San Marcos, home to Texas State University, is conveniently situated halfway between San Antonio and Austin. Although San Marcos is within easy driving distance of these metropolitan areas, it remains a world away from the hustle and bustle of big city life. Its location at the center of the Austin-San Antonio Growth Corridor enables our citizens and corporate community to enjoy both small city convenience and big city connections. Commuting is easy because Austin is a quick 26 miles north on IH-35, while historic San Antonio is only 45 miles to the south. Three of the ten largest cities in the U.S. and over 70% of the Texas population are within 200 miles of San Marcos. The Balcones Escarpment, which runs through the center of town, splits the area into two contrastingly beautiful regions, the scenic canyon-traversed Hill Country to the west and the rich, gently rolling farmlands to the east.
San Marcos teems with some of the most unique attractions Texas has to offer. Every year millions of visitors from both the United States and Mexico delight in the serene beauty as well as the attractions of San Marcos. Outdoor recreation is a way of life in San Marcos' inviting climate. People love to swim, canoe, tube, fish, and snorkel in the San Marcos River. Children's Park features one of the largest playscapes in the U.S. and other parks hold tennis courts, an Olympic-size pool, and facilities for basketball, soccer, baseball, softball, and football for children and adults. There are two golf courses in the city, and bowling, pool, and movies.
Whether you're leisurely tubing down the gentle current of the San Marcos River, bargain hunting at our beautifully landscaped outlet malls, or wandering through Downtown and the Historic Districts to learn the San Marcos story, this beautiful city provides the perfect setting for long time residents as well as visitors.
