might be moving to austin!
 

hey guys, my names james. currently, i live in little rock, AR. my gf has the oppurtunity to take a regional job for whole foods, located in austin.

we're looking for suggestions for things such as apartment complex's, what area's to avoid, which areas are safe...ect. if you guys can offer any suggestions for us, that would be great! our price range for housing is about 650 a month or so, and i would (obviously) like to have covered/indoor parking for the S.

thanks

james

its been around 5 to 6 years since i lived in austin, but the I think the far west area between mopac and hwy 360 is a really great, safe, and affordable region to live! I have alot of friends that live in that area and they love it!
I used to live around westlake and hwy 360 it was pretty pricey, but a great area!!
Hopefully some people actually living in austin can be more helpful!

Whole Foods is a great company! I wish both of you the best of luck!
You'll Love Texas! Especially Austin!
Welcome Welcome!!

Since I'm a Realtor, I'm not legally permitted to point you in one direction of town or another, but I can tell you that finding covered or garage parking for your car as well as housing for $650 will be difficult, if not impossible, to find :(

Austin proper can be expensive to live, you might look into communities near Austin for more affordable housing, Good luck and welcome to Texas!

welcome if you do come

Welcome, and be prepared to either increase your housing budget or lower your standards. Austin is the most expensive major city in TX, and for good reason!

haha as u come, i leave. I love Austin but I got a great job opportunity in California. You'll love it here! :-)

Yeah, so I've heard. I'm on the northwest side of San Antonio and I'm paying $762/mo for my 1bdrm 667sq.ft. apartment with a garage and it's of decent quality ($670 w/o a garage).

hey, thanks for the help guys. right now we're most likely gonna hold of on re-locating. just got too much goin on right now. but, we both want to move eventually, and the help you guys provided means alot!

thanks

james

hey man me and a couple other s200 live in wells branch i mean i have never had a problem for my two bedroom apartment with a covered garage i pay like 675 a month and the area is really nice and my best friend that live up the road his wife works at whole foods so if you want more info pm me

WOAH... Does this sound like a twisted love triangle or what??? "my bf that live up the road his wife works at whole foods"

Your boyfriend's wife works at Whole Foods?

Wow....

bf = best friend, fags :p

I concur that $650 for an aprt with a garage isn't very realistic. maybe you can find a roommate and split a house?

lol, well bf typically goes with gf for boyfriend/girlfriend. :D

wow you guys are so grown up best friend is also bf what are you in high school my best friend that lives up the road i have know him sence the 1st grade

ok it wasnt you guys basically calling me gay like three post ago
i think this is what you posted
"I hope that was a typo in their post."

bestfriend = bf = boyfriend its all the same! lol and PLUS who cares.

<sarcasm>Lazy bums and your abbreviations!</sarmcasm>

Why can't we all just get along. :D How about we start over, Hi James! I'm Chris. Hopefully you might change your mind and move to Austin and have some fun with the great locals around here. See you around!

Since you've known him since the 1st grade, could he be your BFF? :D

lol thats good!

:rofl:

:LOL: funny...I live in round rock and im about to snag (hopefully) a two bedroom with a garage for 835/month in some real nice apts. It depends on where the market is at and if you find a good deal good luck and welcome! :hello:

wow. not funny

:rofl: @ the quotes in that sig!

I recommend most anywhere in NW Austin off 183.
