I may be relocating to the Austin area with work. I need trees. Is the western/northwestern side of Austin more hilly with trees or is the whole area just flat and nothing? I don't mean to sound so negative about the area. I am just trying to learn more about the area and where to live.
Any info would be appreciated!

Are you looking for a house. I would consider Meridian in SW Austin. We are about to buy in there. It's really nice.

OMG..the west side of Austin has a bunch of trees and hills. It's gorgeous. Not sure about anything else because I'm researching myself.

KANSAS is flat and nothing. Not Austin.

West and NW Austin is much hillier than other parts of Austin. We chose this part of town over Sw Austin specifically for that reason. We liked SW Austin, but it we liked the bigger hills of NW Austin better.

If you're looking to avoid flat, then Austin and parts West would be the place to look. Houston and Dallas (and Kansas for sure!!) would be the places to avoid. There are lots of trees West, except where land has been clear cut for development. East of 35 is traditionally farmland, so not quite as many trees. But now I have a digital camera, so I can take pictures to prove that there are also places East of 35 with lots of trees

Trees are all over the place here in Cedar Park. Cedar & Oak trees. Austin itself is really green!

I should have included this area is east of Austin and called Lost Pines.
Not many Austinites are even aware of it.
