Located in Williamson County
The small Central Texas city of Bartlett, population 1,700, is the kind of place where schools and churches are the most noticeable buildings and the entire community is surrounded by farmland. However, residents enjoy relative proximity to several larger cities that are regional employment centers.
The community’s mostly older housing stock comes in a variety of sizes and styles. Large Victorians stand out among the offerings, which sit on quiet, narrow streets. Other notable styles include bungalow, farmhouse and ranch. “There’s no new development, but there’s a lot of historic homes on large lots,” says Syrissa Dominguez of The Real Estate Social, LLC, who has sold homes in the community. Prices typically range from the mid-$100,000s to the high $200,000s. “It’s very affordable to live in Bartlett,” Dominguez says. Nearly 80 percent of residents own their homes.
The Bartlett Independent School District is made up of an elementary school and a middle/high school on the same campus. The district recently spent $20 million on upgrades that included a new football field, which is the center of community activity on Friday nights in the fall. The Bartlett High Bulldogs have not fared as well of late in Class 2A, but the football program’s storied history includes three Class 1A state titles in the 1990s. Students can apply for transfers out of the district, but approvals depend on availability and other factors.
Farming and a handful of businesses along the Texas State Highway 95 corridor support the local economy. But residents who do not work in and around town can commute to larger cities for work. Dominguez says a lot of Bartlett residents work in Taylor, about 15 miles away and easily accessible via Highway 95. A Samsung semiconductor manufacturing plant is expected to open in Taylor in the first half of 2026.
Other regional employment destinations include:
Residents can stock up on essentials and grab a quick bite at Bartlett Red & White Grocery and gather with friends at nearby Bartlett Sports Bar. Steglich Feed & Farm Supply and multiple dollar stores are conveniently located in the community along Highway 95. Travel is required for more shopping and most dining. “Taylor has an H-E-B and a Walmart,” Dominguez says.
Bartlett has a community park with a playground and a seasonal pool near the schools campus. But similar to shopping and dining, recreation often requires travel. Luckily, several waterways provide boating, fishing and trails. “Granger Lake is really close to Bartlett, like minutes away,” Dominguez says. Lake Georgetown, Stillhouse Hollow Lake and Belton Lake are other popular regional destinations.
