WELCOME TO AUSTIN TEXAS

Austin residents are not alone in recognizing the city’s appeal.  The Worldwide Employee Relocation Council (ERC, based in Washington, D.C. and Memphis based Primary Relocation, LLC have each ranked Austin first in surveys of the country’s “best large markets for relocating families.  The bottom line is that Austin has a lot to offer, and has been recognized for its relatively stable median family income, per capita income and per capita disposable income levels, along with cost of living, state and local tax burdens, family and individual poverty levels and unemployment rates by national relocation companies and surveys.

Interesting mix makes Austin attractive and diverse.  Rather, it’s a diverse and exciting combination of factors – from its status as Texas’ capital city and the “Live Music Capital of the World” to the University of Texas and Longhorns football, funky laid-back attitude, sophisticated arts and cultural scene, and it’s gorgeous, anything but flat terrain.  There’s really something for everyone here.

The city is an interesting mix of technology, education, government, music, film and the arts.  It’s also a scenic city that combines the best of Texas prairie and scenic Hill Country – with mostly hills.  With steep terrain, creeks, parks and the Colorado River – dubbed Lady Bird Lake in the center of the city – many visitors can’t believe they’re still in Texas – which is mostly flat as a pancake, except for the Austin area and a few other parts of the state, like Big Bend.

Think authentic Tex-Mex and barbeque to elegant, four star restaurants and nationally known chefs; two stepping and country music to jazz, modern and alternative rock; Longhorns and cowboy hats to shaved heads and tattoos; and a drag queen affectionately known as Leslie who once ran for mayor.  With the friendliness laid back attitude and anything goes appeal.  Austin offers something for everyone. 

Austin’s Colorful History has welcomed visitors to its scenic beauty since the nomadic “Tonkawa, Comanche and Lipan Apache tribes camped and hunted here long ago.  The Spanish first settled the area in the late 1700s, and Austin became the village of Waterloo after Anglo settlers arrived the 1830s. In 1839, it was chartered as the capital of the Republic of Texas and renamed “Austin” after the man known as the “father of Texas” – Stephen F. Austin.  The city became the state capital when Texas was admitted to the Union in 1846 as its 28^th state.  Austin is now the fourth-largest city in the state and the 16^th largest city in the U.S. with a little more than 1 million residents.

Austin’s business community consists of international nexus of business, including technology (software, hardware, biotechnology and more), government, education, music, healthcare, and film.  It is a city known for its technology base, thanks to such major local employers as Dell, Inc., IBM, AMD, Applied Materials, National Instruments, Apple Computer, and Free scale Semiconductor.  Austin is also the site of a regional Internal Revenue Service office, and the University of Texas at Austin, the State of Texas, the Austin Independent School District and the Round Rock Independent School District are all included in the city’s list of largest employers.
