This community allows seniors to choose different floorplans, like one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or even three-bedroom options, and many of these come with features such as granite or stone countertops, walk-in closets, balconies, wall-to-wall carpeting, and stainless steel appliances, with some units offering pantries and extra storage. People living here can have up to two pets as long as the combined weight doesn't go over 99 pounds, and there's a pet deposit and fee, and the grounds include a dog park and places for residents to take walks with their pets. There's a parking garage, assigned covered parking, detached garages, and available charging stations for electric vehicles, plus valet parking if needed, and all bills are paid through the community, which includes services like satellite TV and fiber optic cable.
The dining here is led by Chef Stephan Pyles, who's won a James Beard Award, and residents have choices among five restaurants, including Alma, which is open to the public and serves Texas Hill Country soul food, and the community runs an adaptive dining program called Gourmet Bites, providing small, easy-to-hold meals for those who need help eating. Residents can take part in activities and wellness resources like a fitness center, a 24-hour gym, a resort-style pool, spa and salon, a theatre room, Watermark University classes, a sommelier-led wine tasting, and even tech-driven programs like EngageVR for virtual reality fun and BrainCafé for memory support. The 360Well wellness concept supports residents' minds, bodies, and spirits, and there are personal training sessions, creative classes, and sommelier wine tastings offered as well, and anyone can join public events or outings arranged through the 24/7 concierge desk, which also books reservations or transport as needed.
The Hacienda at Georgetown has designed its living spaces and services to suit various levels of independence, including Independent Living for those who don't need daily help, Assisted Living for those who need some support with daily activities, and Prema Memory Support for people living with dementia, as well as Skilled Nursing for those who need round-the-clock care, and when care needs change, residents can adjust within the same community thanks to the continuing care structure.

Technology features, like a Technology Concierge, Smart Exercise Equipment, LifeLoop, and virtual tours, help people keep up with tech or see what's happening around them, and public event partnerships and Resident Ambassador programs make new social connections easier. Security is in place with alarm systems and gated access, while the grounds have been planned to support both active and relaxed lifestyles with open green spaces, walkable paths, and seating areas.
