Ok so I moved to Dallas from Richmond VA (and I was previously living in Philadelphia), mainly based on jobs and the fact that we really wanted to move to Texas. I had heard that Austin wasnt so great for young African Americans professionals, so I figured Dallas or Houston were my only options. We've been in Dallas for 6 months and while we really like it, we feel like it's not our forever city.
This weekend I went to visit Austin and I must say.... WE LOVED IT! I feel like it would have been a much better fit for us! The people we're so nice and it was just a very laid back, young, fun vibe. So now I think that maybe in a year or two we will definietly be relocating to Austin (plus I can finish my degree at UT, which would be great). It seemd a littls more expensive than Dallas (but thats all relative since we are coming from the East Coast) but we liked it so much more than Dallas that it would be worth it. Don't get me wrong I do like Dallas but for us Austin was just much more in line with what we want in a city.
