Review of Austin, Texas


worst place I ever lived
Star Rating - 8/31/2011
I have lived all over and liked every place I have lived--except Austin. The air quality is poor. The first one bedroom I lived for 2 years at $1,000/mo became infested with rodents in the walls--which management did not address and they died. The smell was so horrid and the place became infested with flies, I had to move. The second apt at $1100/mo had a mold problem which made my dogs and myself sick. In addition, I was surrounded by cigaratte smokers which made the poor air quality worse. In addition, the people who are from there are nice, but I found lots of mean people--possibly the new influx of folks.

Yes I agree with you that Austin is not so great to live. Its used to be better during the 80's and early 90's. But now is bad because the people have change and its hard to find a good paying job. Its so hot and humid all the time and its seem to be getting worse every year. Traffic is horrible. And yes I agree about the mold problems here. I am thinking of moving out west maybe Colorado or Oregon where the weather is much more comfortable and less mold in the air and plus nicer people. I totally agree everything you say about Austin Tx.

The Summers are BRUTAL. The worst Place I've ever lived, and people say that Florida is HOT. PLEASE. Lots of people don't know HOT until they've been to Texas in the summer.
