Elgin, the "Sausage Capital of Texas," is a growing community about 25 miles east of Austin in Bastrop County. The town is famous for its hot sausage tradition — Southside Market has been smoking sausage here since 1882 — but modern Elgin is increasingly known as an affordable alternative for Austin-area homebuyers.
The city offers a genuine small-town atmosphere with a historic downtown, community events, and open countryside. New subdivisions are providing modern homes at price points well below the Austin average. Elgin ISD serves the community, and the SH-130 toll road provides a quick commute to Austin's east side. For buyers seeking value and character, Elgin is worth the drive.
