Howdy, Austinites! 

Today, we’re embarking on a wild suburban adventure through the quirky, charming, and downright awesome neighborhoods surrounding our beloved city. Buckle up, because we’re about to dive headfirst into the top 8 suburbs to live in Austin!

I’m Nick Garcia, Austin’s favorite realtor with All City Real Estate and I help people buy and sell homes in the Austin and surrounding areas. 

Speaking of surrounding areas, since the house prices in the austin city limits have skyrocketed in neighborhoods like Tarrytown, Circle C, Allandale, Travis Country, and more many incoming buyers are looking in areas just outside of Austin.

You can get more bang for your buck when you buy a house with safe neighborhoods with amenities and you’re only 15-25 minutes from downtown Austin.
