3.) Williamson County is the 2^nd fastest growing county in Texas (Rockwall County is number one) according to the U.S. Census Bureau estimates released in March 2010.  WilliamsonCounty has been growing at a fast rate for several years now because of its location just north of Austin. In fact, parts of Austin's city limits extend into southern Williamson County. Most of the growth has been residential with large companies, such as Dell, increasing the housing market opportunities for many REALTORS®.
