County in Texas
Current Resident: Travis County lies in the heart of Texas and encompasses different city municipalities like Austin, Lakeway, Beecave, manor, and Pflugerville. The social dynamic is different than the rest of Texas as Austin enjoys a unique eclectic vibe and hosts a number of musicians. Enough Musicians to be known as the ground zero of music in the world. People from around the world and the U.S. visit Austin to attend numerous events like ACL music festival. However, the county had experienced a population boom since 2014 and this requires keeping up with the infrastructure and traffic control.... Read 66 reviews

Current Resident: I have enjoyed living in Collin County for the last few years. It has many places with diverse and amazing places to experience exquisite cuisines. Moreover, this place is excellent for anyone wanting to live considering it is the seventh most populous county in Texas. Specifically, Mckinney, a city in Collin County, is one of the safest areas to live in the entire country. There many opportunities for people to find jobs in this county.... Read 55 reviews

Junior: I started attending ILTexas in 8th grade, and it's been an amazing thing to have teachers that have seen me grow. The academics were kind of rusty until about this year, we didn't have good academic programs, but now that the school has been established for a few years, it's gotten much better. Something Aggieland HS has that's different than CSISD is that we go an hour later to fit in an extra class- Chinese Class. Personally I hate it because we don't get out until after 4, but I enjoy learning Chinese, Spanish, and English at the same time. Currently, there aren't a lot of AP classes that are offered, so if that's something important to you, I would take that into consideration. Aggieland HS offers virtual learning as well, so if it's better to learn virtual you have access to virtual classrooms. Overall, I appreciate this school for helping me grow as a person, and encouraging me to challenge myself and grow as a person.... Read 2 reviews

Current Resident: Love it! Denton is just like a mini-Austin, minus the insane cost of living ;). Everywhere feels like a small college town, with a really comfortable feel. As there are two colleges in the heart of Denton, the college students make the town. As you travel outside of Denton, the land becomes more sparse and more urbanized, especially in the east towards Frisco, Plano, and Dallas. You can either feel at home in the heart of Denton, apart of a big city in Prosper, and in the small-town feel of Krum and Ponder.... Read 112 reviews

Current Resident: I moved from a very small hometown to Dallas. I love living here because there are so many nearby restaurants, there are so many family activities, new places for adventures. Beautiful roof top restaurants. These restaurants and downtown have been my favorite. There are homeless people around that make it a little uncomfortable and make you feel un secure.

Current Resident: I like Montgomery County for the most part. Taxes are cheaper here than other counties. The police respond to emergencies in a timely manner and non-emergencies as well, though, of course, not so much in a "timely" manner as emergencies. Police officers will actually stop to help someone stopped on the side of the road with car problems. Not all are good 'ole boys, but not all are corrupt either. There are excellent places to dine whether you're one looking for a cheap or a five-star dinner. You can boat on Lake Conroe, ride jet skis or just swim at the park. There are quite a few antique shops in Conroe, Montgomery (the city), other little towns that make up Montgomery County. The people are very welcoming and Lone Star Cowboy Church in Montgomery is the best church to attend, hands down, especially if you are a rodeo fanatic! Look 'em up on lonestar.tv. You can watch them live or watch pre-recorded sermons. This county has a country feel and is comprised of southern hospitality.... Read 152 reviews

Current Resident: I've lived in this area most of my life. The neighborhoods are well taken care of, the crime rate is low to average, and the schools are all very good. It's an area with people from every walk of life, who will more than likely greet you with a smile wherever you go. While there are many things to do and places to go, the nightlife and entertainment industries here could use a boost. Cost of living is the highlight of this area, however. The real estate is beautiful, and you can get a nice home for a fraction of what you'd pay in most cities. This is also a wonderful place to raise a family, as there are many places that cater to children, and plenty of kids' clubs and activities to choose from, especially when it comes to sports. Overall, I really enjoy living here and raising my son here!... Read 16 reviews

Current Resident: Lubbock is a great town for students. I moved here to attend college at Texas Tech University and was pleasantly surprised at how affordable, convenient, and simplistic it is. Most places are student-friendly, some even with student discounts, and the amount of Texas Tech spirit among the entire town is so fun and uplifting! The streets and highways are organized so well that it's hard to get lost. You can almost always recognize what area you're in/what direction you're going based on the name or number of the street. It saved me a lot of trouble when I first moved here and didn't know my way around yet! In addition to all of the ease of living in Lubbock, I have never felt unsafe here. There are emergency signal "towers" all around campus as well as an active police presence, which makes me feel much better when walking around by myself. Not only on campus, but there is a courtesy officer living at every apartment complex that I toured. I would highly recommend living here!... Read 151 reviews

We are pleased to have the larger chain of retailers and restaurants as a large city. Our historic downtown square is very unique and makes you feel as though you have stepped back in time to a slower more retro time.

Parent: My kids have been attending Basis since before the pandemic, and we are so impressed! Rich academic curriculum, good inclusion of the arts, excellent opportunity for differentiation based on student needs. The teachers are dedicated and so are the parents to the kids' success. While the administration has been bumpy as the school has gotten established (only 5 years old), they earned their stripes during the pandemic. Organized, safety-focused and diligent about communication. We supplement school with sports leagues and scouting outside of school, which many parents do. Easy to do given the extensive choice you have in the DC area. Also appreciate the international study body with impressively bright students from all over the world. A real meritocracy, unlike other private schools that admit based on VIP status or connections/donations. In the next few years, this school will only continue to advance its place in the rankings.... Read 53 reviews
