Review of Austin, Texas


Down Home Charm
Star Rating - 5/7/2006
We moved to Austin, Texas in May 2003 from the San Francisco Bay Area. We were looking for a change because we were tired of the Bay Area. It'd gotten too expensive, crowded and stressful.

Austin is a great city. The people are friendly and it's incredibly dog-friendly. I don't have any regrets about moving here. That said, the two major drawbacks are the heat in the summer and lack of reliable public transportation. You'd think coming from the BA I'd be used to driving a lot but I drive more here than I have in my 20+ years driving in CA. Go figure!
