Travena is a new master-planned community in northeast Georgetown, Texas, along County Road 140 between Georgetown and the small town of Weir. Meritage Homes runs the welcome center at 405 Emberwood Drive, Georgetown, TX 78626, though some home listings use the Weir ZIP code, 78674.

Travena is served by Georgetown ISD, sits in a municipal utility district (MUD), and its amenity center is still being developed.

What Does the Neighborhood Look Like?
Right now, Travena looks like what it is: the first phase of a large new community. The welcome center and the first homes sit along streets such as Emberwood Drive and Woodbrook Drive, with homes in every stage of construction. Road, drainage, and accessibility work for "The Vantage" Phases 1 and 2 was filed with the state in 2025, and an internal road called Adelaide Drive was part of that work.
The homes are a mix of one-story and two-story designs on smaller suburban lots, with brand-new landscaping. The surrounding area along CR 140 is still largely open, rural land, which is part of the appeal and part of the trade-off. The Travena website describes the setting as rolling hills and calls the community a "village on a hill."
Travena Homes
Every home in Travena is new construction. As of October 2026, Meritage Homes offers 12 floor plans across two collections, ranging from 1,240 to 2,812 square feet with 3 to 5 bedrooms. Plans include single-story and two-story designs.
- Americana Collection: 1,240 to 2,021 sq ft, 3 to 4 bedrooms, priced from $299,990
- Reserve Collection: 1,477 to 2,812 sq ft, 3 to 5 bedrooms, priced from $357,990
Recent move-in-ready examples give you a sense of real pricing:
- 133 Woodbrook Dr (Americana, The Lassen): 1,872 sq ft, 3 bed, 2.5 bath, listed at $321,990
- 124 Woodbrook Dr (Reserve, The Matador): 2,334 sq ft, 4 bed, 2.5 bath, listed at $374,990

A 1,477-square-foot Reserve home at 144 Woodbrook Dr was listed on a 0.15-acre lot, which gives you an idea of homesite size in the current section. Meritage was also running a sales event through October 15, 2026, with below-market rates and up to $10,000 in closing costs (terms apply).

What's It Like Living in Travena?
Travena gives you a country-road setting that's still about 15 minutes from downtown Georgetown, according to Meritage. Weir, with its small-town main street, is just to the east, and State Highway 130 is close by for trips south toward Round Rock, Pflugerville, and the airport.
Daily errands mean a drive. The closest established shopping and dining is along East University Avenue and around I-35 and the Rivery, roughly 10 to 15 minutes away, and the downtown Square is about the same. If you like being close to open space, Berry Springs Park & Preserve is only a few minutes west.
Because Travena is early in its buildout, plan on years of active construction, new phases, and amenities opening over time.
Travena Amenities
Travena's amenities are planned and in development. The community website notes that its images are artist renderings and that features are subject to change, and none of the amenities were confirmed as open as of October 2026.
Meritage Homes lists these community amenities for Travena:
- Resort-style pool
- Fishing pond
- Pickleball and half basketball courts
- Playground and play lawn
- Walking trails
- Basic cable and high-speed internet
The Travena website adds a clubhouse pavilion with a fire pit, a splash pad at the pool, tennis courts, a sports field and playground, dog parks, and a golf simulator, along with 80 acres of green space. Ask the developer or builder for a written amenity schedule, since timing depends on how quickly the community sells.
Why Do Home Buyers Choose Travena?
- New construction priced from $299,990
- Two Meritage collections with 12 floor plans from 1,240 to 2,812 square feet
- Move-in-ready homes available now, plus build options
- Georgetown ISD schools
- Planned amenities including a resort-style pool, fishing pond, sports courts, playground, and trails
- High-speed internet included as an HOA benefit, per the community
- Quick access to SH 130 and about 15 minutes to downtown Georgetown
How's the Commute to and From Travena?
All times below are approximate, normal traffic:
- Downtown Georgetown (the Square): About 15 minutes
- Wolf Ranch Town Center: 20 to 25 minutes
- Round Rock (Dell campus / La Frontera area): 20 to 30 minutes
- Samsung's Taylor campus: 25 to 30 minutes
- The Domain: 35 to 40 minutes
- Downtown Austin: 40 to 50 minutes
- Austin-Bergstrom International Airport: 40 to 50 minutes (via SH 130)
For trips into Austin, most routes run down SH 130 or I-35. SH 130 is a toll road, so factor tolls into your commute costs.
Travena Property Tax Rate
The property tax rate in Georgetown's Travena neighborhood is about 1.56% as of the 2025 tax year, before the MUD. For the 2026 tax year, Georgetown ISD voters turned down Proposition A on November 3, 2026, setting the school district rate at $1.0206 per $100 of value. Travena is in a municipal utility district (MUD), listed in appraisal records as Williamson County MUD 103, and its rate did not appear in the county's 2025 rate table, so ask the builder for the current MUD rate in writing before you sign.
Travena HOA Dues
| Travena HOA | $135 / monthly |
The community website says high-speed internet is included as an HOA benefit. 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.
Travena Schools
Homes in Travena are zoned to Georgetown ISD, and students will likely attend the following schools:
- Cooper Elementary - 4/10
- Forbes Middle - 5/10
- Georgetown High - 7/10
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.
School assignments can change. Always verify current attendance boundaries directly with Georgetown ISD before making a home purchase decision.
These are the campuses Meritage Homes and a current MLS listing in Travena show for the community. Some other websites list different schools, so it's worth checking your exact address with Georgetown ISD's SchoolSearch tool.
Rezoning is also coming. Georgetown ISD is building Ames Elementary and S.C. Marshall Middle School near East View High School, and both are now scheduled to open for the 2027-2028 school year. Earlier district proposals moved some Cooper Elementary and Forbes Middle students to those new campuses, so Travena's assignments could change once those schools open. Meritage also says an onsite elementary school is planned within Travena, but Georgetown ISD has not announced a campus there.
