Love living here, because it makes me feel relaxed, and laid back as well as a bit safer due to it being further away from the city, and has very beautiful parks, and I live just 20 mins away from Bastrop which is AMAZING, due to the fact Buccees is there as well! Best convenience store ever! I would highly recommend living here, if you rather be in more of a country area, rather than the city. Elgin, is meant for some of the BEST BBQ in town, and I would agree upon that as well! Everything here, makes you feel at home, and feel more of yourself, rather than feeling out of everything! I would say, if you want to move here, find an area that is affordable, and more like you rather than what’s not for you. This will help you, to understand that not everywhere, you decide to move to will be the same. Everywhere you go, would be way way different! Choose where you live, wisely so that you can be happier than ever before, without regretting it later on down the road! Elgin is a MUST
I love the tight-knit community here in Elgin as it has many opportunities for their growing student. In this small town, many people have come together to better the community in this struggling time. Elgin also provides many opportunities with jobs as their are many restaurants available for jobs. Most citizens wear masks and now, the community is making strides as Elgin recently has started to create more neighborhoods near schools.
Elgin has the highlights of a small town without having to go far out of the way. The downtown area has multiple shops and dining options that represents the area well such as The Owl and Double R Hat Company. Along with this, there is beautiful countryside to view while in the area.
