Review of Austin, Texas


I love austin
Star Rating - 1/15/2007
Relocated my family from san jose ca, 6 months ago And would have to say it was the best decision we ever made. We sold are 2 bedroom 1 bath condo for 390,000 and purchased a 2000 square foot home in a nice area in round rock for 140,000. If you are skilled with credentials and have good references you will have no problem a getting a job. My overall opinion Austin is head and shoulders above san jose in everyway. I ask any san jose citizen how there salary stacks up to a median home price of 776,000 that is 40 years old and the roof is ready to cave in, and you will see that it does not equate no matter how great the weather is.
