NJ Xterra owner moving to the Austin TX area within the next year.Anyone out there from Austin or surrounding area?
I need advise on where to buy.(and where to wheel)
I'm in my mid 30's so I don't want to buy in or near a retirement community or a college frat community.

Thanks,

Plenty of us! I live in San Antonio so I'll wait for the others to chime in to tell ya details.

I start my new Yob there Monday

Austin proper is VERY expensive. There is very little that I can afford in the city... which is why Round Rock and some of the other towns just to the north are exploding with new growth and the traffic sucks bigtime.

I plan to rent for awhile and maybe buy in 6 months to a year once I've got the lay of the land better (And once my gf settles on a job)

My wife and I lived in Round Rock for two years and really liked the town. We always felt safe living there. I worked in Round Rock but my wife had to drive to south Austin everyday and always bitched about the traffic.

I live in Cedar Park, just NW of Austin, and enjoy the area. It's growing a lot out here, as it is all around Austin.

What price range are you looking in? What do you look for in a neighborhood and area? I just looked for houses last year so I can maybe share some ideas if you are serious about the move.

Welcome man.

Good luck on the house hunting thing.
