I love that place.
If I get it, will my children be less noisy?[/quote]

Yes, you can all scuttle away to your vulgar McMansions in Texas, you losers.[/quote]

Austin-moving poster here - I'm actually NOT planning to move to a McMansion.  I do understand the appeal, but we are looking at MAYBE 2000sf very basic ranch homes in the $300-400K range.  Yes, we can get gigantic homes in the burbs for the same price or less, but we would prefer to be as close in to the city as possible in a neighborhood with really great schools that is walkable to amenities.  THIS is not an easy task in TX, trust me.  This is still twice the size of the house we currently live in AND we'll have a yard, even IN the city neighborhood.

This one is in the Westlake school district, the best district in the Austin area (the HS is consistently ranked in the top 100 on the Newsweek list) and is walking distance to all 3 schools (ES, MS and HS) in addition to being a quick trip to Zilker Park:

And this one is in a neighborhood that was just featured on the show Property Virgins on HGTV called Allandale with an elementary school I am ridiculously excited about:

So not everyone is moving to TX just for McMansions.  I'm actually just happy we can afford a house anywhere near the city rather than being in a 2 BR TH way out in the burbs for basically the same price.
