we've been talking about moving to austin...taking the husband to there in july so he can feel the heat. i want to live in south or east part of the city...lots of mature trees, homes built in the 50s or 60s...something that we can work on...wood floors and giant windows. mid century modern is what attracks us and i believe we can find that in

If he likes it, does that seal the deal? :)

hopefully, yes! it also depends on our jobs...both our jobs allow us to work from home, but who knows if rules change by the time (if it ever comes to move).

fun! but East side? No way Jose!

dvs1 February 2 2010, 22:46:00 UTC

ya know...i heard that the east side is prettty ghetto, but to give it a chance? lol, you've lived in austin for a long time, so i trust an austinites opinion.

do you have any locations that you can recommend??

it obviously depends on what you want to spend, but I can give you some pointers, I've actually been looking at real estate recently, for my sister.

I *really* like the west side (west of mopac) as far as north as far west and as far south as 71.

we want something we can work on, but nothing thats more work than its worth...u know what i mean? with that said, our max is 300k...1 story houses with open floor plans..close enough to the city, but not too close and...older is better....i know you're not a realtor, but i know you'd be able to point me into a direction from which i can start from lol...thanks!!

I saw this amazing house in Austin that my friend wanted to buy. Just the space alone and the fact that a million of my friends are there makes me want to move there too!!

I dunno though , I am lovin where I'm at but I can see myself settling in a town like Austin.

what part of austin was your friend lookin in? yea, i know what you mean about settling down in a town like austin...i think erich and i are finally at that point of "settling".

thanks annesta....definitely modern is our style...since price is a huge factor, ive been inclined to redoing a house that was built in the 60's...if you see anything that comes your way in regards to austin and modern...send it to me!
