Yes, west Austin rich last bastion of Republicans, east Austin where people have been gentrified to. Pflugerville is a good balance, high diversity and education and upper middle class income.
Weat austin is where the Dell millionaires, VPs, CFOs, CEOs, and celebrities live.
I liked living in up north, personally. Having the H-Mart is a big quality of life thing to me. Just the traffic is so bad to get down south for work, suuucks.
Taylor is way too far out to be lumped in with North Austin.
More like an hour when talking about the area H Mart is in.
Cedar Park I've looked at frequently, but there's not all that much to do, mostly just a bedroom community. On a more alarming note, their comprehensive plan discusses...using religion leaders as part of outreach.
I know a lot of people bash North Austin and further, but I think it has a lot to offer, especially for families. Heavy emphasis on team sports, with a lot of stadiums being built in the area.
Well all of the suburbs are suburbs. But Cedar Park, Round Rock, and Pflugerville are getting so large that there's really no transition between North Austin and the northern burbs, outside of that large plot of ranch and quarry land around 45/Mopac. I've lived in both North Austin and Pflugerville, and honestly the difference is that if you want to do stuff in Austin, add ~6 minutes of toll driving. The key to avoiding traffic in the burbs is to get a house within a half mile of a toll road with 0 traffic lights.
The suburbs also have perks. If you just want a stress free date night, there are several top tier restaurants you can drive to and park immediately in front of for free. For example, Ajo in Round Rock.
What's the main difference between Williamson County and Travis, you'd say?
So this happened this morning:
Ignoring the anti-homeless rhetoric (the driver was a crazy guy too), lol wow
Oh, he knew exactly what he was doing.Pretty irresponsible to tweet that as the guy works in politics.
Yeah, my reply was simply going to be "taxes", but I thought he might be fishing for something more on the social end of things.
Wilco has a reputation of being more conservative, but that isn't true in the Austin section, and Travis covers a lot of old rural areas.
Cannot wait.
But man has pest control been fun this year.
Started with yellow jackets in June-July. Then July-August thirsty birds discovered our pool and shat all over it. Due to the drought, the greenbelt is scorched so rats are setting up shop. Got a company setting up max poison bait this weekend before they chew up pool pump wires.
A trifecta of wildlife literally shitting all over our patio. I get the appeal of an sealable patio.
My first rental here was a duplex with a flat roof off of 2222 and Mopac (Highland Hills area) over the years I lived there...
-Family of Raccoons lived in my AC vents
-Fleas in the 2nd bedroom from said raccoons
-Neighbor had to shoot an injured deer on the property
-Yellow Jackets moved into the vaulted ceiling
-All of the Spiders
Loved that place. Also, spiders are pretty chill.
