Rollingwood

• Suburb of Austin, TX
• 1

Current Resident: Rollingwood is a neat little suburb right outside of downtown Austin near Zilker park. All of our neighbors are very friendly, but the community vibe could be stronger with more sidewalks. However, as our city, complete with a mayor, is 400 houses, the police are very reliable. Overall, the location could not be better as I am able to walk to Zilker Park and the running trail on my days off, or for ACL Music Festival, an increasing popular music festival in October.

West Lake Hills

• Suburb of Austin, TX
• 3

Current Resident: West Lake Hills in Austin is hands down the most beautiful place in Austin to live. The scenery is breathtaking with all the hills and water! It really encourages you to go outdoors and find activities to do. The only thing I would change is the traffic in the mornings and evenings during rush hour. It can get pretty congested on 360 during those times.

Cedar Park

• Suburb of Austin, TX
• 201

Current Resident: Cedar Park is an amazing city to live in. It is very family friendly and has many parks for all ages to enjoy. It is conveniently located right outside of Austin which provides ample opportunities to attend concerts, cool events, and really experience the downtown area (without having to endure the downtown traffic everyday). Cedar Park is very safe and a great place to start a family. The public schools in the area are very high quality with amazing teachers and staffs! I would highly recommend this area to any family who is looking for fun, safe, and an overall great place to live!

Shady Hollow

• Suburb of Austin, TX
• 7

Current Resident: Shady Halloween is calm, full of people who care. If they see something suspicious, they will report it. If people are driving in the neighborhood streets, the people outside will wave.
The only downfall is that it is all connected to a heavily trafficked road. There aren't enough lanes, lights, or stop signs to help the people get on the main road from the side roads without risking someone running you over

Lakeway

• Suburb of Austin, TX
• 25

Current Resident: Lakeway is a great place to grow up, its only ever a ten minute drive to the lake and there is a good amount to do in and around lakeway. On the lake you can boat, paddle board, or zip line, and if the water is not for you the galleria, a mini shopping mall, is only a fifteen minute drive away. There is much to do for children and the schools are top in the state and have a great staff that encourages growth, creativity, and learning. The commute to Austin is only 30 minutes, and there are many inexpensive things to do in Austin. Overall Lakeway is the perfect place to be any age!

Pflugerville

• Suburb of Austin, TX
• 154

Current Resident: Here in Pflugerville Texas, there are so many opportunities for an individual to grow and become a part of such a welcoming community! After a month of getting settled in my two jobs, I was already impacted by the tight-nit community. Being in the fast food industry I quickly made day-to-day interactions with lovely and homely customers. Within In-N-Out Burger's grand opening, I was invited to the private Pre-Opening Party and was even allowed free admission with my family to the event which concluded free food and hosting the City Council officials. I was proud to have been a new employee to the community and that my company was hosting this incredible event. From the fun-filled family water park, Hawaiian Falls, to all the popular jam-packed seats at the Friday night Varsity football games, Pflugerville is the place to be. I am not only proud to have made this decision, but definitely put forth the effort to continue to grow our community into a close-packed family.

Leander

• Suburb of Austin, TX
• 126

Current Resident: Sadly you don't say Leander is where you live when people ask, because well, no one has heard of it. Instead you say North of Austin and people nod because even the geographically challenged can point to Austin given a map of Texas. Leander is where I grew up, same street, same house, exact same bedroom. Leander has brought me so much joy, but sadly not everyone has felt that same joy. One major problem in Leander is the suicide rate in teens. To fix this problem we need to randomly pull kids and talk to them about their lives. They need to know that people care, that they are not alone.

Wells Branch

• Suburb of Austin, TX

Current Resident: Wells Branch is a relatively small but bustling neighborhood in far North Austin/Travis County that provides a variety of housing from single family homes to multi-family apartment communities, a large well-maintained park with beautifully landscaped walking trails and ponds, swimming pools, its own Municipal Utility District, restaurants and organized events. I've lived here for over eight years and have really enjoyed the time - it's become "home" for me. I enjoy the people, have raised a small family of pets and the neighbors have become good friends and I have gone through many moments of my life here in nearly a decade.

Dripping Springs

• Town in Texas
• 19

Nearby Resident: Dripping Springs is just south of Austin, Texas. It is a wonderful place to raise a family. We've found everyone we meet to be so friendly and welcoming and up for conversations! There are several housing developments which give you that neighborhood feel or you can look for land and get that country vibe. The majority of people have the "take me as I am" personality, most dress in jeans and cowboy boots or casual sweats/yoga pants. The town is all about supporting local establishments, which means great restaurants, boutiques and several wineries, distilleries and breweries.

Lago Vista

• Town in Texas

Former Resident: I grew up living in Lago Vista and its a beautiful small town. From the sunsets, the lake, the close nit community its a great town. It's a town I loved growing up in, its about 45 minutes outside the austin city limits so if you are ever looking for activities to do you most likely have to drive to the cedar park or austin area. I would like to see Lago Vista to add more food options and activities perhaps a movie theater but still keep it as a small close nit community. I would not change growing up in Lago Vista.

Buda

• Suburb of Austin, TX
• 15

Current Resident: It is a small town outside of Austin, Texas. It has grown more in the last ten years and is steadily growing. The commute to downtown Austin is about a 30-45 minute drive. I personally went to school in that area. School system is very well put together. Public schools are very modernized and relatively new. I feel very safe during the day but at night I have come across several different incidents. I believe because everyone tends to be home pretty early and so the new people see it as an opportunity to get away with crime. Traffic is never bad and it is easy to get around. Buda does have several public parks in a close range that are very family friendly. I have been to several events that were held at the parks. The town is overall very friendly.

I moved to Hutto due to its affordability (we are a six person household), school ranking were above average, the safe/diverse community, and the close proximity to other cities/jobs/entertainment. Over time, Hutto has only gotten better. We now have a Hutto HEB Plus, improvements to the local park/roads, and new homes/businesses going up on a regular basis!

While not an ideal location for young adults - no real nightlife - it abounds in quality for those who enjoy the peace, safety, and security of knowing the police force by name and your neighbors.
