Know San Marcos
San Marcos sits along Interstate 35 between Austin and San Antonio and serves as the Hays County seat, with the 1908 Classical Revival courthouse on the public square. The city's limits also reach into Caldwell and Guadalupe counties. Spanish settlers founded San Marcos de Neve here in 1808, Anglo-American settlement followed in the 1840s, and the railroad arrived in 1880. ZIP codes are 78666 and 78667.
Texas State University, founded in 1899 as Southwest Texas State Normal School, is the city's defining presence, and education has been the largest local industry since the 1960s. That means a high share of renters, apartment complexes near campus and busy move-in and move-out periods. Apartment communities often require reserved loading times or proof of insurance, which we can provide at no cost.
San Marcos Springs rises from the Edwards Aquifer into Spring Lake, now managed by the university's Meadows Center, and feeds the San Marcos River, which the Blanco River joins a few miles downstream. The Tanger outlets draw millions of shoppers a year along I-35. San Marcos CISD serves most of the city, and Hays CISD covers part of the northeast.
Book well ahead if your lease ends in late summer, when student move-outs and move-ins overlap across the city.Ask your apartment office about loading zones and elevator reservations, and request our certificate of insurance early.Avoid the I-35 stretch near the outlet malls on busy shopping weekends when timing a cross-town move.Near the river and low-lying streets, keep an eye on heavy-rain forecasts; we reschedule unsafe days without a fee.

FAQ's
Answers for people moving in or out of San Marcos.
