Moving to Austin for a project (2 years) and will be staying there permanently after that. The office is in Pflugerville. I would like to live somewhere walkable. Will be moving with my wife and one year old kid.

Any recommendations?

I’m about to post a property for rent in Pflugerville within walking distance of H-E-B and a nice pond that we like to call lake Pflugerville in the best area of the town (Falcone pointe). 5 minute drive to the mall and the water park. Hospital literally across the street and 2 minutes away from 130

Ditto A1: “Walkable” limits you to just a few relatively small sections of town, all of which will put you at some distance from Pflugerville.

My family (me, wife, two little boys) live in the Govalle neighborhood on the East Side and find it very walkable overall. Mueller is another very popular neighborhood for families, and also very walking-friendly. But both put you at a 30-45 min commute depending on where in P you’ll be working.

There’s the Domain, too, if you’re selecting JUST for walkability. But it’s arguably much less family friendly.

You can also look at Clarksville or Tarrytown, but both are even further from P and significantly pricier.

Haha or downtown if they have a giant budget

I second Mueller - lived there for a year prior to moving east of the city - would definitely recommend for a young family. We moved from Baltimore so walking around the neighborhood was like living in a simulation lol - clean, friendly people, and options for walkable dinners and shopping. Farmers market every Saturday is one of the better ones in the city.

If price is not an issue, agree with Mueller option. You’ll be doing a reverse commute on I35 (not a super pleasant road) . Realize, you will be committing to higher cost area and commuting to a less expensive suburban area. If you want a city feel, Mueller is very Central. While part of a planned community, it feels more urban and near downtown. For budget conscious there’s tons of less expensive areas near Pflugerville and Round Rock or North Austin, near Apple and Dell campuses. Sounds like you are willing to commute. Do not go to Domain… not family friendly and not great schools.

What do you want to be walkable to and how long of a commute are you okay with?

I want to see people around when I step out. Ok with 15 min drive.

I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?
