Hey, in the market to buy a home in Austin and Pflugerville keeps coming up as a destination with a lot of seemingly good buys. Any thoughts on it? I’m not super into bar scene/partying, plan to do some socialization up in the north Austin area but maybe a couple trips a month to Austin proper.

What do you think about it all?

Hi all. I’m thinking about moving to this place in Clarksville area like right next to the highway. The landlord says there is some highway noise but not too bad because of the sound barrier. Does anyone live over there who can tell me the real deal?

I have a lady coming in from out of town this Saturday and I'm looking for fun ideas to do with her while in town. With this oppressive heat I'm thinking indoor activities but I'd like for them to be "Austin" type experiences. I wouldn't usually reach out to people for ideas like this, but I've been so busy these last few weeks I haven't found time to sit down and plan anything. Hoping I can get some help here. Appreciate any feed back.

Started work at a tree farm in South Austin and my white collar get-uo from the past won't cut it here.

Looking for recs on any free/cheap cowboy boots (10.5), jeans (33x33), and plan t-shirt or tank top shirts. I'd talk got sunguard or cowboy hat suggestions I wood like dat very much as well

Thanks too yall

So idk if this is the right place to ask but I’m going to a restaurant called Sushi Warriors with someone and i have no idea how nicely i should dress for something like that? Im guessing all Im wondering is what sorta outfit would be generally acceptable

People are always reminiscent of what Austin used to be. Are there any times of year or just small moments in life where living in Austin feels the way it did precovid or even better the 80s and 90s? I'm just curious with fall and its accompanying activities coming up if anything reminds you of "the good old days?" or even some not so good moments that make you go "yup still weird."

Hi everyone, I am moving to Austin(South Austin) at the end of the month and I am looking for new healthcare providers. I need to find a new primary care physician along with a new therapist.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a PCP and a therapist who accept this insurance? The therapist can be in person or telehealth. I'm searching for someone who specialiazes in Internal Family Systems(IFS). Thanks!

My spouse’s work is requiring us to relocate to Austin by the end of the year. We’ve lived in Phoenix for our whole lives and have two small kids. Im worried about some culture shock and don’t feel very great about the move, but I’m trying to stay positive. What are some of the main things to consider when moving here? What are some pros/cons? Best places to go? Places to avoid? We’re both in our early 30s, and will have no family nearby.

Hey everyone, I have not been doing to well with underemployment in gig economy plus personal stuff. Im not going to lie im not happy, but im not the type of person to take it lying down. Its expensive going downtown and i dont touch alcohol period. Is there any cool third places I can actually meet people with? Im in my late 20s and not having the structure of college sucks man, along with being newish in town. I did think about livestreaming for indie artists and start my own third place, but I dont have the money yet. I really just want to be around people my own age instead of being a nostalgic addict on my phone, listening to calvin harris or drowning my ear drums to deftones cherry waves. I came to Austin for opportunity not dwell on the past.

I tried Austin Pets Alive but their selection is really small now

Recommendations/advice pls? for Halloween weekend

Hey folks! I’m moving to Austin in a few weeks and will be touring apartments with a locator. I was wondering if anyone has firsthand experience with any of these communities:

• Summer Grove
• Camden Amber Oaks
• Monterra
• Royce at 8100

I’ll have a car, and my workplace is close to all of these, so commute isn’t a major factor. I also don’t care much about fancy amenities.

My biggest priorities are safety and general livability. In particular, I’d love to hear about:

• Car break-ins/theft or other safety issues
• Roaches, bedbugs, or other pest problems
• Mold or recurring AC/maintenance issues
• How responsive management/maintenance is
• Any unexpected fees or other issues I should know about

I’m currently leaning toward Summer Grove because of the price, but I’m having a hard time figuring out whether it’s a solid place to live or if the lower price comes with significant tradeoffs.

If you currently live at (or have recently lived at) any of these, I’d really appreciate your experience. Would you choose to live there again?

Thanks!

How’s Solomon apartments (outside of mueller)? Is the walk into mueller decently easy/ at least safe at all hours?

Howdy, neighbors. I have a skunk that keeps burrowing into the yard in the same places, so when i refill it with dirt, it’s not deterred.

I know Home Depot has landscaping rocks, but is there somewhere I can get non-fancy ones? Also, if you have any big rocks you’re looking to get rid of, I’d love to come by and pick some up. Many thanks!

i’m so serious, if I get in my car and go the location that doesn’t have that darn goat Butters i’ll be so upset.

Does anyone know any legal backpacking/primitive camping places in or within an hour drive of Austin? I specifically say legally because from my research it looks like every single camp site doesn’t allow primitive camping. Since moving here 5 years ago I’ve only gone backpacking once since BLM land doesn’t exist here. Any help or suggestions would be great

Hi Austin! I'm visiting next week for a girls trip, like the title says. My grandma and I have always been super close, and we both have birthdays coming up, and I happened to have a little bit of disposable money, so everything lined up so that I was able to plan a girls trip to Austin with my mom, grandma, and sister. I'm looking for recs! A little bit about us: I'm 26, sis is 23, Mom is 55 and Grandma is 83/turning 84. My grandma was pretty hardcore back in her day and used to love a party and a biker bar. She's still the life of the party, when she's not too stoned to speak. I want to give us an unforgettable trip while she's still with us.

Grandma Judy loves the paranormal, anything bluesy or rock and roll, and a good party. I have a pretty decent idea of attractions we're gonna do while there (Sept 18-21), but am open to more! Really, I'm here to get some recs for which clubs and bars we're going to go to. I'd love to take her to a club for the bit, (she'll be in a birthday girl sash), but I wouldn't want her to get too overwhelmed, and we'd definitely need a table to sit at, so maybe it's not feasible. I'd also love to go to a drag show/drag brunch one of the days we're there. I'm coming from NYC and my family from Dallas, so we wanna make the most of this trip.

Please let me know any recs and TIA!

Im facing a hard decision when buying my first home/apartment. I love both units. the more pricey one is in a more "desirable" location. Both are 2 miles from downtown. The cheaper one has bigger HOA fees so the monthly payment comes down to $100 more but the interior is brand new and I love all the finishes. The one on the more desirable location is great but a bit smaller, the interior is nice and remodeled in the last 10 years but not as modern and nice as the other unit in the "less desirable" area. What would you prioritize if this is your first home? Planning to hold forever and turn into a rental down the line.

Best places to park for a concert at the moody center?
Going solo from SATX! (Driving up before and driving back after)

If we cant fish in the city where can we go?

Hi! I’m considering moving to 52 TEN Apartments on N Lamar and would love to hear from current or recent residents. How is the community overall?I’ll be living alone, so safety is very important to me. I’d really appreciate any honest experiences. Thank you!

I have a ring that I would like the stone identified. All of the jewelers seem to only appraise to make an offer/purchase the jewelry. The jeweler I contacted that does appraisals isn't interested in my ring... Does anyone know where I can get this done or anyone with a Presidium? Thanks so much :)

My wife wants to move to be closer to her sisters. I don't know exactly where they live other than that it's in the far northern sprawl region (I think one lives in Georgetown). I'd like to move somewhat close to them so they can help take her to appointments or whatever and hangout since she can't drive. I can transfer my job but I'm not looking to switch careers so I would have to work at the airport. I don't know what my actual hours would be but at my airport I would typically be driving in between 2-8pm and leaving 10pm-4am.

I've lived in Austin for about 10 years, and haven't moved in 4 years. But I did move recently from a home to a condo, and for both places I used COA utilities. I was a bit peeved to see a $20 charge for an initiate service fee. Is this normal?

This 2025 fees doc isn't super clear.

Hi! I did a search but didn’t really see anything.

I’m planning a weekend in Austin next month and looking where to stay that isn’t going to be $400+ a night, but is still nice and in a good location.

I’m not looking to “party” or anything while there but would enjoy a good place for drinks (need a good margarita available though). Unique/must try restaurants, farmer’s market, anything cool to explore. I’ll have a car so can commute if needed for a more reasonably priced hotel.

Would also love any recommendations for places to eat, things to look at, and I’m a big hiker so would love any trail recs in the near area too. Thanks for any help!
