This is BY FAR The best description of where to live I have seen. Incorporating the map makes it work so much better. I am surprised it isn't grabbing more views. The Algorithm needs to do a better job. This isn't just some Realtor Rambling on like the other 5 I saw today. WATCH THIS PEOPLE. And I do NOT know this person. There seems to be a lot of interest in reasons why people are now leaving Austin. i look at home Values today 2024 and they are nearly DOUBLE what they were in 2018-2019 and people (seller) are now living in Denial... these prices either drop of they are locked in.
You are the best❤ so knowledgeable. I moved a while ago to explore and find a home and I can confirm all your points, acurate 100% Your content, way to express, video, sound, structure of how to show things have amazing quality. Also you as a person look unique, genuine, mature and respectful. ❤🎉
Great video. We moved to Temple about a year ago for healthcare jobs. We wanted to be close to Austin without dealing with the traffic and crazy housing prices. Now we work here on weekdays and pretty much spend every Saturday in Austin.
Thank you for the support! That's great you were able to find balance and still enjoy Austin. You're in the perfect spot to do exactly what you're doing.
The north and south have a lot more traffic congestion and lower prices. The west has higher prices with less traffic. I guess that’s why you pay more money in those locations.
Thank you for watching and for the feedback! I wish the traffic wasn’t creeping into the hill country area, but it sure is. I suppose it makes sense, though, because it’s so pretty.
Manor is very nice. It has a very "small town" feeling, with historic buildings, but still just a short drive to downtown Austin. But dense housing projects are being built around Manor.
Thank you, Cisco! Manor is really starting to grow in terms of commercial development, which has been much needed. It will be exciting to see how it all comes together.
I live in the 78731 area code, and I love it! I had a great realtor, and she found me a great home in a fantastic neighborhood. I feel fortunate to live where I live…
78745 is one of the best zip codes for average income working class people in Austin. Nice, well kept older neighborhoods made up mostly of ranch style homes from the 1970's and 80's. About 20 to 30 mins to downtown during rush hour. For Austin, it's good bargain compared to 78704.
Looking to buy a second home. I'm from California and would like to know which suburb of Austin has chic shops, upscale restaurants, green and lots of trees. Preferably a cute main street and good restaurants are most important.
Most of the downtown condos offer 24-hr concierge, but since our group specializes in sales, I'm unfamiliar with the apartment rental offerings. Regarding condos, most of the 24/7 service is going to be concentrated around the downtown developments and typically goes hand in hand with higher monthly association dues.
"Where You Should Live in Austin" and then literally didn't even mention anything in Austin. Maybe change title to "Where You Should Live outside of Austin".
@ it seems those psychedelics have warped your brain a little bit to where all you have to do is to troll online and talk shit to other people to express your anger over a political view that is already three weeks into the wind. Maybe you should seek psychological help, a counselor or two. seems like you have some serious daddy issues that you have to express yourself so hard in print to other people. Hmm…🤔
The Congress Lofts are a great spot! If you're available this week, I'd love to talk more in depth offline. You're welcome to reach out at (512) 337-4537 or info@vonaustin.com and we can coordinate a good time.
The best advice is to not actually live in the City of Austin itself and to avoid any areas served by it's electricity or water utilities-which are frequently non-functional. Westlake and Lake Travis are the best areas the city has to offer. Downtown is populated with adult children still on their parents cell phone plans. Less homelessness and crime when you get outside of the city, as well.
Not following your sentence... The Austin MSA covers 5 counties, so based on where people work, live, and play, there are going to be cars on the road and an increase in traffic in any growing city.
I live in pflugerville it's its own city which has advantages from being apart from communist Austin in other words no riff raff also we have the 1:30 which lets you get to the airport really fast if you're not driving in traffic hours smack dab downtown is only 25 minutes and it's a more laid-back easy living place other people like Cedar park but it's a bit harder to get out of there as far as going out to temple and manor that's quite far out so it puto is also far out as is bastrop. Lakeway can be quite far out because of the roads. The rolling hill country in the south west is pretty but very expensive and downtown Austin you're pretty much looking at a tiny condo for ridiculous prices. What other area if you want to be close to downtown I like a lot is called Burnett the South Congress area used to be hip but now so much is gone houses there are depression era very small kind of icky
Pflugerville is a bit boring but we do have good shopping and restaurants for example Costco and In-N-Out burger as well as the usual sushi droids and Vietnamese spots there is fine dining downtown Austin it's really grown up quite a bit if you like that kind of thing
I consider the "riff raff" people like this person who call others communists & make other derogatory remarks about people in general. This person is an example of what's wrong with this country & state & is not an example of the state I grew up in. My TX roots are several generations deep & made TX great. Comments like these are not only divisive but hateful, especially since we all need to be able to work together thru "give&take" nowadays. Trump's "loyalty to me & maga or off to prison you'll go" doesn't work for the betterment & greatness of TX & all America! Hook em Horns!
Hi Andre, are you referencing the list of the top 10 largest cities in the U.S.? If so, those are the based on city population and not the entire metro. Austin proper is about twice the population of the city of Atlanta. The metros are another story. Hope that helps.
@15423 You should do a video! I for one have no interest in living in a suburb of Austin. If I'm gonna be in the Austin metro area I want to be as close as possible to the actual fun stuff. I don't want to be driving 30 minutes one way to enjoy Austin.
To each their own but if you're going to live well outside the city in places life Buda or Kyle of Hutto or Pflugerville you need to be okay with the fact that you getting 0% of Austin culture and I do mean 0%. These places are soulless but great if you love suburbia (plenty of wonderful ppl there for sure, just qiuet and boring). If you want to actually experience austin proper you need to live within 5 miles of downtown (excluding west lake). Anywhere else and you're just "visiting" austin.
I agree, I spent 3 miserable years living in Austin. It’s nothing but an overblown college town, that seriously lacks any real culture, such as the arts, theater, pro sports, or quality dining. There is such an obsession with down town, but it’s mostly a ghost town, too disconnected , spread out with few people on the streets, it’s just not walkable. Lousy public transportation, too many tech bros and hotter than hell. I could go on and on. The best thing about it, was seeing it in the rear view mirror.
@kjhuang I'm only assuming, but based on the username Mr. Bill in SF. San Francisco or at least it seems they may have lived there previously... which may explain their Austin "hot" take.
From the rest of Texas, unless you’re an investor, don’t do it. The Austin of yesterday is long gone & with it the Glamour & freedom of speech..I’m glad I got out 10 yrs ago before it turned into a socialist love fest..
Thanks for watching. Definitely understand what you're saying; however, it is very dependent on where one lives. I was born and raised in San Antonio with family in nearly every major Texas metro. People like to point out Austin's political landscape for obvious reasons, but they seem to miss very similar policies and landscapes in the other large TX cities. Do you still call TX home or did you move elsewhere?
@@MovingATX It’s not dependent on where One lives. Kindness and understanding used to flow through Austin, now you’re confronted with pronouns, you can’t say this, you can’t fly that flag, we don’t like the way you look. I moved my family and my business out six years ago because I saw the exact trash that everybody sees across social media happening today. brainwashed social justice warriors trying to fit in somewhere, instead of just trying to be good people. Good people used to be Austin. The current generation has turned it into a joke. I was fortunate enough when I bought my house in Southlake, to be surrounded by like-minded people who left for exactly the same reason, looking for the peace in society that we had in Austin. thanks for your response, if you’re selling real estate there, I would just throw in the towel and call it quits… Trust me, serious investors have moved on.
@ Your 1,000,000+ investors are bottom feeders. Serious investors, like myself who can create skyscrapers have left the building. Right now it’s to my understanding that there are less than 30 in the Austin area. Oh, by the way, while you’re laughing, enjoy the new laws coming down the pipeline, because believe me, I will enjoy Maga country. We’re about to push a snowplow thru that infection on this state you call Austin. Enjoy that Lie you guys call “Tolerance”, Love & Inclusion. You don’t practice what you preach which means”Your” a Lie. Bye bottom feeder..🤣

Great video with a lot of information, thanks for sharing!
Really appreciate that and thank you for watching!
I have a friend who lives in Marble Falls and she says it is lovely there 😉👌💯
Marble Falls and the Horseshoe Bay area are fantastic! Stay tuned for a future video 😁🙌

Completely agree. This is a fantastic spot with a ton of opportunity! Thank you for the great feedback.
Fire your video editor. This was rough with the random insert b-roll that had nothing to do with what you are talking about.
Great video thanks

Is downtown the only area where the apartment buildings offer 7/24 Concierge service?

Much appreciated!
"Where You Should Live in Austin" and then literally didn't even mention anything in Austin. Maybe change title to "Where You Should Live outside of Austin".
The Austin MSA covers 5 counties. A quick Google of "Austin Metropolitan Statistical Area" will give you all the information you need.
this video is made for people over 50 that enjoy shopping at Ross and antique shops lol

So basically don’t live in Atx just around it
2222 is the most scenic road to take into Austin.
Such a pretty stretch!
Ate the Congress Lofts worth it?

Thanks for not dilutting the culture and enjoy your MAGA neighbors out there lol
"Move outside of austin and commute in!" Lady mention the traffic nightmare before you add to it
Not following your sentence... The Austin MSA covers 5 counties, so based on where people work, live, and play, there are going to be cars on the road and an increase in traffic in any growing city.
@@MovingATXif you've found a single traffic corridor that isn't congested, that'd be news to share with the mayor.

Its comical that Austin is considered a larger city than Atlanta😂😂😂

You talked about every part of the Austin metro area except the actual city of Austin 😫
Agreed... I live in Austin and there's a lot of great neighborhoods *in Austin* that people should check out
@15423 You should do a video!
I for one have no interest in living in a suburb of Austin. If I'm gonna be in the Austin metro area I want to be as close as possible to the actual fun stuff. I don't want to be driving 30 minutes one way to enjoy Austin.
Hopefully you clicked into the channel featuring numerous neighborhoods in Austin proper 😁
"Cedar fever" is year round here 👎🏿
Ahh, I feel for you! Thankfully, it hasn’t gotten me in all of these years
nah... Texas is closed. Go to New Mexico. They accept everyone without questions. And this person who's hosting this channel is not from Texas.
Not only am I from Texas, I’m a 6th generation born and raised 😁

You should NEVER move to Austin
Hello Rhonda! What makes you say that?
I agree, I spent 3 miserable years living in Austin. It’s nothing but an overblown college town, that seriously lacks any real culture, such as the arts, theater, pro sports, or quality dining.

Yes it's terrible that's why it's been the fastest growing city in America for years only finally recently slowing down a little
@@mrbillinsfWhere did you move to? I'm always interested in cities with real culture.
