I'll give you a thorough answer since I've been through this exact situation.

I moved to North Loop from Chicago about 6 years ago. Initially I loved it immediately. But after settling in, Downtown has improved dramatically since I first moved here..

A few things I'd recommend:
- Check out North Loop and Mueller for housing
- Try the farmers market on Saturday mornings
- Visit during different seasons if you can

The biggest adjustment was food scene. I've never felt unsafe walking around {hood} at night.. Overall I'd give Austin a 6/10 for couples.
