West Austin

Once known simply as the capital of Texas and the home of the University of Texas, Austin has emerged as one of the most diverse, vibrant and bustling cities anywhere. From Austin’s emergent down town skyline showcasing the shimmering glass of luxury high-rises to Texas-sized spreads across the rolling hill terrain, Austin has established itself as one of the premier cities in the nation.

Austin’s legacy might well be formed by music legends such as Willie Nelson and Stevie Ray Vaughn or the countless musical artists who call Austin their home. Yet over the years, Austin has become an economic icon well admired by pundits and press alike. Consistently rated as one of the “Best of…” in most any category by publications such as Forbes, Business Week and Money Magazine, Austin’s growth has been fueled by its economic diversity and unique personality.

Austin now boasts more than 800,000 residents covering more than 300 square miles with major high-tech employers as Advanced Micro Devices, IBM and Dell Computer. In the bio-technology field, stalwarts Luminex, Abbott Labs and Agilent Technologies have a home in Austin. Other industry leaders such as Whole Foods, Homeaway and Intel have a major presence in Austin as well.

Austin’s appeal is widespread which leads to varied choices in real estate that other cities can only envy. Home affordability in Austin is constantly rated as one of the best in the country and has weathered the economic storms that affected other areas. The median home price for Austin homes is just over $215,000 yet there’s opportunity for real estate buyers in every income category from starter homes under $150,000 to magnificent hilltop estates commanding prices of $10 million or more.
