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!
