In our never-ending internet quest to find places to relocate in the Austin or San Antonio area, we're considering checking out Canyon Lake.
It seems that San Antonio and the surrounding area has more family-friendly activities than Austin and its surrounding areas, but since we haven't actually been there yet (we will be there for 4 days in about 2 1/2 weeks), it's hard to tell. Internet research is helpful, but pales in comparison to actually visiting.
Since we only have 4 days, we would like to try and narrow down our search as much as possible so we're not just aimlessly driving all over the place!
We are currently in a somewhat outlying suburb of the Phoenix area that has a population of about 50,000 and is self-sustaining with all the big box stores, etc. We are looking for a change; someplace a little out of the urban areas so we can get at least an acre, but don't want to be so far away that going to the grocery store is a major production. The big box stores don't have to be in the immediate area, maybe with 20-25 minutes or so ~ that way we can make a trip every couple weeks and just get all the big shopping done (Costco, Babies R Us, Target, etc).
We would also like to eventually put our 6-mo old son in a Christian school and it seems like there are at least a couple in the immediate area.
We will also look to attend a bible-based church, as we are very involved with our church here and will miss it dearly.
Any input on this area would be appreciated!!
