Texan peeps

["SNAKIE"]

Hey guys so im thinking about moving to texas for various reasons. I was wondering what u guys think of Texas, the good and the bad. I was thinking of moving around the austin area because its a big city wit hthings to do, music etc. Also if anyone lives around austin, what is a good neighborhood to consider. Primarily looking for a safe crime free area. Thanks to all

austin and the surrounding area is probably the nicest place i've ever lived. i lived there for 6 years while in college. someday i'll move back. absolutely awesome, you won't be disappointed.

I lived in Austin for 18 years and now coming on 3 in Dallas.

Depending on your price range for living and house/apartment there are many great areas in Austin. I lived in Westlake my entire time there and it is by far the nicest area of Austin when considering school, safety, accessibility and commodities. 10 mins from Lake Austin and 10 mins from downtown stretching it.

If you want to live a little farther out, Lakeway is a growing neighborhood as well as Lake Travis, both of which are safe and nice places. More to the interior you have Terry Town which is also nice.

North Austin is becoming alot nicer than it used to be with areas around 620, 183, and the Arboretum really getting developed as far as nice places to live. Austin is only getting bigger and better.

The west hills in austin are very nice.

Plano is also a nice place as well as booming Frisco and Northern Fort Worth....

The price of living in Northern FW is unbelievable...198K for a custom 3000 sq ft home (my sister has been looking)....any custom home anywhere else in the Dallas area is gonna be 250k + no matter the size.

I live in Houston but if I had the chance I would move to Austin in a heart beat. Cruising the hill country is awesome and the live music seen kicks ass. It is also only about 45 minutes to an hour from San Antonio and one can not forget how close New Braunfels and tubing the river is.:coolman:

I go to school in Austin and live/have lived in Dallas my whole life.

I have to say Austin is alright.. but the roads/traffic/people/everything in Dallas can't be beat. :thumbsup:

You will love Austin Tx! I am from Houston but have lived in Austin for about 5 years. I only moved back to Houston because of family. Austin is a big city with tons of things to do. Its a pretty safe city overall. Hey the major court houses are there;-) so no messing around. Good luck with your move.:beer:

Just a part of the SCMC Austin Cruise... The 6TH Street FLING pics are classified... "What happens in Austin... stays in Austin" ;-)

Austin is a great city. You are going to love how little the cost of living is compared to California. I moved out to Texas from San Diego three years ago and almost fell over dead when I saw houses for 100,000 brand new.
