From Austin, Tx's leader in FREE apartment locator services and searches for Austin apartments!
It would be impossible to tell you all the wonderful things that Austin, Tx has to offer to its residents. From fantastic shopping, to exciting football games, to live music downtown, where to begin?
 Austin, Tx is the capital city of the state of Texas. The history and status of that position has played a critical role in the development of Austin over the last century. While many cities grew only to experience urban decay and mass suburbanization, Austin has never neglected the heart of the city and all progress and expansion has been carefully planned to preserve the downtown area and to incorporate one of Austin’s most cherished treasures – nature. Preserved greenbelt areas flow throughout the city, giving people a place to swim, hike, mountain bike and nature watch only a stone’s throw from their home, whether they live in the heart of downtown or out in the suburbs. Another of Austin’s natural treasures, Lady Bird Johnson Lake, flows through the center of downtown and is a coveted form of recreation for all Austinites featuring jogging trails, canoeing, tourist attractions like the Congress Street Bridge bats, dog parks and outdoor entertainment venues.
 Go just a little bit further and you can enjoy upscale shopping and dining at venues like Barton Creek Square, The Domain or the Hill Country Galleria. For a more local flair try the South Congress, South Lamar or 2nd Districts. Two additional lakes make Austin a boater’s paradise. Lake Travis is known for all forms of aquatic recreation, including sailing, while Lake Austin is a prized location for wakeboarding and competitive skiing due to the calm waters.
Austin is also popular for her employment and educational opportunities. One of the technology capitals of the US, Austin is home to the headquarters of Dell and AMD, and has satellite offices and/or production plants for Samsung, Intel and Freescale. Technology entrepreneurship thrives in Austin, Tx because of the large number of educated graduates coming from the University of Texas annually. Many public primary schools in Austin rank very highly, the crime rate is low for a city of its size, and homes are more affordable here than in other parts of the country, making Austin, Tx a great home for high-quality employees.
