As Georgetown, Texas, continues to rank among the fastest-growing<\/a> communities in Central Texas, M\/I Homes of Austin is investing in the city’s future with a new master-planned community designed to meet the area\u2019s housing demand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In late August, the builder broke ground on Chisholm Trails, a large-scale residential development on Georgetown\u2019s east side that will bring close to 800 homes to the area. Located in Williamson County, Georgetown continues to attract new residents because of its economic growth, quality of life and access to major employment centers throughout Central Texas.<\/p>\n

What will Chisholm Trails offer?<\/p>\n

M\/I Homes is developing the community in partnership with Taylor Morrison<\/a>, with the first phase consisting of approximately 200 lots and expected to deliver its first model home in late spring 2027. Once all four phases are completed, the development is expected to include 801 homesites.<\/p>\n

Chisholm Trails will include three plan series from M\/I Homes: Classic Series, Capital Series, and Smart 30 Series\u2014a new line of homes with floor plans perfect for new homebuyers and small families, said Alaina Latiolais, director of marketing for M\/I Homes. Chisholm Trails is planned to expand the supply of new construction homes in Georgetown, Texas.<\/p>\n

The community will also feature a 3.2-acre amenity center with a pavilion, a pool and a pocket park. Building out these spaces is an important part of M\/I Homes\u2019 approach to community planning and design, Latiolais said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rather than creating neighborhoods that simply provide housing, Latiolais said M\/I Homes aims to help residents build relationships, spend time together and establish a sense of belonging through events like holiday parties and Halloween trick-or-treating in their larger communities.<\/p>\n

\u201c[We\u2019re] creating these places for people to gather so that they can live not only in a beautiful house that’s designed for families to live and grow and change within, but also a community that they can spend time in and get to know their neighbors and kids can play with other kids in the community,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Where is Chisholm Trails going to be located?<\/p>\n

Chisholm Trails will be located in east Georgetown near SH 130, offering residents convenient access to the city\u2019s downtown, Pflugerville and Austin, and other nearby employment hubs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The area\u2019s economic growth contributed to the area’s appeal, Latiolais said, particularly in Taylor, where Samsung<\/a> is building a multibillion-dollar semiconductor plant<\/a> expected to create over 10,000 direct and indirect jobs in Central Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unlike heavily traveled corridors such as I-35, Chisholm Trails\u2019 position near SH 130 will offer easy access to those expanding job opportunities, while maintaining access to Georgetown\u2019s historic downtown.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What makes M\/I Homes stand out?<\/p>\n

M\/I Homes are built to last, with commitments to quality, care and design at the center of the homebuilding process. The company\u2019s homes are built to standards that often exceed local building codes, with a focus on energy efficiency, durability and long-term value for homeowners.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Beyond the homes themselves, M\/I Homes emphasizes creating communities in locations that offer access to jobs, recreation and everyday conveniences. Chisholm Trails will help accommodate future housing demand in the Greater Austin area\u2014a goal of M\/I Homes of Austin.<\/p>\n

The company currently builds throughout Greater Austin<\/a>, including communities in Leander, South Austin, Buda and Dripping Springs, and views Georgetown as a natural fit for continued regional expansion, citing strong local investment in the community and its vibrant downtown.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we pick a land site, we’re looking for a couple of different things,\u201d Latiolais said. \u201cWe want to think about how people and families live. Does it have access to the things that make a life? Not just a home, but a life for families across Austin. What’s exciting\u00a0 about Georgetown is the great downtown area, great community \u2026 there’s proximity to natural parks and areas to visit, and also the jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The vision is for a neighborhood where children ride bikes, families gather at community events and residents enjoy where they live.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As Georgetown continues to grow, Chisholm Trails is poised to become part of the next chapter in the city\u2019s development while helping meet the housing needs of a rapidly expanding region.<\/p>\n
