Review of San Angelo, Texas


That Close to Perfection
Star Rating - 12/7/2008
While San Angelo may not be the biblical Eden it's as close as I've ever found. This is a quiet town. A good place to raise a family. The people are friendly and helpful. The cost of living isn't too high. There's lots of available housing at all price levels. People are hiring. Houses are selling. While San Angelo is listed at 88,000 population that doesn't include some 20,000 students. 5,000 students are at Goodfellow AFB. The rest are at local colleges. San Angelo has at least one of everything - you just have to look hard to find it. We have two five-star restaurants. We have a local playhouse, planetarium, Art museum, gun club, golf course, airport. You may not have an extensively varied selection of what to do in San Angelo - but you do have a diverse selection of entertainments. It's a great place to be.

I am returning to Texas and while I have lived in Austin and San Antonio I would prefer to look towards your area (fell in love with West Texas on a recent trip). Would you still agree with your 2008 writing? If so why would you suggest San Angelo? How is the job situation? Thank You! : )
