Market Data
|
Surrounded by rolling hills and wildflower fields in Fayette County, Round Top is best known for its triannual antiques show and fair. But for most of the year, this small town prides itself for its down-home Southern hospitality and relaxed pace of life. No wonder many people would like to snap their own piece of Round Top, TX real estate.
SMALL TOWN, BIG HEART
Round Top only covers less than a square mile, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for its tight-knit community and sense of belonging. Here, front-porch conversations flow as easily as the sweet tea, and where the gentle clip-clop of horseshoes against pavement might be the loudest sound you hear all day.
While Round Top delights in its rural atmosphere, it’s far from isolated. It’s conveniently tucked between two major Texan metropolises: Austin to the west and Houston on the opposite side. Whichever direction you choose to go, the drive takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes via US-290. Both cities are home to two international airports: Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
A brief history of Round Top
Round Top’s roots stretch back to the mid-1800s, when its fertile lands drew settlers eager for a fresh start. Like many towns in Fayette County, the town’s original settlers were primarily English families seeking new opportunities. It was Round Top’s German immigrants, however, that left an enduring mark on the town’s character, from its architecture to traditions.
As for the town’s name, its origins can be traced to the former post office: a unique structure adorned with a distinctive round cupola– a beacon for those passing through. As the story goes, stagecoach drivers used to call out “Round Top, next stop!” The nickname stuck, eventually becoming the town’s official name. Round Top was eventually incorporated in 1870.
One can still find remnants of Round Top’s bustling past along Henkel Square, where historic buildings like the renowned Rummel Haus serve as a reminder of the town’s role as a trade center. You can envision the clatter of horse-drawn wagons along its once dusty streets, carrying goods and those seeking prosperity on the Texas frontier. Truly, Round Top holds the stories of pioneers, merchants, and the enduring spirit of generations who shaped this captivating corner of Texas.
Today, Round Top is the year-round home of just over 110 individuals. The local population, however, swells during the popular Antiques Shows. Countless more weekenders and investors also stay in town throughout the year. But whether you’ve lived here your whole life or are just discovering its magic, there’s an undeniable sense of “belonging” in Round Top. Homes for sale in this part of Texas are spaces for genuine connection, and newcomers are always welcomed warmly as old friends.
