Great video. We moved to Temple about a year ago for healthcare jobs. We wanted to be close to Austin without dealing with the traffic and crazy housing prices. Now we work here on weekdays and pretty much spend every Saturday in Austin.

Fire your video editor. This was rough with the random insert b-roll that had nothing to do with what you are talking about.

The north and south have a lot more traffic congestion and lower prices. The west has higher prices with less traffic. I guess that’s why you pay more money in those locations.

Thank you for watching and for the feedback! I wish the traffic wasn’t creeping into the hill country area, but it sure is. I suppose it makes sense, though, because it’s so pretty.

Great video with a lot of information, thanks for sharing!

[@MovingATX]

Really appreciate that and thank you for watching!

I have a friend who lives in Marble Falls and she says it is lovely there 😉👌💯

[@MovingATX]

Marble Falls and the Horseshoe Bay area are fantastic! Stay tuned for a future video 😁🙌

78745 is one of the best zip codes for average income working class people in Austin. Nice, well kept older neighborhoods made up mostly of ranch style homes from the 1970's and 80's. About 20 to 30 mins to downtown during rush hour. For Austin, it's good bargain compared to 78704.

[@MovingATX]

Completely agree. This is a fantastic spot with a ton of opportunity! Thank you for the great feedback.

Austin has horrible traffic patterns and, subsequently, horrible traffic experiences. "Live near work" is the best advice. Next, learn Lamar Blvd. This is a major 'retail artery' and runs from far north Austin to south Austin, crossing Austin's major east-west streets. Also, "North Austin" and "South Austin" require substantial drive-time to traverse. "Austin" and "North Austin" are often used interchangeably. "South Austin" only has one meaning - if someone says, "I live in Austin", there are likely living north of the river (ie, North Austin). In the past 10 years or so, "Southwest Austin" has been used to distinguish between "South Austin" from the Southwest/Oak Hill/Dripping Springs area. Zip codes are a useful 'cheat-sheet' to determine regions or neighborhoods in Austin. Living 'downtown' is a good location IF you can't live near work because all traffic patterns flow into Downtown during rush-hours (6am-10am; and 2-7pm). Downtown residences enjoy a surprisingly quiet day-light existence, with traffic, weekend and holiday 'noise' consuming evening hours. If you can't live near work, hopefully Work is near one of the major traffic arteries and you can live near that street (or highway). Near Lamar Blvd, for example; near MoPac. Near "183" - a highway. There is NO RELIEF for traffic issues. Austin has so many mis-located off- and on-ramps, always a large number of choke-points AND WORSE, they change street names 'mid-stream'... you only discover that thru experience. Or a friend to help.

Thank you for this detailed breakdown, Jeff! Certainly a ton of nuances to the Austin traffic patterns and the various locations. Thankfully, we're fortunate to have many other redeeming qualities throughout the city. 😁

2222 is the most scenic road to take into Austin.

[@MovingATX]

Such a pretty stretch!

[@andrevshimself]

Its comical that Austin is considered a larger city than Atlanta😂😂😂

[@MovingATX]

Hi Andre, are you referencing the list of the top 10 largest cities in the U.S.? If so, those are the based on city population and not the entire metro. Austin proper is about twice the population of the city of Atlanta. The metros are another story. Hope that helps.

"Where You Should Live in Austin" and then literally didn't even mention anything in Austin. Maybe change title to "Where You Should Live outside of Austin".

[@rhondajoyce6814]

You should NEVER move to Austin

[@MovingATX]

Hello Rhonda! What makes you say that?

[@Bareknuckles182]

From the rest of Texas, unless you’re an investor, don’t do it. The Austin of yesterday is long gone & with it the Glamour & freedom of speech..I’m glad I got out 10 yrs ago before it turned into a socialist love fest..
