subject: Hill Country Living, It's Hard to Resist [print this page] "The stars at night are big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas." When June Hershey and Don Swander wrote this great song about Texas, not only did they include all of the things that make our state Texas, but they really seemed to describe everything that the hill country has to offer. Could it be that the heart of Texas in which they were singing about was the hill country?
Living in the hill country is one of Texas's best kept secrets. When people think of moving to Texas, they often look in larger cities such as Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. But to much surprise, the hill country is closer to these big cities than you might realize which would make living outside the city much more appealing. So, if you are wondering why you should live in the hill country here are the top five reasons why.
1.Affordable Living.
Whether you are looking to retire or find an affordable community to live in, purchasing land in the hill country would be a great investment. In addition, building and customizing your own home could potentially save you thousands of dollars in mortgage costs. Tax rates are low and land is still affordable.
2.Beautiful Surroundings
Imagine it now- you have customized your hill country home to take advantage of the amazing views the hill country has to offer. Only in the hill country will you find the state's most beautiful wildflowers, prairie lands, hills, rivers, and lakes. In the evenings you can sit on your porch in a lovely rocking chair and watch as wildlife roams freely, the sun begins to set, and the most amazing clear nights where the stars appear so big and bright.
3.Outdoor Activities
Only in the country will you find the widest range of outdoor activities without having to go too far from home. If you are looking to go fishing, boating, kayaking, or floating, the Highland Lakes and Rivers will meet all these needs. In the summer head to the Frio River to float where the water is crystal clear. In the spring and fall, the Lost Maples State Park is a great location for hiking and nature viewing.
4.Local Community Support
Only in Texas will you find towns that shut down when it's time for Friday night football. The hospitality and friendliness of locals will warm your heart and make you want to stay forever. Attending local farmers markets and community events will allow you a chance to get to know your neighbors and meet new friends.
5.Texas's Best School Districts
If you are looking for a great school district, look no further than the hill country. The hill country and surrounding areas are home to some of the state's best districts for children. Overall rankings for state test scores are high, teacher to student ratios are low, and many schools are rated exemplary.
Whether you are moving to Texas or wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, take a drive to the Texas hill country and explore all the reasons why you should consider moving to the heart of Texas.
