Lived here for 3 years User Rating 4 rating By tommy61157 ( Dec 24, 2023) I lived here for 3 years while saving up to get a house in another town. This town is safe and alright overall and you can definitely commute to Austin from here, but it is growing way too fast and is causing the town to be a bit awkward and not have things you would expect from ...Read More a town of this size. Also, due to all the transplants, doesn't feel very Texan. That all being said though, I can definitely recommend moving here if you have to work in Austin since it's more affordable and you still get a smaller town feel here while still having the resources of Williamson County, though the sprawling effect is still felt here, I recommend checking it out yourself, but overall, pretty good. They are recently putting more money into the schools lately as well. Read Less
Cannot Recommend Jarrell User Rating 1.5 rating By Anonymous ( Mar 09, 2020) We moved here to retire. You know, get your little slice of heaven. Well, little did we know that Williamson County leaves a lot of land unrestricted which means you can buy your dream home and someone can buy the unrestricted property behind you and build a car wash, trash dump ...Read More or quarry. It seems that the city of Jarrell and Williamson county cater more to corporations than residents. Sadly, Texas is moving in the direction of money leading the way. After we moved in, a rock crushing quarry opened up literally within a half mile. Now we are kept up at all hours of the night, our home inside and out is covered in dust, our pool is unusable unless we vacuum it every single day because of the dust settling in it, our patio furniture has to be washed every week, our house has to be sprayed down 1 or 2 times a month. We had to hire a maid service to keep up with the cleaning inside because of the amount of dust. And the roads are horrible. Some of the back roads on the west side of Jarrell have pot holes that could swallow a small vehicle, or at least knock your vehicle out of alignment if you weren't able to dodge the holes. The roads are covered in debris. And the quarries are allowed, by permission from the great state of Texas, to run 24/7 without any concern to the peace and quiet of existing resident neighbors. Our health has deteriorated. Our property value has gone down, and our dream of a quiet peaceful slice of heaven has gone up in dust. Texas and it seems Williamson county in particular, seem to cater to these quarries. I cannot in good conscience recommend anyone move here. If you're looking for a cookie cutter home with no property, you can buy cheaply on the east side of 35 but from what I'm told the houses were cheaply made and already falling apart. Take a drive on 487 from 35 toward Florence over to 195 and see for yourself. You'll see the gorgeous views of rock and sand piles and hopefully you won't end up with a broken windshield like many of us. Heck, even our dog has developed allergies because of the poor air quality. A big thanks to Jarrell, Williamson county and good ol Texas for putting your residents, your voters, first! Read Less
