I will agree with KCDan, north is where the growth is continuing. Pfulgerville/Round Rock/Cedar Park are all viable. Apple recently announced a new ground breaking in that area as well so values will do nothing but continue to go up.

I have to get away from all this California tax. Cost of living is way less there than here. My son competes at a very high level in Judo and Jiu-Jitsu. They have what he needs at least in Jiu-Jitsu. I am sure the Judo yet but it will work most likely. I understand they have good wrestling there too. I need to have mountains, I have been in them my whole life. Individual rights and freedoms seem much more protected in Texas from guns to medical and everything in between.

I would be retiring so employment isn't really a consideration. If I decided to come out of retirement or be semi-retired it is also an ideal spot for me to land however.
