Anyone living in Austin?

[jdgregory84]

Make no mistake, it's still ghetto. However, property values are starting to go up on the east side of 35 due to hipsters, homosexuals, and hipster homosexuals buying up the shitty houses and fixing them up and running off the ghetto folk with their flamboyancy.

I think that's more East of Downtown Austin. Which for beer drinkin has actually become a lot better than West 6th.

183/290 or hwy1/183 that general area.

I would look further up 183 from Loop 1 (MoPac).

Hipsters and other undesirables.

Um, no. Hipsters suck, especially in Austin, but they aren't the problem in that area. They really aren't the problem unless you're in central Austin.

Not sure about hipsters. I lived in North Austin back in 2006 and delivered pizzas all around the area. East of Lamar was "ghetto" as hell. Might also wanna check the Balcones Woods area. Pretty nice as well but probably a little more expensive.

The basic breakdown is East= black, SE= black/Hispanic, South= Hispanic/White, SW= pseudo-rich white people, W= overpriced white neighborhoods that actually have money, and are building apartments that hipsters pay out the ass to fit into, N= burbs of all colors that you should avoid.

Up by 183 is still considered downtown?

Yea, it's mostly near downtown, but the hipsters are buying anywhere it's cheap and gaying all the neighborhoods up. That in turn is driving out the garbage.

My wife works with several that have purchased in some shady-as-hell neighborhoods and have raised the property values by making the neighbors afraid other people will think they're gay and moving away.

At least those fuckers are good for something. SW Austin has a lot more asians and indians than mexicans.

Gay people are good about turning really bad areas into nice, but ritzy areas. Houston is a great example, (Montrose, Midtown/Gray, 4th Ward, Eastwood, Washington Ave)

Roliath. I found out a guu that I used to work with might have something for you in your price range. I'm trying to get some more info.

[roliath]

Thanks for all the info! I've got a lot of research to do.

edit: just saw your post, thanks Jd!

We lived in Hyde Park when we were there and loved it. The Triangle wasn't too far away, had a few friends that lived there, and it was pretty nice back then (2008-2010). I don't know how it is now.

The Triangle on Guadalupe? I have a friend who lives there. He's paying almost $1,400 for a tiny efficiency.

Fuck Austin.

I live in Temple, 60 miles north. Look for somewhere near your work, traffic sucks.

[jdgregory84]

Fuck Austin.

I think people can always find a reason to say that about any city. Other than traffic Austin isn't so bad.
