooperative provides power.

Everyday Life in Highland Estates

Highland Estates is a quiet, gated pocket on the west side of Georgetown. Russell Park on Lake Georgetown is about 4 minutes away, which puts the lake’s trails and shoreline close to home.

Inside the gate, the rules shape daily life. There is no parking on the street, boats and RVs must be stored in enclosed structures, trash cans stay out of sight and hunting and firearm discharge are not allowed. Pets are limited to dogs and cats, up to four in total.

Highland Estates Schools

Homes in Highland Estates are zoned to Georgetown ISD: Ford Elementary, Benold Middle School and Georgetown High School, based on the district’s own 2026-27 SchoolSearch address lookup. Boundaries and ratings can change, so verify the zoning for the exact address with the district before you make an offer. Current ratings are on our Highland Estates neighborhood guide.

Market Perspective Since 2022

Since January 2022, five homes in Highland Estates have closed in the MLS, with a median sale price of $1,050,000 and a range from $875,000 to $1,430,000. The median sold home was 3,719 square feet at about $274 per square foot, and homes took a median of 39 days to sell at 96% of list price.

Those figures describe a handful of specific homes, so treat them as reference points rather than a trend. A neighborhood with 25 lots will always have only a few sales in a year, and some years have none. Pair this page with the monthly Austin real estate price report to see how the wider market is moving.

Highland Estates Sales by Year

In 2023, two homes closed from $875,000 to $1,000,000. In 2024, two closed from $1,050,000 to $1,100,000, and the median rose 14.7% over 2023; with only two sales a year, that reflects the specific homes sold more than a market-wide move. The 2026 sale is the highest in the dataset at $1,430,000. Source: Unlock MLS, January 2022 through October 22, 2026. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Compare Highland Estates With Nearby Neighborhoods

Estates of Westlake and the Woods are also on the west side of Georgetown, and each has its own homes for sale page: Estates of Westlake homes for sale and Woods homes for sale.

For a wider look at higher-priced homes in the city, see our Georgetown luxury neighborhood guide. Lot size, HOA dues, tax rate, school zoning and distance to the Square all differ from one neighborhood to the next, so compare them side by side rather than by price alone.

Is Now a Good Time to Buy in Highland Estates?

Highland Estates has only two homes for sale, so selection is the main limit, not competition. Here is what the MLS shows about timing.

Both active homes have been on the market for about two to three months, and one has already had a price reduction. Rebecca can pull the current price history on any home you like so you know how much room there may be to negotiate.

Costs Beyond the Price

The property tax rate in Georgetown’s Highland Estates is 1.5556% as of the 2025 tax year, up from 1.5512% in 2024. Highland Estates does not have a MUD or PID, and the neighborhood is outside Georgetown city limits, so there is no city tax.

Annual HOA dues to the Highland Estates POA are $950 per year. Homes use City of Georgetown water and private septic systems, with electric service from Pedernales Electric Cooperative, so budget for septic maintenance. Property tax rates for the 2026 tax year may change after the November 3, 2026 Georgetown ISD tax rate election.

How to Buy a Home in Highland Estates

Buying in a small gated neighborhood moves a little differently from buying in a large subdivision. These steps keep it simple.

1. Get your financing in place. Jumbo loans are common at these prices, so talk to a lender early.
2. Set up a search so new listings reach you the day they hit the MLS.
3. Tour the homes and check the lot, the septic, the pool if there is one and the view.
4. Write an offer. Rebecca will pull recent sales to help you price it.
5. Complete inspections, appraisal and financing, then close.

What to Check Before You Write an Offer

Before you write an offer in Highland Estates, here is what the recorded documents say, so you can plan around it.

• Exterior changes, fences, outbuildings and pools need Architectural Control Committee approval under the recorded deed restrictions.
• Homes must be at least 2,600 square feet for one story or 2,800 square feet for two stories, with 100% masonry exteriors and a three-car garage.
• There is no street parking, and boats, RVs and trailers must be stored out of sight.
• Annual dues are $950 and are paid to the Highland Estates POA.
• Homes are on septic, so request the septic records and inspection as part of due diligence.
• Verify school zoning for the exact address with Georgetown ISD.
