I need suggestions about areas to move to in Austin, Texas. What are the best areas you recommend for me?

The ideal location really IS going to depend on where you will be working. The morning commute can be a bit much at times. Some areas to check out would be Cedar Park/NW Austin or Round Rock (about 10-15 miles north of downtown Austin). There is a new development called The Domain that you may want to check out (brand new high end apartments, away from the college crowd but not far from downtown). I would also recommend looking into a locator service to help you (free to you, they are paid by the apartments that you move in to). Good luck!!

My first question is where in Austin is your job located? If you work in North Austin, you'd better live in North Austin; traffic is soooo bad. I-35 is jam packed most of the time. I lived in South Austin and at one point worked in North Austin. Big mistake. It seems to me that if you're looking north of Austin such as Roundrock, it gets kind of expensive up there as far as housing goes.

For your requirements, North Austin is probably your better bet. South Austin is where more of the college kids are and there's 6th street and all the good party locations. North Austin is a bit nicer. Although there are some good locations on the 360 loop (also known as N. Capital of Texas Hwy) where all the green rolling hills are and Bee Cave was a nice drive too.

When I first moved there I used an apartment locator service to help me figure out the best place to live as far as what amenities I required, distance from work and other important locations. I would recommend you do the same.

Good luck, Austin is a great place to live.

I live in Southwest Austin and love it. Depending on where you work, you might consider the South MoPac (Loop 1) area near William Cannon and Slaughter (which includes the Circle C neighborhood). This area is relatively newly developed, so all the amenities are in great shape - good grocery stores, lots of shopping, movie theaters, parks, et cetera. Everything you need is closeby. There's a mix of demographics here, but it's heavy on the young families. The proportion of houses to apartments is about 60/40, so it's not jam-packed with apartment dwellers. I know there are some apartment complexes that offer renter's equity nearby. This area has easy access to MoPac, which gets you downtown in just a few minutes; it also has easy access to Ben White (Highway 290 West) which gets you over to IH 35 in a jiffy if needed.

Without figuring out wherein you're going to be running, it may be tricky to reply that question. Definitely keep west of the I-35. I could individually propose one of the crucial many condo complexes on 620, the closer to 2222 the higher for my part (approach northwest austin close Lake Travis / Lakeway). There are many to opt for from, and it's some distance adequate clear of the schools that you do not must manage the institution youngsters. They generally tend to cater to households who're renting even as constructing and professonals which can be watching for a quieter vicinity from what we've obvious. Some to take a look at: Escalon at Canyon Creek Colonial Grand at Canyon Creek Avendaro at Canyon Creek Windsor at Bee Caves Alara Cantebrea Crossing Another one within the nicer facet of Cedar Park that possibly valued at making an attempt is the Colonial Grand at Silverado Reserve or the Colonial Grand at Silverado. The Residences on the Domain is in an upscale field and may be very effortless considering the fact that there are stores / eating places correct at the doorstep. I could regularly shy clear of The Mansions at Canyon Creek and The Mansions / Monterone at Steiner Ranch even though. FYI, you'll additionally hire residences in Steiner Ranch for across the rate you could pay for an condo. Good good fortune together with your transfer!

I curentlly live near westlake at the 360 Bridge area. It really depends where you work. At the location I live there are building very nice aparmentw and near 360 there is a stucco apartments that i don't rmember the name of but it is on 360 and 2222 north side. They have great views and location. Also it is near the Domain, Barton Creek, and Lakeline. I highly recomend that area.

NW Austin would probably be the safest and most decent part of town. It has lots of trees, is close to shopping and easy access to highways. Jollyville area and off of Capital of Tx. hwy are nice areas.

I live just south of austin. well everything downtown is UT students. So if you want north, possibly look at round rock or pflugerrville, which is way north on I35. If you go I35 north on yager there are alot of apartments also. If you want south there are alot of descent apartments off slaughter. austin is growing everywhere and the traffic sucks. one of the worst in all of u.s.a. AUSTIN is pretty much a 1 highway city. everything pretty much goes by the way of IH35.

There is a small town called Wimberley about an hours drive away from Austin. Please do not move there! You will not enjoy it because the people are snooty and the town is no fun! I've lived there so trust me. I suggest you do a little more research.
