May I know why you choose Austin over Houston? What are the pros & cons of these 2 cities? Thx!
Austin is more vibrant, diverse, and liberal compared to Houston. It's the state capital, the biggest college town in the nation, and the music center of TX. It offers more outdoor activities because Lake Travis and Lake Austin, and it's in Hill Country area. Houston is just one big flat land. Residents in Austin seems to be a lot more health conscious too.
However, because of that the living cost in Austin is relatively high, and the housing market is quite competitive. Also, the traffic seems to be worse than Houston.
The only thing that Houston wins over Austin would be having a China Town or Asian towns, more affordable housing.
Overall, both cities will be on the top choices if you choose to live in TX. Dallas will be the third as it is the largest telecommunication hub in the country, so the job market is strong. However, the weather is a bit too extreme, it can get brutally hot in the summer, then you got snow in winter.
I never mind the rain from the sky, as long as I have the sun in your eyes~
