I'm looking to move to TX from NYC. I have never been to TX. I might buy a 2 bedroom condo and pay that off in 5 years or something and then buy a home around 400K.... something like that... right now we're looking into San Antonio and Houston. Can a Texan or someone that's been around TX recommend a good place to live in TX and why? We want to get away from New York. We're used to a very urban lifestyle and even Houston would feel like a rural area to us... but we want a change... Any thoughts??? What's the best place in TX to move? & why?

(money isn't an issue.. so please don't use that as a reason... because moving from Manhattan to ANYWHERE in TX seems cheap.. ha)

Answer
PLEASE don't go to Houston! It is horribly polluted, the traffic and the drivers horrendous, plus it is still overrun with hurricane katrina refugees, so housing can be tricky to find. i'm born and raised in Texas and lived in many different places in the state. If you are set on only San Antonio or Houston, than definitely San Antonio. But, San Antonio is quickly turning into an inner-city city, and will be as bad as Houston within 10 years tops. Why are you wanting to move to Texas? what are you hoping to find? texas land is as varied as you can get. There are mountains, desert, ocean, hills, plains, and canyons. In each of those settings there are wonderful places to live. If money was no option, and it was up to me, I would live in San Marcos. It's close to San Antonio, so it's large enough to have all of the conveniences I would think you would want. It's close enough to international airports so travel is easy. The local economy has been steady and very successful. It has it's cultural quaintness that gives it a small town feel, without having to suffer any changes in your lifestyle. plus, the highways are great! Hope that helps, and be prepared to have everyone make fun of you accent! lol =)
p.s. no, i don't live there lol
