Except Georgetown's downtown is very walkable, block after block, north to south, east to west. Heck, Taylor has more of a distinguishable downtown than Pflugerville or Round Rock. Neither of those two cities really have a destination downtown. If they didn't have water towers with the names of the towns on them, you might think you're still in the burbs of Austin. In over 30 years living here, I have never wanted to visit downtown Round Rock or Pflugerville. I have however, checked out Georgetown, many times, San Marcos, and Taylor. Also Fredricksburg, Lockhart, and even Luling and Bastrop.
