Chisholm Trails is one of the newest master-planned neighborhoods on the east side of the Georgetown area. Taylor Morrison and M/I Homes broke ground in late August 2026 on roughly 218 acres along the west side of SH 130, just south of CR 105, with plans for about 800 new homes built in four phases.
If you are watching for new construction in Williamson County, this is a community to keep on your radar now. Sales are expected to begin in early 2027, the first model home is planned for late spring 2027, and the first homes should be ready late in 2027. For that reason, this guide covers what has been confirmed so far, from the builders and lot sizes to the schools, the 2026 tax rate and the drive times, and we will keep updating it as construction moves forward.
Last updated October 2026. Chisholm Trails is in the earliest stage of development, so details like pricing, floor plans, HOA dues and amenity timing have not been released yet.

Chisholm Trails Neighborhood Map
Located between SH 130 and CR 105 in eastern Williamson County, Chisholm Trails sits about 7 miles southeast of the Georgetown Square and about 9 miles north of Hutto's Co-Op District. The shaded area on the map below shows the land owned by Taylor Morrison and M/I Homes for the community, based on Williamson County parcel records.
What Does Chisholm Trails Look Like?
Right now, Chisholm Trails is open, gently rolling pasture land with a tree-lined creek running through the middle of the property, typical of the Blackland Prairie on Georgetown's east side. However, the published site plan shows how that will change. Eventually, curving streets and cul-de-sacs will fill a main section along SH 130, with a narrower section on the west side that runs north to CR 105.
Specifically, a collector road will connect the community from CR 105 through to the amenity center, and the plan includes a landscape buffer of about 30 feet along SH 130 and several detention ponds that double as open space. The plan also sets aside land for a wastewater treatment plant and a water utility site on the property. As a result, expect a newer suburban streetscape with homes of similar age and style, young landscaping in the early years, and an established older neighborhood of larger lots along Willow Drive just to the north.
Chisholm Trails Homes
Overall, Chisholm Trails will be an all new construction community of single-family homes. Here is what has been confirmed so far:
- Total Homes: About 800 (801 homesites at full build-out)
- Land Area: About 218 acres per county parcel records (reported as about 228 acres)
- Phases: Four, with about 200 homesites in Phase 1
- Lot Sizes: Taylor Morrison is starting with 40-, 45- and 50-foot lots
- Builders: Taylor Morrison and M/I Homes, about 400 homes each
- Pricing: Not released yet
- HOA Dues: Not released yet
In general, lots in the 40- to 50-foot range mean single-story and two-story plans on compact suburban lots. For example, nearby Patterson Ranch, another newer east Georgetown community, had a median sale price of about $415,000 over the past year. However, builder pricing has not been announced yet, so we will add it here as soon as it is published.

Chisholm Trails Builders
Two national builders are developing Chisholm Trails together. According to Builder magazine, Taylor Morrison ranked 6th and M/I Homes ranked 13th among U.S. home builders by 2025 closings.
Taylor Morrison
Taylor Morrison plans about 400 homes in Chisholm Trails, starting with homes on 40-, 45- and 50-foot lots. In fact, the company has said the community will be developed in phases so lot releases and home offerings can follow buyer demand, and that product offerings may be refined or expanded over the life of the community. In addition, other Taylor Morrison communities in the Austin area include Longview in Del Valle and Lisso in Pflugerville.
M/I Homes
M/I Homes of Austin also plans about 400 homes and will offer three home series in Chisholm Trails: the Classic Series, the Capital Series and the Smart 30 Series, a newer line at a lower price point. Meanwhile, the first M/I model home is expected in late spring 2027. M/I's other Austin-area communities also include Cedar Brook, Barksdale and Edgewood in Leander and Heritage in Dripping Springs.
A tip if you plan to buy new construction here: most builders require your agent to be with you, or registered, on your very first visit to the sales office or model home. In most new construction purchases, bringing your own agent costs you nothing, and it also gives you someone on your side for the contract, upgrades and inspections.
Why Do Homebuyers Choose Chisholm Trails?
- Brand new construction: Two national builders and a range of home series and lot sizes
- Highway access: Direct access to SH 130 for Round Rock, Pflugerville, Hutto, Taylor and the airport
- Georgetown ISD schools: Zoned to Williams Elementary, Wagner Middle School and East View High School
- Planned amenities: Community pool, pool house, pavilion, pocket parks and trails
- Employment growth nearby: Within about 25 minutes of Dell, Samsung Taylor and the Round Rock medical and tech corridor
- Early lot selection: Early buyers can choose from the widest selection of lots and floor plans
How's the Commute to and From Chisholm Trails?

| Hutto Co-Op District | 18 minutes | 8.9 miles |

Chisholm Trails Property Tax Rate
The property tax rate for Chisholm Trails is 2.5733% as of the 2026 tax year, the first year Williamson County MUD No. 60 has levied a tax. Also, the MUD rate of 0.95% is included in that total and pays for the water, wastewater and drainage infrastructure that serves the neighborhood. Because the community is outside the Georgetown city limits, there is no city property tax.
In addition, the Georgetown ISD portion of the rate includes a 6-cent increase that goes before voters as Proposition A on November 3, 2026. If Proposition A does not pass, the total rate for Chisholm Trails would be about 2.5133%.
Chisholm Trails HOA Dues
| Chisholm Trails HOA | Not yet released |
Dues shown as reported and deemed reliable but not guaranteed. HOA fees, special assessments, and terms can change at any time. Buyers should confirm current dues directly with the HOA or management company before making an offer.
Chisholm Trails Amenities
The site plan for Chisholm Trails includes an amenity center of a little over 3 acres near the middle of the community, with these features planned:
- Community pool and pool house
- Covered pavilion
- Pocket parks spread through the neighborhood
- Walking trails
- Green space and detention areas along the creek that runs through the property
According to the builders, the amenities will be completed in phases. As a result, we will add the confirmed location and opening date of the pool and amenity center once construction is far enough along to verify them.
Chisholm Trails Schools
Homes in Chisholm Trails are zoned to the Georgetown ISD, and students will likely attend the following schools:
- Williams Elementary - 2/10
- Wagner Middle - 4/10
- East View High - 5/10
School ratings reflect Great Schools ratings as of November 2026. Ratings are subject to change at any time. Please verify ratings and boundaries with the school district.
These assignments come from Georgetown ISD's 2026-27 attendance zone map. The Hutto ISD boundary runs along SH 130 right at the community's eastern edge, but all of the land falls inside Georgetown ISD. However, Georgetown ISD is growing quickly and expects to open a fourth high school in 2028, so these zones may change before or after the first residents move in.
School assignments can change. Always verify current attendance boundaries directly with Georgetown ISD before making a home purchase decision.
Living in Chisholm Trails
Living in Chisholm Trails will mean new construction homes with quick highway access. For instance, SH 130 runs along the eastern edge of the community, which makes it easy to reach Round Rock, Pflugerville, Hutto and the Austin airport without using I-35. In addition, Georgetown's historic Square is about 15 minutes away for restaurants, shopping and events, and Round Rock's shopping along I-35 is about 12 minutes away.
On the other hand, the area is still semi-rural today. In fact, the nearest full-size H-E-B stores are in Georgetown at Wolf Lakes Village and in Hutto at SH 130 and Gattis School Road, so expect a short drive for groceries until more retail follows the growth on this side of town. At the same time, East Williamson County is changing quickly, with Melina, a planned community of about 840 homes, under development just to the west, and Samsung's semiconductor plant in Taylor about 25 minutes away.
