Round Rock is much nicer and taxes are so much lower than Austin, total housing costs are lower.
thanks for that. I know\knew nothing about taxes comparison-wise.
I know it depends where in austin proper you live.
My daughter’s husband owned a home in an older area of austin where houses were small and older and 3 bedrooms with either a carport or a detached garage. Grand kids were born there.
Her husband bought it early cause he could see the area becoming hot and darned if it didn’t became hotter than a pistol....young couples buying the properties as tear downs.
My daughter’s family did a large addition and then they sold and moved to Round Rock.
Nice area. They were able to buy a better\newer\larger house for less money.
They’ve since moved on....
