Austin is the best place to live in America, according to a 2019 U.S. News report.


Here are the Top 10 metropolitan areas, well 11 because I couldn’t leave out a city in Alabama. Even Alabama is getting better...

1. Austin, TX
2. Denver, CO
3. Colorado Springs, CO
4. Fayetteville, AR
5. Des Moines, IA
6. Minneapolis St-Paul, MN
7. San Francisco, CA
8. Portland, OR
9. Seattle, WA
10. Raleigh and Durham, NC
11. Huntsville, AL

It’s a great place, but it’s quickly pricing a lot of people out of being here, traffic can be a nightmare, home inventory can’t keep up with demand, and some other things.

That said, we have a high avg. salary, lots of jobs, access to a ton of outdoor activities (not that you’d want to do them over the last couple weeks when it’s averaged about 102 each day), and we’re a highly educated metro area.

Having moved from Baton Rouge to Austin, traffic is a breeze IMO. The outdoor activities are what makes this city great. 250+ parks, lots of hiking, creeks and a huge mountain biking scene.

ETA: love the downvotes for listing things I like about a city.
