Wimberley, Texas is a diverse community that hosts a number of families from a variety of backgrounds who have gravitated to the community for a number of reasons. Young families tend to purchase Wimberley homes in the area in order to commute to the bigger cities, but prefer to raise families in a less busy and population dense atmosphere. Retirees purchase Wimberley homes in order to enjoy their golden years in the relaxed, hometown environment that Wimberley offers. Many other people custom build their own Wimberley homes as vacation spots with access to nearby local outdoor resorts, ranches, lakes and other attractions. Life in Wimberley tends to have something to offer everyone.
Community life is not just centered on vacation sites, however, as a full and thriving town with a full range of sporting events, clubs, organizations, shopping, city events and local theater. There are plenty of opportunities for residents to engage in camping activities such as hiking, fishing, swimming, and boating. The hill country is well known for its unspoiled beauty, and that continues to be a draw for people who are seeking a simpler and quieter lifestyle and a place with a slower pace, but still with exciting things to do, to make a vacation home or a permanent place to lay one’s head.
Although Wimberley has been around for a while (people have lived in the area for hundreds of years, as can be attested to by the 150 year old Wimberley House which hosts an annual pie contest), it was formally incorporated in 2000. More than a decade later, it remains a prosperous hideaway for both settlers and people seeking vacation residences. Located about thirty miles southwest of Austin, and nearly fifty miles north of San Antonio, the town is located in a perfect location for Texas tourism. Local merchants and residents enjoy Market Day every first Saturday of the month with tourists who are passing through, which is a chance for locals to ply their wares, selling everything from antiques to home-made peanuts or plants.
After moving in and settling down, residents continue to express satisfaction with the pleasant hill country life in and around Wimberley. Often, it is a chance to build a dream home in one of the best communities in the country, and many families, whether young professionals, aging hippies or older retirees, will use it to custom build a house that satisfies their own personal preferences and needs. The diverse mix of residents all seem to agree that Wimberley pays off for those who invest their lives there.
