Making my move after all these years, heading for the "Hill Country" of Texas, spent many years in various parts of Tx but now I'm relocating 'sight unseen', since I'm currently too far to drive out & see it. Spending LOTS of time online scrounging for info/photos, tho. I'm learning that serious floods are apparently fairly common in Llano County, for example, & one reason I'm very drawn to it--Llano, Kingsley etc--is because of all the rivers. But of course I don't want to live thru floods a lot; can anyone familiar with that area please tell me your knowledge about this. Are there specific areas that are best/worse, towns that don't tend to flood? Looking for small town, little house w/yard, water within short drive but not floody. Thanks for all info.

towns dont flood, areas within towns flood. If you are in a low area, you could flood. If you are on a hill you wont flood. Any agent you work with should be familiar with the flood zones. You can always pull up flood maps for the area

Check with your realtor. If a properrty needs flood insurance, it floods. If not, just be careful. My parents are looking in areas more south that have flooded in the past and I noticed one side of 80 in Martindale's prices are significantly lower. Turns out the lower prices are indicative of the flood plain their in. I know that's not where you're looking, but clues like that can point you in the right direction.
