Old Town is a formal City historic overlay with a mostly residential character. The City describes it by relationship to downtown, Southwestern University, and nearby numbered streets rather than as a generalized real-estate boundary; use the City’s historic-properties map when an address-level determination matters.
Living well in Old Town Historic District
Old Town Historic District is part of the wider Georgetown community. Its streets, public spaces, daily destinations, and nearby recreation options can shape how residents fit movement, food planning, and routine healthcare into ordinary weeks. The local details below come from the cited public and official resources; Luma Health does not claim to operate a physical clinic in this neighborhood.
- The City identifies Old Town as one of its two Downtown & Old Town Historic Overlays.
- The City describes the Old Town Overlay as mostly residential, between Downtown and Southwestern University and south to parts of 17th, 18th, and 19th Streets.
- The historic overlays were established by City Council to maintain distinctive development and design standards.
- Properties in the City’s historic overlay districts can require a Certificate of Appropriateness depending on the property’s significance and the proposed work.

Visit official resource →How telehealth fits a local routine
Luma Health provides online medical weight-management evaluations to eligible Texas adults. Virtual care can reduce travel time and make follow-up easier to coordinate around work, family, school, and commuting. It does not replace emergency care, preventive primary care, or an in-person evaluation when a clinician determines one is necessary.
Provider-guided care from home
Submitting an assessment does not guarantee treatment or a prescription. A licensed clinician reviews each patient's medical history and determines whether treatment is appropriate.
Check eligibility →Build a sustainable weekly plan
Start with one realistic activity route, one reliable grocery stop, and one repeatable meal or movement habit. Consistency is usually easier when the plan fits the neighborhood and schedule a person already has. Discuss significant changes in activity, diet, or medication with an appropriate healthcare professional.
