Austin Overview

What’s the reason that Austin is one of the fastest-growing cities in America? Actually, there are a number of reasons, not the least of which is its warm weather. It’s also been called the live music capital of the world. While some may argue that point, one thing is certain. Austin is a city of festivals—music festivals, film festivals, and even a Brazilian Carnaval festival.

From reggae to rodeos, golf to gardening, and motorsports to malls, Austin’s cultural and artistic diversity offers something for everyone. Nature lovers enjoy the botanical gardens and the numerous parks and biking trails. Athletes enjoy rock climbing and the yearly marathon, which features live musical accompaniment from over 40 bands.

Austin offers a variety of educational options, with more than 10 institutions of higher learning.

Add walkable neighborhoods, world-class museums and a ballet company, and it’s easy to understand its soaring popularity. Besides events that attract tourists from all over the world, the city offers residents a multitude of enjoyable activities, many of which are free. Maybe the biggest reason for Austin’s popularity is its success in keeping its quality of life higher than its cost of living.
