Check out Bastrop, Texas!

Established in 1832, Bastrop has a rich heritage. In her early years she was the meeting ground for Tonkawa and other Southwestern Indians. In 1821 Stephen F. Austin came through here and decided to establish a settlement on the Colorado River. The city is named for Philip Hendrick Nering-Bogel, the Baron de Bastrop. He interceded with the Mexican governor to allow Austin to bring settlers here. In 1827 Austin received a grant for the colony at Bastrop.

Come by our office, the only national real estate company in Bastrop County. Shop historical downtown Bastrop for arts and crafts and antiques. We have over 130 historic homes. Play one of the 3 beautiful 18 hole golf courses.

Today Bastrop's historical features are very prevalent downtown. The old iron bridge is celebrated every year in a big festival. The old iron bridge has now been paralleled with a new bridge which is wider and easier for vehicular travel. Crossing these bridges, from the hustle and bustle of Hwy 71, brings you into the historical downtown area where antiques, arts & crafts, books, gifts, the Olde Dime Store's candy counter, Lock Drugs Store's vintage ice cream parlor and the famous Old Opera House are there to delight residents and visitors alike. Surrounding the downtown area are 130 historic homes, the new river walk with a city park on each end. Further out, you'll find lakes for fishing, 2 state parks and three 18 hole golf courses. We also have a myriad of sports and cultural programs for youth and many lovely churches. With the river running through our community Bastrop has beautiful trees soaring to tremendous heights for everyone's enjoyment.

In the last few years there has been an amazing amount of growth. Some of the businesses include HEB's Super Store (now with a drive through pharmacy), Wal-Mart's Supercenter, Tractor Supply Company TSC, Owl's Western Wear, Pay-Less Shoes, Beall's clothing store, Chabot's Mostly Italian Restaurant, Wendy's, Schlotzchy's, Taco Bell, Block Buster Video, Radio Shack and of course we have a Dairy Queen and a McDonald's plus many, many more. You won't be at a loss to find good food here.

Beautiful Bastrop is being hailed as the Heart of the Colorado. Located only 30 miles SE of Austin, our state capitol, and 20 miles SE of the new international airport, you get the best of both worlds here.

"We have commuter-friendly skies. If you commute to Austin 8-5, the sun won't be in your eyes. Come see us soon."

Time to Move >Housing Considerations The impending arrival of a new baby is an important catalyst for many couples to plan a move. You may need more space or prefer a larger yard or a street with less traffic. Having a baby represents a profound change in life. Your thoughts about housing suddenly begin to include considerations about schools, neighborhood playgrounds, and other families with young children. If you plan to enlarge your family in the near future, it is a good idea to assess your real estate needs early in the planning stage. If you have a condominium or smaller house which you have to sell in order to buy a new home, talk to us about placing your current home on the market now. It could take a while for it to close, even if we find buyers relatively quickly. Most real estate agents have stories of closing attorneys bringing paperwork to the maternity ward. While this may provide witty repartee for the agent, it is not a lot of fun for the new parents trying to work out the last minute details of a major move when the baby is about to arrive.
