Opinions wanted! Used to live in Austin travelled to Houston often and been to Dallas a few times. They all have great things about them. Here's my pros and cons...and really nervous about the job markets in some of them.
Austin Pros:
Beautiful Hill Country
Medium sized, liberal town
Right in the middle for drives to HOU or DFW
Used to live there, familiarity is good
Austin Cons:
Not as many hospitals not sure what nursing market is like
Not as much to do as in larger cities (museums, etc)
Can be pricey for houses
Dry like the dessert
Dallas Pros:
Loved Plano area
The culture,shopping
The houses
Sports teams, museums,
Change of seasons as compared to rest of cities
Dallas Cons:
Tornadoes more prevalent
Houses can be pricey too
Crime rates
Houston Pros:
Love the heat
Great houses and affordable
Culture, museums,sports
Katy Mills,shopping,Ikea
Nursing market seems favorable
Great master planned communities
Houston Cons:
Heard about giant flying roaches(never saw them)
Crime rates
Anyone else confused now? Anyone have a favorite? Thanks for listening!
Austin is growing rapidly. I think, there are more people moving to Austin than any other city in Texas. Hospitals in Austin now trying to compete by raising the wage to keep their nurses at bay. Check at this website to tell you more about Austin.. http://www.myrnconnection.com/NewHospitals.html
What's the fastest-growing American city with more than half a million people?
If you guessed Ft. Worth, you are correct. Dallas' next-door neighbor added more than 20 percent to its population from July 2000 through July 2006, according to the latest estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau.
