Round Rock
Round Rock is on I-35 just 15 minutes north of downtown Austin and 20 miles from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Round Rock's pro-business climate, supportive city government and industry partnerships make it a perfect place for companies to call home.
A leader in industry and commerce
The city's property tax and utility rates are among the lowest in Texas. And Round Rock has a proven track record for getting companies located and producing product in record time—a fact appreciated by Dell Inc., the world’s largest producer of personal computers, with its corporate offices and assembly operations in Round Rock.
Focused on education and quality life style
The Round Rock Independent School District is one of the state's best with a number of exemplary and blue ribbon schools. This is a community that plays host to a year-round calendar of amateur and recreational sports, from soccer tournaments to track meets. The popular AA Minor League Baseball team, the Round Rock Express, attracts fans from all over Central Texas to the modern Dell Diamond complex. With 34 parks, four golf courses and three area lakes, you could say there’s never a dull moment in Round Rock.
