Maybe moving, where in Austin is good? - 02-01-2008, 05:19 AM


hey, all you Austinites, i may soon be moving into the area from DFW , and the job I'd be getting is in northside, a little west of Pfleurgerville. Just wanted to know if i can get some idea as to where to start looking for a house to rent or buy, as i need space for the dogs and cats. Looking to stay under $1000/mo in rent/mortgage.

Any ideas or other pertinent advice appreciated!

Anthony

Theres plenty of very nice areas around Pflugerville as well as Round Rock (just to the north of Pville). Depending on how big you want, rent isnt too bad. When we rented the house we are in right now we were looking at 4bdrm houses and they were anywhere from $1200-$1400 a month. Im sure you should be able to find a 3bdrm for under $1K with no problems.

Drew's advice is good. I'd also say that anything on 1431 between I35 and highway 183 is good too. Lots and lots of new stuff along that corridor. 1431 is an easy drive currently.

Good buys in Hutto now as well, just east of Round Rock, north of Pflugerville, and right by the 130 toll road for easy north & south access, makes getting to Austin or the airport pretty easy.

Cedar Park north of Hwy. 620 and east of Hwy. 183 is not far from your job, but low prices.
