Moved to Pflugerville two years ago, after having lived in Austin since 1973. Don't regret the move, as Austin has become so expensive over the last 15 years. It generally takes 20-30 minutes to get to central Austin from where I live. It takes about the same amount of time to get to Georgetown via I-35. It's also close to a lot of hiking / cycling trails, both paved and single track (such as Brushy Creek).
I would probably add 15 to 30 minutes driving time to all those times that you said and I would also add about 200,000 to the price of the houses that you were mentioning I live in Lago Vista but I've lived around Austin since 1968 I've had a lot of experience living around here and seen lots of changes
I'm am retired and live a short distance from downtown Austin. I really don't need to be close to downtown. I just needed a nice neighborhood, close to a heart hospital and a high end super market.
Advantage of pflugerville is first is its own city so we have a solid policing second it's about as close to get to downtown as any other suburb if not closer and with the new 130 toll it's quick to get to the airport finally if you want a somewhat peaceful quiet place it's got a few nice places to eat and still be able to commute into deeper Austin pflugerville is a good choice it also has good schools. Many of the places he lists you cannot get to downtown in less than half an hour like you can from pflugerville
Would you say that w/in a 1/2 hour drive from North Austin, that Round Rock is the most like Austin proper in terms of not just Big Box, but also independent establishments? If not, which of these 10 are most like Austin in that regard?
San Marcos is becoming less of a College Town but still is one. More than half of the town is Texas State Students and local politics does cater mostly to them, though as the empty spaces are filled by housing developments this will change. also note like 80% of Apartments are student apartments so when looking to rent make sure to take a good look at the listing
@@MeadowDay what is wrong with Texas…..yada yada…No state income tax…….other states like Florida have much lower property taxes and NO STATE INCOME TAX….does your idiot governor and his corrupt cronies steal all your tax $$$$$ ?
question about being happy that the housing prices in taylor will appreciate and people will be happy….. doesn’t that mean the property tax goes up and could become unaffordable for the homeowner? -question from californian
I heard that Pflugerville and some surrounding areas have "mud" districts and water can be really expensive. Can anyone tell me what this is and is it something you stay away from?
We we were going to buy in Bastrop until we found out that Elin Musk is building a Tesla Factory and a worker “utopia” for 10k people….I feel sorry for Bastrop. It’s going to be a new east side san jose ca
Elon Musk is building a small town that will do nothing to our home prices here in Bastrop. Not really sure what you’re talking about!? I’m glad it was left off the list as we want to keep our beautiful city of Bastrop Texas red! Keep your California asses out of here!
Awful place. Only live here because I have no choice. Of course N Austin is way better than S Austin as it is completely corporate so it doesn't have that Austin flavor/stink.

Do you have children? What do you think about the schools?
Yea….but your governor is one corrupt wanna be dictator…..good luck Texans ..
Schools are pretty good here it's its own city so it has its own police force and generally is very safe
If your dog ran away, you could see him days later. Absolutely gold 😂
Problem with Lago Vista is that there is no direct highway. You are on a county road for most of the way to get to the highway.
Matter of time till that road is a freeway or toll road.
Thanks for the high quality contents!! Can you also add property tax rates for those places you mentioned? Appreciate your help!!
Thank you so much for this video! :)
Great video. The commuting time is the most issue stopping people from going away from Austin. Austin really lacks some good loops in the greater area
Great video

Thank You for sharing you are awesome!
Happy to be of help!
Can you guys do a video on best places near Austin if you want lots of land
No mention of Jarrell it’s growing rapidly, new elementary school, new men’s high end barber shop. And new construction homes around mid 350k
Manor!!! Is an awesome little suburb.
San Marcos is becoming less of a College Town but still is one.

Are the PROPERTY TAXES better in the suburbs ?
No
@@MeadowDay what is wrong with Texas…..yada yada…No state income tax…….other states like Florida have much lower property taxes and NO STATE INCOME TAX….does your idiot governor and his corrupt cronies steal all your tax $$$$$ ?
New construction suburbs will have highest property tax and often a MUD tax too.
@@SOLDOZER BUYER BEWARE …..
Looking for a safe place with a university ( business major) and a high school. Any recommendations?
Officially full,sorry folks...try new mexico.
which nightlife area in austin is walkable and has reasonably cheaper homes. I am looking to move!, Rent first 6 months and then buy
question about being happy that the housing prices in taylor will appreciate and people will be happy….. doesn’t that mean the property tax goes up and could become unaffordable for the homeowner?

Not sure about the mud, but my water bill is 100 a month consistently here in Pflugerville. Also there's a shit load of calcium in the water.
Municiple Utility District. You're going to have MUD tax on top of property tax.
Yes! Manor property taxes are like 3%!!
What about Bastrop?
timestamps pls
A very green town. Move in now. It will be a short time before everything you want will be there.
Leander schools are actually not that great, especially compared to surrounding towns, even Liberty Hill.
How's Bastrop?
We we were going to buy in Bastrop until we found out that Elin Musk is building a Tesla Factory and a worker “utopia” for 10k people….I feel sorry for Bastrop. It’s going to be a new east side san jose ca

Come to Taylor! Great town vibe, diverse, and affordable! We love it since moving into town in 2021 ✨❤️🏳️🌈
Go back to California
I would love more info from you since you live there. Lmk if I can send you my info! Me and my fiance are LGBTQ and want out of Dallas awfully bad.
Who gives a flip about diversity! I dont want to live near "diversity"
Also don't forget boring bastrop now that Elon has moved in it's going to boom but that's more an investment than somewhere I'd want to live
Awful place. Only live here because I have no choice. Of course N Austin is way better than S Austin as it is completely corporate so it doesn't have that Austin flavor/stink.
Go back to California.
Dont encourage those ppl from the west coast n northern plains states
Lots of good info Texas ain’t. Cheap
