Need help on good areas in the outskirts of Austin!

[Ellie Ryan]

Hi! I am planning on making a trip down to Austin in a few weeks to check out the area to see if it's somewhere me and my boyfriend are willing to move. We are looking to buy a single family, probably in the outskirts of Austin, and would like to eventually rent it out or just hold onto it for appreciation. I'm trying to put a list of areas to see while we're there and was hoping for any insight. I've only been once before (just for a weekend and it rained the whole time so didn't get to see much) so I am pretty much in the dark on where to go. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

@Ellie Ryan Hi Ellie. I am on the same exact goal path as you. I recently moved to Kyle and staying with relatives until I settle on a home to purchase in the next 4-6 months. I am leaning towards Kyle. I like the small town feel, home prices are decent, and still have a great commute to Austin and San Marcos. I’ll keep you updated on my progress. I’m mainly looking to buy and hold in one of the new communities being built in Kyle.
