What is the things to do besides the downtown area? Is there lakes or rivers close? How easy is it to get to football games, baseball games, hockey games, etc?

I like that it is a small town as that is what I am used to.

Are you an educator?

And what do you mean by "football games, baseball games"...do you mean UT? Hockey is gonna be a haul for you, as they play in Cedar Park.

Bastrop state park is a good hike. I’ve done 3 or 4 different trail runs out there and always enjoyed it.

Their downtown has a few fun restaurants/bars. I’ve never been on lake Bastrop to know if it’s good for fishing/water sports.

As far as travel in to Austin (assuming you took the Del Valle job) on 71 won’t be too bad. They tolled up 71 on the inside but I usually am coming from the toll loop anyways and haven’t taken it any more west that ABIA.

ETA: You’d be close to downtown but not much else. 45 toll will get you to Round Rock for expres games fairly easily. COTA is close if that’s your thing.

Mostly. Couple decent bars/restraunts in town. Bastrop state park is cool. Otherwise...not much going on.

There’s an area by the river that you can park and play around in the water or along the banks. Other than that I couldn’t tell you much else.

Used to go out to a power house there a bunch. Nice town. Great bbq. Lakes and trails for outdoorsy stuff. Roughly 1/2 way between Austin and Houston.

Good luck on the weird sprawling your way.
