"Looking like he just stepped out of the old west with a trademark mustache and a twinkle in his eye, David Patrick Dunn personifies Texas." - ReverbNation on local Jollyville musician and host of Jollyville City Limits at BB Rovers Cafe and Pub
Located in North Austin, Jollyville has grown from a small community of 20 families in 1960 to a census-designated place with 16,151 people currently calling the area home. That is quite a population boom within a relatively short period of time! Part of the reason for the surge is because of its close proximity to Austin, TX (about 20 miles to the southeast). Nestled in the hill country of Travis and Williamson counties, Jollyville is filled with spruce, cedar and juniper trees that give the area a gorgeous scent as well as that rugged look Texas is known for. Jollyville is a haven for everyone seeking to live the hill country lifestyle. It feels secluded but has everything you need or want close by. You are far enough away from the lights of of Austin to actually enjoy the canopy of the Milky Way on a clear night, which is really just visually stunning if you haven't witnessed it! Heck, even if you have it is still a kicker to the happy bone every time!
If you have decided to take the plunge and move close to the Capital of Texas, Jollyville is the right place to settle! To start your search, you should have an itemized list of what you need from your new home
