Advice on Choosing an Austin, TX Neighborhood


Choosing a neighborhood in Austin will be an enjoyable adventure. As you drive through Austin, decide whether you want to live within the city, or maybe look for a home in the northern suburbs. Austin is divided by the escarpment known as the Balcones Fault. Everything west of that fault is hilly countryside that stretches out into the fabled Texas Hill Country. Everything to the east of the fault is flatland, much of it situated along the Colorado River that runs through downtown Austin. The older neighborhoods are to be found in the older, flatlands of Austin. Newer neighborhoods, especially new subdivisions are west of the fault and in the northern suburbs, like Pflugerville, Taylor and Georgetown. You'll find the people of Austin are very friendly, no matter where they live, and you'll be welcome no matter what neighborhood you choose to live in.
