FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How will Samsung affect Taylor real estate?
Samsung's semiconductor fabrication plant is expected to bring thousands of direct and indirect jobs to the Taylor area. This has already attracted new residential development, commercial investment, and infrastructure improvements. Long-term, the facility is expected to drive sustained demand for housing and support property value appreciation.
Is Taylor a good investment opportunity?
Taylor represents a compelling investment opportunity due to the Samsung fab, relatively low current prices, and significant planned development. However, buyers should research specific locations and timelines carefully, as the full economic impact will unfold over several years as the facility becomes operational.
What is the commute from Taylor to Austin?
Taylor is about 35 miles northeast of downtown Austin. The commute takes approximately 40 to 55 minutes via US-79 and SH-130. Many future residents are expected to work at the Samsung facility or in nearby Round Rock and Georgetown rather than commuting to central Austin.
