Google 1, I dont think so. I feel like the domain is great for people from 25-45. caters to the young and early executive professional. also has enough nice eating spots for older folks.

if you are in your 30s and single or at least without kids id recommend downtown, Mueller, hyde park, soco, domain area.

if you have kids than and are looking for affordability roundrock, cedar park, Leander, Georgetown.

if you have kids and got some money in your pocket. Steiner ranch, westlake, Lakeway, lake travis.

I was born and raised in austin (1990). live in NYC now but I have seen how this city has grown north further north and now even further south.

40+ year austinite -/ answer depends on your horizon. Looking for something to grow into with family or a fun place for a couple of years.

Thanks for this. Started a new thread with my details as to not hijack.

How much do you tip heb grocery delivery drivers? I was tipping 20% of my grocery bill and then someone said that’s a lot considering they do not do the shopping and it is about a 10 min drive. I spend about $100-$150 on groceries. I always meet them downstairs so they are never hauling things up to my apartment. Continuing tipping 20% of total or flat rate each time? And if so, how much? $10? More?
