About Hutto
Hutto, known affectionately as "Hippo Town" after its beloved concrete hippo mascot, has grown from a small agricultural community into a thriving suburb northeast of Austin. The city's affordable home prices and family-friendly atmosphere have attracted waves of new residents.
Major home builders have established significant presence in Hutto, offering new construction at prices that make homeownership accessible for many first-time buyers priced out of closer-in Austin suburbs. Hutto ISD has invested in new schools to keep pace with growth.
The city's strategic location near the intersection of US 79 and SH 130 provides convenient access to major employment centers in Round Rock and Austin. Continued commercial development, including new retail and dining options, is reducing the suburb's dependence on neighboring cities.
