About Hays
Located about 14 miles southwest of Austin, Hays is a tiny, peaceful city in northern Hays County. It started out in the 1970s as the Country Estates neighborhood and eventually incorporated on its own. Today, the area is known for its quiet, tree-lined streets and homes set on large, wooded lots. Families are served by the Hays Consolidated Independent School District. It is a great fit for people who want plenty of trees, starry night skies, and a relaxed rural feel while staying within an easy commute of Austin.
