About Austin, Texas:
🟢 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin,...
🟢 www.austintexas.org/
🟢 www.austintexas.gov/
"Austin is the capital city of the U.S. state of Texas, as well as the seat and largest city of Travis County, with portions extending into Hays and Williamson counties. Incorporated on December 27, 1839, it is the 11th-most populous city in the United States, the fourth-most-populous city in Texas, and the second-most-populous state capital city (after Phoenix, Arizona). It has been one of the fastest growing large cities in the United States since 2010. Austin is the southernmost state capital in the contiguous United States and is considered a "Beta −" global city as categorized by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network."
"As of the U.S. Census Bureau's July 1, 2019 estimate, Austin had a population of 978,908, up from 790,491 at the 2010 census. The city is the cultural and economic center of the Austin-Round Rock metropolitan statistical area, which had an estimated population of 2,295,303 as of July 1, 2020, roughly 84% increase from the year 2000. Located in Central Texas within the greater Texas Hill Country, it is home to numerous lakes, rivers, and waterways, including Lady Bird Lake and Lake Travis on the Colorado River, Barton Springs, McKinney Falls, and Lake Walter E. Long."
"Residents of Austin are known as Austinites. They include a diverse mix of government employees, college students, musicians, high-tech workers, digital marketers, and blue-collar workers. The city's official slogan promotes Austin as "The Live Music Capital of the World", a reference to the city's many musicians and live music venues, as well as the long-running PBS TV concert series Austin City Limits. The city also adopted "Silicon Hills" as a nickname in the 1990s due to a rapid influx of technology and development companies. In recent years, some Austinites have adopted the unofficial slogan "Keep Austin Weird", which refers to the desire to protect small, unique, and local businesses from being overrun by large corporations. Since the late 19th century, Austin has also been known as the "City of the Violet Crown", because of the colorful glow of light across the hills just after sunset."
"Austin, the southernmost state capital of the contiguous 48 states, is located in Central Texas on the Colorado River. Austin is 146 miles northwest of Houston, 182 miles south of Dallas and 74 miles northeast of San Antonio.
In 2010, the city occupied a total area of 305.1 square miles. Approximately 7.2 square miles of this area is water. Austin is situated at the foot of the Balcones Escarpment, on the Colorado River, with three artificial lakes within the city limits: Lady Bird Lake (formerly known as Town Lake), Lake Austin (both created by dams along the Colorado River), and Lake Walter E. Long that is partly used for cooling water for the Decker Power Plant. Mansfield Dam and the foot of Lake Travis are located within the city's limits. Lady Bird Lake, Lake Austin, and Lake Travis are each on the Colorado River."

Sounds like North Austin is for more conservative or people with kids. I’ve been to both and South Austin just seems more diverse and inclusive. I’m also a gay black man, so I prefer moving to an area where I would feel more comfortable. I actually watched your video on Georgetown and has planned a move there, however after talking to more people in Austin, it made more sense to move to SoCo instead. I’ll be moving in 4 weeks now!

[@LivingInAustinGroup]

Congratulations!! All about what’s right for YOU!

[@canonballz8346]

I’ve lived in south Austin for 7 years and now have a 5 year old kid. It ain’t bad either way but south of Austin is where the best bbq is in my opinion. North Austin is cool too, I can’t tell you anything about it but I’ve heard it’s cool

[@canonballz8346]

What I can tell you is Asians and Asian culture exist only in north Austin… dunno why, dunno how that worked out, but if you want decent Asian food you have to head north

[@tinamarie0701]

Been living in South Austin for 28 years...A lot has changed in Austin over time, but the rivalry between North and South is great....btw South is better! 😁

[@blaq2handle]

I moved to the North Austin area because of affordability and it reminds me of my hometown in Long Island, New York.

[@kjhuang]

How are you defining North Austin and South Austin? I always considered the dividing line to be the Colorado River, but since you included the Domain under North Austin but Downtown Austin under South Austin, it sounds like you're setting the line at US 183.
During my Austin years I lived in what was usually considered North Austin (near Burnet north of 183). I initially moved to there because of affordability, but eventually I was glad to live there and didn't want to leave. Yes, there is more to do in South Austin and I usually went to South Austin or Downtown to have fun (thankfully my location was pretty good and it wasn't too far). And I did like the more funky and diverse crowd that came with South Austin. That being said, a lot of the transplants I met were from other parts of Texas so I still got to meet native Texans.
But at the end of the day, while I liked to play in South Austin, I still preferred living in North Austin. North Austin felt nicer. The streets were wider, there was more of an open feel, it was less dense and crowded, there was more parking, and the terrain was flatter which I liked. South Austin is hillier and more woodsy, which I'm not a big fan of in terms of where I live.

ONE POSTIVE IF YOU ARE 62 YOU CAN FREEZE YOUR TAXES ,,ACTUALLY YOU DO NOT PAY ANY TAXES ON SCHOOLS,IT HELPS AND HOMESTEAD YOUR HOME ! NANCY IN AUSTIN

[@zeffke008]

do you guys also help with renting?

[@yadianhernandez1509]

So if I’m moving from Miami with my new born and want something family oriented not so expensive? I was thinking north of Austin

[@swedeinla]

What about rental prices, North vs South?

[@LivingInAustinGroup]

Fairly comparable! If it’s south, more expensive if you’re in downtown. If you’re north, more expensive if it’s a “luxury” or fancy complex. Otherwise, prices aren’t too different between the two.

[@dante5622]

I want to live where all my favorite restaurants and jobs are. Keep Texas Red.

[@Dblup]

Make Texas Blue. ☺️

[@eckankar7756]

HATE the annoying background music...why do you need it? We're on our computers listening to our own music.

[@DM22479]

Who wants to “scooter” anywhere. Get a real bike.

[@howellwong11]

I lived in north central Austin just west of Hyde Park. Best neighborhood with young families and near to everything. I am surrounded by Liberals which mystifies me.

[@ericebner4754]

Dude don't get it. People/visitors/re-locators. He doesn't know a thing. North Austin guy. Love the non-existent 'south Austin.' Keep moving north people! Us here (south of Slaughter) don't mind ;~) We like our Mexicans and musicians and generally being "off the map." Old Austin didn't die... it just moved South.

[@LivingInAustinGroup]

We love old Austin. Keep it alive for us! This video is mainly highlighting the criteria for people who are coming from out of state with their children, based on frequent questions we get. 👍🏼

[@tnnsboy18]

@Eric, 100% agree with you, this guy has no idea what he's talking about... he's in his safe place around the domain HAHA, he couldn't make it here in S. Austin ;D

[@alexJohnson9119]

Going to have? Thumbs down.
