Question by amber: dallas vs austin. Thinking of relocating so we can live life outdoors and do something other than shop & eat?
I moved to Mckinney in north DFW almost 3 years ago from the San Francisco area. We are looking at moving to Austin next year. My husbands travels for a living so we can relocate anywhere in Texas. I like Dallas and its been great for the education and the people, but i just cant find the outdoor activities that i truely love. How is the Austin suburbs for raising a family and living life outdoors? I would love any insight that you might have.

If you are financially secure, this would be a great place to live (if you’re unemployed, this is not the best time to move here). I actually went to CA for college but came back home shortly after when my family was small (my kid was about 3), because it’s such a good place to raise children.
The cost of living is reasonable and there is a lot going on, but not so much that it’s a huge bustling metropolis like Houston or Dallas… and a lot of activities are outdoor-focused (parks, trails, lakes, etc.). If you want to be in the suburbs, you’d do well to aim south (Buda, Kyle, south Austin) instead of north to Round Rock, NW Hills or Wells Branch… the south end is MUCH closer to town and all the fun things to do, it’s less developed so it feels more authentic and airy, and of course you get a lot more for your money. It’s also more convenient to the airport if your husband will be flying out a lot. I’ve lived north and south, and vastly prefer being down south.
