Questions about Commuting and Communities
Star Rating - 3/11/2006
We're considering relocating from Virginia, where my husband spends 4.5 hours each workday commuting to and from Washington, D.C. What is the commute like between Round Rock or Georgetown and Austin? Also, a website recommends census areas Austin #139 (in zip 78717), Georgetown #1 (in zip 78628), and Round Rock #2 and #1 (in zip 78681) as good communities for families with children. (We have four: 14-4). Any opinions/comments on these areas? Are we better off buying in a new community or preowned? Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Beth
