Well, not to toot our own horn, but Cedar Park is one of the top 20 fastest growing suburbs in the US, just north of Austin. I don't like Austin city life, or the traffic that comes with it, but we are close enough to the lake (which has BEAUTIFUL homes for sale all over the place!) and some state park areas that are quite relaxing. And, when I moved here, people were SO nice to me. Everyone just kept smiling, saying "welcome to Austin!" And, the motto may be "Keep Austin Weird," but you sure don't have to be to live here! I mean, I do think you need to have an open mind; you will run into many non-conservative people here, but come on, it is Texas. It will always be a conservative state! Really, you should just visit all of these places. After a visit or two, I fell in love!
