Looking at Hill Country
Hi,
I am looking for a semi rural area to relocate. Would like to have clean air, good schools. low crime and medical nearby. I am looking for a slower paced lifestyle. I do have children and would like to be where there are families with good old-fashioned values. Anything like this available in this area. Oh also needs to be affordable 200,000-300,000 range. Thanks in advance for your replies.  |

I'm not sure that Sulphur Springs classifies as the "hill country"?

Junction, Johnson City, Burnet, and maybe Lampasas come to mind. Of course, the rub is that all the qualities you list as desires apply to about 98.2% of the population. Finding something "affordable" will be the tough part.
Best of luck.

I think with 200-300k u can live just about anywhere in the hill country with around 2-3 acres and a house. It starts at about 9-10k/acre in Fredericksburg area and then pans out to around 5k/acre when you move West ward.
