We (wife , myself, and young daughter 7 at the time) moved to Round Rock in 1979 from Pennsylvania. I believe there were approx. 10,000 people at the time. We lived in Tonkawa Springs which at the time was a Premium subdivision. Our property backed onto the lake which was very nice. Schools were pretty good, people were friendly. My late wife really liked the whole environment. I know it has been a long time but when I hear the population is now 125,000 and the little Catholic church is now a Cathedral it just shocks me.

Round Rock was the town to grow up in during the early 90s, it has now grown so much that it's almost unrecognizable in most areas.

When we moved out of Austin proper 8 years ago, we looked at Teravista and liked round rock in general, but I hadn’t retired yet and was unwilling to drive I-35 everyday. We ended up in pflugerville and I used the toll road to get to Austin quickly and easily. Round rock is a little more developed in some ways but pflugerville was a good move for us. We end up going to round rock for health care.

What part of Austin are you thinking? I don’t know the rental market, but happy to make a video about different areas that we haven’t covered. Austin is big so narrowing in on neighborhoods would help a ton in producing an effective video.

Low-rated schools can be a pro if you are single and not planning to have kids. I rent in Round Rock and looked up my schools and the nearby elementary is 2/10! I'd buy in my neighborhood but I suffer from sticker shock when I look at what houses are going for.
@AustinTX9 ай бұрын
I’m with you!! None of my investment homes are zoned for highly rated schools. I think my current house is rated for an elementary school that is also 2/10 😂 Which neighborhood are you in, just curious 🏡

Round Rock like Pflugerville is a dump. The schools are below avg and these two cities have gone downhill over the past twenty years.
