About Dripping Springs

Dripping Springs is a Hill Country city west of Austin, served by Dripping Springs Independent School District and the Pinnacle Campus of Austin Community College nearby. It has become a fast-growing edge community, but its identity still leans on limestone hills, live oaks, swimming holes, wineries, and the self-proclaimed title "Gateway to the Hill Country." Dripping Springs is also known for dark-sky efforts and wedding venues. It feels scenic and entrepreneurial, with Austin growth pressing hard into a once-rural landscape.
