Round Rock Recognized as One of America’s Safest Cities for 2025

Exciting news for Round Rock residents! According to a recent study, Round Rock has been declared the 26th safest city in America for 2025 by MoneyGeek, a personal finance advisory group. This ranking is based on the cost of crime evaluated in dollars per resident, showcasing the city’s commitment to creating a secure community for its residents.

Staying Safe and Sound

While Round Rock celebrates this safety milestone, Texans are being warned about an issue that could affect the broader state. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has sounded the alarm regarding the New World Screwworm (NWS) impacting animals near the southern border. Residents are urged to be vigilant and report any signs of this parasitic invasion to help protect local wildlife.

The Changing Face of Austin’s Restaurant Scene

Events You Won’t Want to Miss!

As if that’s not enough, Austin’s iconic Antone’s blues club is gearing up to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2025! The club is rolling out the red carpet with a series of special events, including the release of a box set that features rare and new material from its rich musical history. Additionally, Antone’s plans to open a new satellite location at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and a dedicated blues museum highlighting treasured items donated by music legends. The main anniversary bash will take place on July 15, 2025, which coincides with the club’s very first gig back in 1975!

Parking Perks for New Year’s Eve

As the year’s end approaches, Austinites will be delighted to know that parking tickets can be dismissed for those who take responsible rides home on New Year’s Eve. It’s a fantastic way to celebrate while keeping safety in mind!

Round Rock’s Livability and Residential Appeal

Livability LivScore of 807 out of 1000. Key factors contributing to this impressive ranking include a commendable economic rating of 74/100, a strong environmental score of 82/100, and a housing cost metric at 75/100. The average home valuation in this family-friendly city stands at approximately $367,000, with property taxes averaging about $3,400.

Outdoor Activities in the Sun

Round Rock enjoys plenty of sunny days, approximately 63% of the year, making it a great spot for those who love outdoor activities. While the city’s lowest scores in the Livability ranking fell in safety (56/100), amenities (58/100), and transportation (62/100), its overall livability makes it a desirable place to call home. Plus, with other Texas cities like Frisco, Lubbock, Abilene, Tyler, and Sugar Land also making it to the Livability’s 2024 list, it’s clear that Texas is booming with great living options.
