re: Any recent Austin, TX transplants here?

I’m in Avery Ranch which is right by Brushy Creek. Decent area.

Yes you get used to the heat. That doesn’t mean you go out and do stuff bt noon and 7p during the summer, unless it involves a pool or lake. Most people don’t. It’s a semi-dry heat, not super humid.

If you are allergic to cedar or oak pollen certain times of the year will be tough. February-April. Sometimes the cedars look like they are on fire bc so much pollen is being blown off by the wind.

Keep in mind Austin proper is a lot different than the suburbs. Proper used to be authentic/funky. It’s now fancy and fake. Government is terrible. But many good restaurants.

Suburbs much more Texas normal. Georgetown, cedar park, bee cave, oak hill, Kyle all have positive things, but are typical suburbs. Dripping has character but is pretty far out.

Living in a burb and driving in to take advantage of some of the good things Austin proper can be a nice life. But traffic does suck at busy times.

Thanks for the response! Very helpful!!

We're neighbors baw. Checkout the lifetime fitness down the road if you need a gym.

Some good comments on here. But how old are your kids and what activities are they into, that is a big consideration along with your budget. Many good areas here for sure. My 3rd time to lIve in Austin. Good area overall but pick the area best for the Family.

Please don't. I was born and raised there...as was my whole family for generations and the influx of people moving there has destroyed it.

Just wish the Cali transplants would learn their lessons. Was down there last week and while sitting at the hotel bar for dinner I had to nearly bite my tongue off. Two marginally attractive at best chicks (OT 5’s) that actually seemed to be trying harder to be unattractive sat down next to me. They struck up a conversation and explained how they moved to Austin from Cali for work. They did most of the talking as all I did was ask the occasional interrogative. They proceeded to tell me that Cali is better than the south because of education, that nobody cares about college sports, that conservatives pushed too far which forces Democrats to stand their ground and that Europe is so much better than the United States. The sum total was they are here for work and moving back to Cali eventually……personally frick them and frick any ignorant transplant like them.

And enjoy the homeless vagrants and trash downtown…..delightful

Also, what is it with Californians and their total unwillingness to just stay in their own state instead going to another one and turning it into California? Californians would have made some fantastic missionaries...

He needs to calm down and apologize at once!

Start in Boerne area then branch out from there.
