Best In Texas Real Estate™: Bastrop County

🏆 Ranked #1 Best In Texas Real Estate™: Bastrop County — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. But a new report reveals a critical imbalance: the top ZIP code (78659) is 3.9x more affordable than the median. This isn’t just a data point—it’s a warning. Growth is not shared equally. For every new job created in Elgin or Cedar Creek, who gets to live near it? The data suggests only a fraction of the population can. This is not a supply issue. It’s a distribution issue.
