I've been looking at general real estate prices, and even with Austin, its interesting how once you leave the city limits, prices drop incredibly.
Austin does seem a little more expensive than Dallas, but Dallas also has incredible neighborhoods where houses 2+ million are present. For some reason North Dallas seems to be where its at.
Houston I believe also has some hot spots of rich locations, and I've noticed not all locations of wealth are concentrated. You have some spots that seem to be pricey, and others not so.
Also noticed that "north" tends to be the nice neighborhoods, and South tends to be dumpy (Houston). But in general, anything North tends to be good for some reason in multiple cities. What is it about North locations...
Spoke to a fella at Home Depot who use to live in Friendswood Texas, and he said avoid Houston if possible. Crime is higher there for some reason.
Possibly Austin is worth the price increase and cost of living if it means less crime...
