Modern Texas living with some prehistoric history
The town of Florence, Texas, was officially established in 1857 when the town’s post office was built. However, archaeological excavations in the area have found that people were, in fact, living in the area 18,000 years ago, far longer than most archaeologists believed that people were living in the Americas. The excavation site that revealed this startling discovery is known as the Gault Site and sits within the boundaries of Florence. But there’s a lot more to this small Texas town located just over 10 miles northwest of Georgetown and 40 miles north of Austin. Offering residents easy access to Highway 195, Florence’s location provides easy commuting to Killeen to the north or Austin to the south. At the same time, though, the area combines a rural feel with nearby amenities, allowing residents to bask in the relaxation that comes with country living while still being able to easily access urban conveniences. “The typical buyers in Florence are families with someone working in Georgetown or Austin,” says Robert Chambers, owner of Chambers & Co. Your Realty, who has been representing sales in the area for over two decades. “You can get to Austin in 45 minutes and Georgetown in 10, so it’s not a bad commute at all.”
Florence, TX. was settled in the 1850's and was originally called Brooksville.

Houses with open space
The median price of real estate in Florence is $650,000, and buyers should expect to pay an average of $350 per square foot, though prices tend to be lower in the center of town, where a three-bedroom/two-bathroom manufactured home can sell for around $170,000. But further out, it’s all about the open space. “One of the appeals of Florence is that buyers can get a lot of land. So the prices can be a little higher than other places, but you’re getting a lot of land with your house in most cases,” says Chambers. As an illustration of that, a one-bedroom/one-bathroom Craftsman-style home that sells for $350,000 sits on more than an acre of land. A luxurious four-bedroom/five-bathroom ranch-style home with an in-ground pool can fetch upwards of $3.2 million, but the lot size is more than 20 acres.
