Where is the best place to live in texas?

Dallas Texas buddy. I'll have the limo on standby.

What ever You do don't move to Houston. If You do You have to spend way more money just to get away from the riff raff.

Here here. Houston is a definate no. If you like the outdoors you can buy a good amount of acreage outside of Dallas at a decent price and not have any of the Houston issues.

Hands down - Austin.

AUSTIN IS THE RIGHT PLACE !!
HOUSTON IS A SHITTY HOLE !!
DALLAS IS A HELL JAM !!
EL PASO.TX , A HELL DESERT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE !!
CORPUS CRHISTY BEACH , ONLY IF YOU LIKE A RELAX , PLAIN BORING TOWN TO GO FISHING AND DO NOTHING !!
BEEN THERE DONE THAT !!
MY TWO CENTS !!

There's only one place ... Austin.

As far away from Mexico as possible.

I've been north of San Antonia (Hill Country) about 40 miles south of Austin and its gorgeous.

But I've heard Austin is a great place.

Austin, either Westlake or Lake Travis. A Mansion on LT will run you 2-10 million, though, so you won't be SO Rich there. Lots of Dellionaires around you.

wisconsin

Anywhere in the Hill Country.

Fredericksburg

Kerrville

Blanco

Mason

Johnson City

Lukcenbach...

Texas sucks its full of Texans and its beaches are ruined if you are stupid enough to move their you will be broke soon

I live in the Dallas/ Fort Worth area. It sucks.

Stay away from Houston unless you are a criminal or Asian.

Austin and San Antonio are the best places.

I'd want to be inland, away from any coastline

kerville tx is cool use to live there san antonio is awsome love the mexicans they are hands down the nicest folks ive ever had the pleasure of knowing . dallas is a strange city without much sense of itself and huston bring an oxegen tank w/ you the humidity will drop you like a rock scumbagville i arrived in houston in the spring of 81 and drank 5or6 beers took a dump and left asap.

Austin......but warning if you have allergies it sucks!

For outdoor living I suggest the Hill Country. For those who have issues with "riff raff" in Houston I live in the Montrose and don't have any riff raff problems.

The best place to live in Texas would be Colorado or Nevada.

Lmao! Montrose is where all the gay men live. I work all around Houston. I find used condoms laying on the ground in random places in the Montrose. NO ONE wants to live there Nicky. Are you one of the collar types or the leash types? there are some weird people living in that area. Really.


on topic..

Hill country. Austin area op. Its beautiful and the people are really nice, laid back.

It depends, this is a big place...

Like the coast? Port Aransas, south to SPI is great!

Lakes? Caddo is pretty, but swampish. Lake Texhoma is huge. Possum Kindom is nice, as is Livingston, Falcon, and Travis.

Hiking/camping? Any place in the Texas Hill Country. It's beautiful there in the fall. (See Lost Maples)

Away from it all? Terligua or Alpine out far west. Alpine is a little more developed.

I can't fault Dallas. It is pretty good for those wanting the metropolitin lifestyle.

Stay away from:
Houston proper. It's mostly a dive, though there are a few nice pieces. The suburbs aren't bad. The metro Harris/Fort Bent/Montgomery county area is really sprawling, though.
Texas Panhandle/high plains. Not much to do there unless you like ranching. It's very very flat.
Upper Texas coast. Beaumont, Port Author, Orange unless you enjoy the chemical industry.
Rio Grande Valley. Yuck. Just yuck. Not much to do there and it's not all that pretty.

There. My $0.02. Lived here all my life, been all around it, but just my own opinion.

I don't care if I ever see that state again. Lived in Amarillo for awhile...the asshole of the US....and San Antonio was too hot and humid.

Better learn to speak mexican

Austin is a yuppie town, but the Hill Country of central Texas if FANTABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hill country area!

We just moved to Texas from Arizona. We live in the Bullard area just outside Tyler. I LOVE IT. We have acreage. Its in the beautiful green rolling hills. Tyler is just the right size. Only 2 hrs from Dallas. Gaming (if you are into that)in Shereveport. Check it out.

Well said Maguyver, but you missed East Texas, espcially northeast Texas which is the Piney Woods area. Awesome area!!

I recently drove through that area and it looked awesome.
