If you are considering moving to Texas, you should look to Austin, TX. Austin has always been a popular choice for people starting a new business and even for people looking for a great vacation spot. Austin is well known for its nightlife. The live music scene is incredible and the diverse culture is amazing. Even with so many social activities, residents here take pride in keeping their workouts social. You can join a jogging group or a cycling group.
Once you find an apartment you like, try to imagine what your day-to-day life would be like there. Look for quality of maintenance, appearance and staff. The on-site staff will tell you a lot about the apartment complex. Simply paying attention to these little details will greatly affect your satisfaction with your apartment and your life in Austin.
Most leases in Austin will be for 6 or 12 months. Prices are generally cheaper for 12-month leases. You can also expect to pay a pet deposit if you have a pet. Many communities are starting to charge pet rent too! It usually costs around $10-$20. Another common charge is the administration fee. This is the random charge that we don’t know where it goes but most communities have it.
We know you are interested in moving to Austin. Now you need to find a place. A great place to do this is with an online apartment search site. There are a few sites that will allow you to search for apartments in Austin by almost any criteria you need. A good search site will also have great staff who are very friendly and can point you in the right direction. Also, make sure you try to stay close to your new job because traffic in Austin can be really bad. That’s really the only negative I can think of.
Once you settle here, you can start enjoying life. You have to familiarize yourself with the downtown nightlife. Many people have heard of 6th Street, but there is much more to it than that. There are some of the best bars and clubs in the city center. Of course when you move here you will have to become a Longhorn fan! Football season always brings big festivities. Don’t forget about the Austin City Limits Festival and the many other activities along Town Lake. I could go on and on.
When you get to Austin, you’ll see what all the talk is about. Austin is such a friendly city and so much more laid back than anywhere I’ve ever been. Just spend a little time searching for the right apartment and finding a good job, then enjoy the new life Austin has to offer.
