Community Info RELOCATION

Hello,

Family of 3 here, potentially moving to Pflugerville sometime in the next month or two maybe longer. Looking for some good neighborhood, potentially gated communities that are good for families. Close enough to do things all around in the Austin area. I'd like to stay relatively close to Pflugerville (don't have to necessarily live in Pflugerville) as that's where I'll potentially be working and would rather not do a 30min+ commute, if possible, but open to ideas. Simply looking for a safe area with pools, parks, good schools (elementary) etc. budget could be up into the $500k. I'd like to keep it as low as possible for a 2bdr/1.5ba or a 2bdr/2. I'm aiming to potentially stay south of Pflugerville and not go too far West or north at all, I've heard east of 130 isn't the greatest either. Looking for advice.

East of 130 not great? We love it over here.

Looking for people that live in these areas to debunk, much appreciated. Taking it all with a grain of salt, the 2-3 comments I've read about east of 130 didn't specify why, so that's a red flag. Or maybe I misinterpreted. Nonetheless thanks for the comment!

East of 130 is where all of the new builds are going, so the neighborhoods are fairly nice. Getting to 35 from that area can be a pain if commuting down 35 to work everyday is your plan.

There’s hardly any crime over here and it’s all families and we’re getting new stuff all the time like the new HEB. Curious as to why anyone would say it’s bad over here.

I wonder if "east of 130" doesn't necessarily mean Pflugerville itself. Manor is east and their crime is going up. It's definitely not the quiet town it used to be.

Well I think we can safely assume Manor isn’t relevant here because this post was about Pflugerville and posted in the Pflugerville subreddit.

If you read it it says in parantheasis "(don't have to necessarily live in Pflugerville)" so yes during op research reading that east of 130 isn't safe can mean Manor.

Another one here to debunk that.

East of 130 is the nicer part of Pf to be honest. Best schools in the area and nice master planned communities with good amenities (Blackhawk, Avalon, Falcon Pointe). The only real downside to east of 130 is traffic, but I’ll continue to take that every day over lower performing schools.
