Austin in Transition

Austin Texas is undergoing some rather large changes. Austin is experiencing massive downtown development, new roads opening, and new mass-transit services. Google announced the opening of an office in Austin, and that does not surprise me on bit. I can imagine when they looked at Austin they probably saw many great reasons to move here. The downtown area is just fun with all of the restaurants, Zilker Park and hike and bike trails around Lady Bird Lake. For those who want to live and work in downtown Austin, they will have plenty of new condos and office space to choose from. The skyline is populated with high rise cranes. As people look into the burbs for housing they are finding homes that are reasonably priced and not to far from all that downtown has to offer. For those who are willing to commute to Georgetown, Leander, Round Rock and other outlying towns, the new toll roads seem to help those people get where they are going. And for those willing to move to Liberty Hill and Leander, well those folks will have the luxury of a passenger rail station in the town of Leander. We are also seeing more and more commercial developments that cater to shoppers who want to make a day of it in malls like the new Galleria and The Domain. All in all Austin is undergoing change from one side to the other and seems to offer new experiences for all types of activity, indoor and out. Austin just keeps getting better. We love helping people buy their piece of Austin Real Estate.
