Question by newwave74: I want to move from L. A.,CA to Austin, TX. I’d like to buy a home for about 250,000. What part is best?
I’m 32 and would be moving with my boyfriend and pet poodle. I’m a middle school teacher (English) and my boyfriend is a graphic designer.

I love indie/hipster music scene and try to live “green”

With horrible housing prices in L.A. I want a change from my 300,000 condo…I live next to, how do I put it “low class” people (blasting oompa pa music all hours, many people living in one apartment, throwing baby diapers in the street, the corn man coming around, serving disgusting mayonnaise and chili corn while honking a clown horn, young drug dealers…This is Long Beach, ca. I call the cops that my neighbors are drinking in the street at 12a.m. and I literally watch the cops drive by and not get out of their car! I am tired of living near these creeps that seem to be the growing majority here!

I feel like it isn’t fair that I’ve got a Master’s degree and can only afford to buy near these jerks.

I want to live in an area that is clean and safe and maybe raise a family.

look at the area around a street called Hancock.

It’s close to downtown without breaking the bank. A lot of the homes were built in the 60′s but it is the best investment you can make for what you want. No drug dealers there..lots of young people and some old orig. residents.

I’m typing this up from a model home in Pflugerville. I work in new home sales. The home I’m in will go for 250 most of the time. It is 3000 sq. ft. good yard, master down, gameroom, covered patio, luxury bath, top schools, low crime…

but you want to be around other greenies and stuff, so look down there.

here’s an eye popper
