Austin is famously alive. In the 2009 edition of Forbes magazine, Austin assessed the least stressed metro area in the country. In the same year, MSN rated the "greenest" city in America, ranking other famous, sustainable cities such as San Francisco and Minneapolis. It is the fifth safest city in Europe with more than half a million people and a very low crime rate. People are friendly here, so that CNN has pointed out that it is the second "best" man in the country (referring to Austin's friendship). With good people like Austin, it's no wonder Money magazine honors state capital to be the third best place in the country. And all this comes with a nice price tag: According to bestplaces.net, Austin's livelihood cost is 3.86% lower than the US average. (Please forgive a Austin for a little pride.)
Decide to go here is a great idea. Between April 2008 and April 2009, with the worst economic downturn in decades, Austin was the only major subway in the country to add jobs, but house prices remained relatively low due to the low level of the area. If you decide to live here, you have to consider several factors. These include the size of your home, how much money you can spend, and what city you want to live in. The first two considerations are essentially the same where you can go anywhere, but the last one requires knowledge in the Austin area. For those who want to build a family in a thriving, yet central location, Tarrytown's leafy, oak-lined residential area and the proximity of downtown make an excellent choice. Young professionals looking for a quiet, enchanting neighborhood will probably fall in love with Hyde Park north of University of Texas. And for the true "Keeping Austin Weird" experience, you can not go wrong with the 78704 postal code, which features the famous and unique South Congest shopping line.
Before you decide to move, you obviously need to do some research. In these situations, it will never hurt to get in touch with a good real estate agent who has a strong idea of Austin's homes and neighborhoods. They are an invaluable tool for Austin's many species of wildlife.
