Hello, I'm a remote worker and With a population of 968K, Austin is a major city. The median home value here is around $512,700, which is pretty steep. Homes are going for about $512,700 on average. The weather takes some getting used to. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Worth the trade-offs? People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
