One of the most significant growth factors of modern Williamson County is the location of a new Sun City community in Georgetown.
Opened in June 1995, and originally named "Sun City Georgetown", Sun City Texas is a 5,300-acre (21-km²) age-restricted community about 10 miles (16 km) west of IH-35 on Andice Road (RR 2338).
It is part of the chain of Sun City communities started by the Del Webb Corporation (now a division of Pulte Homes).

 Residency is restricted to persons over age 55 (at least one person in a couple has to be 55 or older) and the community is generally oriented toward retirees.

As originally planned the project would double the size of Georgetown's population.
Sun City Texas is made up mostly of single-family dwellings, but also has duplexes.
The Sun City project includes three golf courses (Legacy Hills, White Wing, and Cowan Creek).

Although the community attracts residents from all over, most come from within Texas to stay close to their original homes.
Vocal opposition to the project has occurred, especially at the start during the zoning process, with arguments against the size of the community, its effect on Georgetown as a family-oriented town, concerns about the costs of providing city utilities, concern about lowered city and Williamson County property taxes, which are fixed for retirees under Texas law, and the disproportionate effect of city voting.

By and large, though, the community has been welcomed and accepted by the Georgetown populace.
In the 2008 city elections, for example, two residents of Sun City were the only candidates for mayor of Georgetown.
They also were both formerly elected city council members.
