Austin is a great place to live for so many reasons! The culture, the food and the nightlife are all part of the draw but here are a few things you should take into consideration before you plan a big move.
Austin is hot. If you’re not accustomed to hot weather, you’re in for a shock in Austin. You’ll need to have your car heat sealed and your hair de-frizzed so keep that in mind before you purchase a home.
Utilities are scattered. Just because you live in Austin doesn’t mean you’ll contact an Austin water company to get set up. For example, there are electric companies in garland tx that service all the way out to Austin, so do the research before you show up in town.
Texans speak differently. If you’re not from Texas and particularly not from the South, keep in mind that people here have a drawl. You may not understand what “Y’all” or “Yeehaw” means at first but after a few weeks you’ll be speaking like a native!
