Rural Bastrop County Community
Welcome to Paige, a small rural community in Bastrop County, Texas, set along the US 290 corridor between Austin and the county seat of Bastrop.
Paige is a small, unincorporated community in Bastrop County, Texas, set in the gently rolling countryside east of Austin. It sits along the US 290 corridor, which runs between Austin and the county seat of Bastrop and continues east toward Giddings and the Brazos Valley. The community's history is tied to the railroad and to the surrounding agricultural economy, and it was formally recognized as a census-designated place only in recent decades. Paige remains a distinctly rural community, with a population of just a few hundred residents. Farms, ranches, and open land dominate the landscape, and the community's small scale means it functions more as a crossroads settlement than as a town, with a handful of local businesses and homes scattered along the highway and county roads. Public education is provided by the Bastrop Independent School District, with students attending Emile Elementary and continuing to Bastrop High School in the county seat. The community's rural setting gives it a quiet, spacious character, with larger lots and a pace far removed from the region's urban centers. Paige's location along US 290 is its key asset for residents: Austin lies roughly 30 to 40 minutes to the west, and Bastrop is a short drive east, providing shopping, services, and employment while the community itself stays rural. The area's mix of open pasture, woodlands, and scattered homesteads gives Paige a quiet, quintessentially Central Texas rural character, and its proximity to the growing Austin metro area has slowly introduced new residents seeking land and distance from the city.
