I lived here for a quite awhile and had an awesome time, lots of people in their 20s http://www.riata.com/www.riata.com/intro.html
dude the hometown is in my heart, and of course the Rockets, and i do visit often. however, there is stuff I don't miss. I-10 is one of them. Plus there are plenty of Houstonians here in Austin, they just don't want to move back
I just don't understand your hyping of a hometown hero when you don't even live in that hometown. But I kid...I'm going to end up back in Austin one day.
we both have HISD in our hearts! no private school or Fort Bend stuff They need to transplant some more restaurants from H-Town up here. they'd make so much money.
ACC will be online for the most part, I'm going to Health Sciences. I know thats more over by the airport unfortunately... Work I haven't found yet, but I won't be moving there till next May. I'm in Marketing, Design, and Advertising for now...
I see an apartment off East Riverside in your future... Just kidding. Well, not entirely. You're going to have a heck of a time finding an $800 apartment where you want to live. (you'll figure out where you want to live after checking out Austin a bit better) Have you considered a roommate? (may have missed this from someone else) If you split the rent, that opens up a host of areas where you could park yourself. Austin is a great city, a really cool place, even with all the growth, but it is also very expensive when it comes to renting or buying a house or apartment, compared to most of the state. Good luck.
huh? I lived in Austin for several years up until 2005/2006, and the last apartment I lived at was my own 1-bedroom place over 700 sq feet, off of Duval and Mopac...which is basically the Arboretum area. and it was only $700-something a month have prices drastically changed the past 1-2 years?
Yeah, that sounds about right to me... I mean it's all about location, then size, then how new it is. I can find a good $150 a month difference within just a 5 mile radius of where I currently live, for very silimiar floorplans/sq. footage...
i think you should check out the Riata (arboretum). its got a staffed gym, computer center, basketball court, volleyball court, community activities also. http://www.riata.com/www.riata.com/sub_news/newsletters/2007.09/default.asp each month they have some restaurants come in and do some presentations, and have free food.
I could be way off. I had a friend looking for places recently, and they were all surprisingly expensive, but he was looking for fairly upscale place. Just disregard it my post.
call them, there are different villages, i lived in the second cheapest village. i paid about $700-$800 for a one bedroom. they usually have some special for 13 month or 7 month leases.
$700-$800?!? That would cost over a grand here easy! wow... How many miles or minutes from downtown is that? 15?
give them a call and ask. 15-20minutes, you hop on 183 and take mopac straight to downtown. oh, AVOID any places near I-35, worst traffic highway in austin.
