Sounds like you are Gtfo out of that shite hole as fast as possible. Give us the real story here.

I just want land, a horse or two, some tall trees, and to not live in the fastest growing city in the country.

The best places right now are the little towns (not suburbs) on the outskirts of metro sprawl. Still get that good old fashioned Americana feeling while being 30 mins from anything you could hope for and need

If you pick PHX metro area stay in Scottsdale area or East valley. East valley (Chandler/Gilbert/East Mesa) is rapidly growing.
What kind of work does your wife do?
ETA: AZ will have lots of mountains to access as well. And can easily drive to northern AZ to go play in the snow in the winter or escape the heat in the summer.

Live east of Dallas and have access to the airport.
Also kiepersol winery has a great backstory and is a fun place to visit.

I close in round rock next month. Let me take a guess at what you have that listed for. $699k?

No, sir.

Ok I just played around with Zillow and Georgetown is way more expensive than I thought
My guess is way too low. Good luck on selling it!

I’d pick AZ but lobby for Prescott or Flagstaff.
But I’ve never been to Tuscon. Phoenix is kind of bland.

Check out Boerne, Texas.
Great schools, a nice downtown, Texas Hill Country, 30 mins to San Antonio Airport, ~1 hour to Downtown Austin, unincorporated Kendall County has a 1.64% property tax rate which is one of the lowest in Texas.
I have a 2BR,2BA 1,800 sqft property on 5 acres in Bergheim (Boerne School District) that'll be for rent starting in April.

Yeah, it's become insane.
We would be looking to get around $900k.
Best of luck in RR. The downtown area there is pretty cool - we go over there a good bit.

I honestly don't get Tucson. I've been there a few times, there's just not much there that's appealing to me. Every building is brown, there is no grass anywhere, it's hot as hades 90% of the year...am I missing something?
You either love the desert or you don't. Not much in between.

Flagstaff is located perfectly if you are into the outdoors. You can go from winter weather to damn near summer weather in about an hour on a lot of days.

The property taxes are outrageous
It depends on where you buy, especially in Houston. Property tax rates a mile from my old house, in the same school district are half of what mine were.
I advise you not live in Fort Bend County, the tax assessor is a screaming a-hole, who took over from a screaming c&nt.
Oil price crash in Houston? Your house goes up in value to the max allowed. They don't do that shite even in the richest areas in Dallas (Southlake, at least.)

You have a lot of great options. If decide on Phoenix would look north of Old Town but stay inside the 101. Outside the 101 is great for golf but not walkable.

San Marcos, TX. Easy access to Austin and the airport. Easy access to hill country. San Antonio would be a quick trip as well.

The best part about no income tax offset by higher property tax is that you get to choose how much you pay by the value of the house you buy.
bullshite, house values rise every year. I am paying almost 3 times in property taxes than I was 10 years ago. With an income tax you are only paying taxes on what you earn, not on potential, that's potential future earnings with property taxes.
