I would suggest Austin.

I am considering it, but I was thinking that Bryan-College Station was more family friendly, less expensive.

I have 4 kids and am looking at the elementary to high schools. What areas of Austin would you consider if you were working at Breckenridge and needed 15-30 minute commute?

You are actually right...FORGET ABOUT AUSTIN...expensive and is the liberal mecca of TEXAS. Stay far away from Austin.

You might want to rent in Bryan-College Station first until you get to know the area. I've found that to be the very best way to learn an area then select the neighborhood you'd like to live.

Not sure what or where you really need to be based upon the above comments you made.... I suggest you get a Texas map out and study the distances between some of the locations you've made above and then think time frame [15-30 minutes]...

Forget Austin - you can't get anywhere in 15 - 30 minutes, unless you're working the graveyard shift. Plus, they're trying to put tolls on all the major roads here, INCLUDING IH 35, according to today's paper.

Look at Nacogdoches, TX if you want a great small town with a university (Stephen F. Austin), great medical facilities...it's kinda like Austin was fifty years ago.

Good luck with it.

Austin is one of the greatest places to live in the world. Virtually everything anyone could want is there and the geography and climate are fine. You're very lucky if you can get a job there.
