New member looking for information – and this forum looks like the right place to be!
I have lived in and around Athens GA for all of my 36 years and am now faced with a great opportunity to relocate to the Austin area. The past few years have given me enough experience in Austin to put it on the top of my list of favorite Southern cities (along side Asheville, NC) but I don’t know where to turn for data specific to moving my elementary teacher wife and 9 yr old son that far from “home.” Athens has always benefited from preserving its traditional southern charm while embracing the energy of the thousands of university students. Austin seems to also balance that well. Any suggestions as to what communities we should consider in our relocation hunt? We’re not looking for country club living but would rather be closer to the cultural centers (schools, arts, music). The office is close to the Arboretum. Homes below 300k?

Hey dirkreno- I actually went to undergrad at UGA (graduated in 05), so it's great to hear that you're looking at Austin! I'm a recent transfer (moved from Philly), so I'm not too much help with relocation information but I can get you in touch with the GA Alumni Assn here and will try to answer any comparison questions you have!

Best of luck in your search.

Hi Dirkreno - I sent you a PM but wanted to be sure that you know that there plenty of areas that will meet your criteria. If you provide a few more details about what you are looking for, it would be easier to help narrow it down.
