El Paso for me. I love those mountains and desert landscapes.

Not really a dig per say but I don't find any major cities in Texas to be beautiful, at least at describing them overall.

Regardless, I'd have to go with San Antonio here, followed by Austin and El Paso.

But I'd have to say, plenty parts of South-Central, Southern, and West Texas are beautiful. Just not so much directly in the major cities.

Austin by far, and not because I live here. It truly has a unique feeling not only in TX, but in the US, with hills throughout the city, huge hills on the westside, and a thick tree canopy in most of the city. Not to mention the city has countless miles of hiking trails and creeks. Plus subjectively, the skyline is very nice.

I think this video does a great job highlighting the beauty of the city:

I'd say Austin followed by San Antonio and then El Paso. I do like Houston's terrain and geography. Very lush and green but the built environment is makes it look ugly. Aesthetics was never a thing for Houston and Dallas for that matter.

Seriously, you may have sold me on moving to Austin. It's like a California city, not in Cali. Lol really really beautiful.

Yea, but it's close to California prices. And 3.5 hours to the ocean. And hot as Hades. Nice place though
