Anyone here live in the Eastern outskirts of Austin?
Thanks for the replies guys. I figured things would be expensive. People moving in that sold places in their fomer homes, then having high paying jobs are going to drive up prices. What was shocking to me though were the property taxes. One of those small houses on a lot that's not even a quarter acre is on the hook for over $6000 a year.
I guess a very good salary offsets that, but it still seems wrong some how. I think the biggest deal for me would be traffic/congestion. I'm in a very rural area of central Pennsylvania right now. I do have a 30 minute drive into work, but there's really no traffic. I'm moving the whole time except for one light which if I'm not the first car at, I'm second or third. I actually like my drive into work right now.
I guess that's why I'm asking. Trying to weight the pro and cons. I appreciate the honesty.
