Definitely wouldn't compare the inner "cool" part of Austin to the Dallas suburbs. Austin is the best place to live in Texas if you want to have a good balance of city living and outdoors.
Yep. Austin has what no other city in the region can offer. So naturally, people want to live here.
Home prices have gone up a ton in the past 5 years. And I agree, it's hardly affordable to live anywhere central unless you are very well off. I was fortunate enough to buy a house fairly central about 5 years ago when it was still a buyers market. My house has appreciated almost 50% since then, which is nuts. I could not afford to live in my neighborhood if I were to be buying today.
Traffic is bad, but they are working on it. Hopefully we'll get a good rail system in place in 20 years.
