I have another thread about moving soon. Anybody here presently live (or very recently live) in Austin?
Below are my present notes. Any additional pros and cons?
Would a single guy that makes $120K per yr, no kids, no debt be able to comfortably live in the heart of downtown Austin in a nice/luxury type apartment building? Would want to rent a large 1BR with a den type space for computer desk (work from home). Low $2K per month rent knowing all the extras will bring it around $2,500. Realistic or pipe dream?
- Austin, TX: livable and walkable downtown, great weather, much more than just a college town. Not cowboy Texas, more metropolitan Texas. Beautiful women. Festivals, electronic music and contemporary art. A blend of modern skyscrapers and green outdoors. Likely pretty expensive these days with the influx of California residents. Best spots are West 6th St (more upscale, clubby spots) or East 6th St (the other side of I35, more hip and laid back, kinda Brooklynish. Avoid mid-6th St...too young/Bourbon St party)
