Austin is the Silicon Hills

Austin is a city where opportunities are endless. The ability to find good-paying jobs, in addition to being home to some of the most vibrant startup culture around, makes it one of Texas’ favorite travel destinations.

Austin has been called "Silicon Hills" because it attracts entrepreneurs from all over who are looking for new ventures and big name companies alike.

 

High Paychecks and Low Cost of Living

Austin is a great place to live if you're looking for good jobs and an affordable cost of living. It also has high salaries without the need to spend all your money on food or housing, which many people like myself come from other big cities like San Diego where prices are higher than what they were before moving out here!

  • Median income of $74,860
  • No state income tax
  • Average 1-bedroom rent of $1,068
  • Inexpensive essentials, such as groceries and gas
  • Public transport pass for just $60

 

Diversity is Lively Here

 

Austin offers a lot of choices for those looking to move. Whether you want city life with its diverse population and numerous housing options, or if family-friendly neighborhoods will suit your needs best; Austin has it all!

 Downtown ATX: Austin’s downtown area is the center of a vibrant entertainment and dining culture, but it also offers upscale condos for those looking to make their home in this city. In addition to being within walking distance from everything you could want as an Angelenos - there's great shopping at your fingertips!

East ATX: East Austin is a hot spot for those looking to live life in the fast lane and explore both new cultures. The area has recently transformed itself into one of the most diverse areas not just because it's home, but also close by downtown attractions like museums that offer an array of culture that will appeal to anyone no matter their taste or age!

West ATX: West Austin is a beautiful part of the city, located in country. The greenery and lushness that this area has provides for an ideal lifestyle with access to great schools as well as golf clubs just minutes away from your doorstep!

 

 

The Weather

Austin’s weather is so consistently beautiful, that 7 months of the year have an average high in the perfect 70s. The only season which might dismay some people is summer when it can top 100 degrees with lows around or below-70 up until October returns! Even then you'll be able to enjoy central air and ice cream while swimming through your pool just a few more weeks before fall arrives again for another round of great outdoor activities like apple picking at nearby vendor booths on Congress Ave., football tailgating under oak trees by Darrell K Royal Arboretum & Botanical Gardens.

 

The Food

You can find a wide variety of cuisine here in the city. Tex-Mex food is a given, but you can also enjoy superior food from some of the following businesses:

  • Barbecue
  • Uchi (A sushi restaurant)
  • James Beard Award winners, such as Launderette and Barley Swine
  • Japanese restaurants
  • Food trucks
  • Cheesesteaks
  • Delectable desserts
  • And more
