Moving to a new place is a major decision, especially when it involves uprooting from familiar surroundings and embarking on a fresh start. For these families, Wolf Ranch in Georgetown, TX, offered the perfect blend of community spirit, natural beauty, and family-friendly amenities that made it an ideal choice for their new home.
From California Sunshine to Texas Hospitality
Jeff and Ellie’s journey to Wolf Ranch began with a series of life changes and a desire for a new adventure. Jeff grew up in the Chicagoland area, experiencing the harsh winters of the Midwest before heading to sunny southern California for college. After spending seven years in California, Jeff and Ellie, who was born and raised in southern California, decided to relocate to Texas in 2018 in search of a more balanced lifestyle.
“We found Wolf Ranch through Zillow and always found ourselves touring different residential areas on the weekends,” Jeff recalls. The couple’s weekends were often spent exploring various neighborhoods, but it was Wolf Ranch that truly captured their hearts.
Discovering the Perfect Home
In 2019, Jeff and Ellie made the move to the Hilltop section of Wolf Ranch and later transitioned to South Fork in late 2022. Their decision to stay within the community speaks volumes about the lasting impression Wolf Ranch made on them.
“We love the community feel, getting to know our neighbors, being a familiar face, and the amenities are extremely hard to beat,” Ellie says. “Anytime we host families or friends, they are in awe with the pool, den, activities, and events we have on our calendar every weekend.”
Jeff and Ellie’s decision to buy a home at Wolf Ranch was also influenced by their plans for the future: “Jeff grew up walking to and from school, and has lifelong friends through the neighborhood he grew up in,” Ellie says. “We really value the sense of a welcoming community and see our kids live a life we're hoping to create lifelong memories and friendships with.”
Nature and Adventure Right at Home
For Jeff and Ellie, the natural surroundings of Wolf Ranch are a significant draw. “We love taking our kids down on the trail and exploring the San Gabriel River. When it gets too hot, you can find us at the pool and splash pad.”
The family values the opportunity for their children to walk to Wolf Ranch Elementary and enjoy the nearby amenity center, as well as the trails, river, and recreational facilities that provide endless opportunities for adventure and family bonding.
A Welcoming Community
What truly sets Wolf Ranch apart for Jeff and Ellie is the genuine sense of connection. “We knew this was a desirable location, but you can’t beat the community here,” Ellie affirms.
The welcoming atmosphere, coupled with the array of amenities and natural beauty, made Wolf Ranch the perfect choice for Jeff and Ellie. They have found a place where they can build lifelong memories, foster strong friendships, and provide their children with a nurturing environment.
