Take the "A" Train

After many years of discussion, the plans are finally in the making to create a major commuter train line. This train will run the length of the Austin-San Marcos-San Antonio corridor. This is expected to bring in new residents from both cities, as well as enrich the community in many ways.

Another indicator of growth (and therefore raised property values) is the planning of a new 150 million dollar medical, office, and retail center. The San Marcos Town Center will feature not only private offices and high-end retail stores, but also a beautiful "great lawn" for pedestrian enjoyment.
