San Marcos

Considered the gateway to the Texas Hill Country, San Marcos is located on the Interstate 35 corridor between Austin and San Antonio. This charming, culturally vibrant community hosts a wide range of activities. Business, industry, education, retail, and government make up the backbone of the San Marcos economy. The San Marcos Springs, fed by the Edwards Aquifer, are the second largest collection of springs in Texas which flow through Texas State University and San Marcos proper. Listed in the 2010 BusinessWeek's fourth annual survey as one of the best places to raise your kids, San Marcos is great.
