I was reading a great New York Times article about Wimberley, Texas. Wimberley is no longer being overlooked as a beautiful and relaxing relocation destination. Even Texans from Austin, Houston and San Antonio are flocking to the Texas Hill Country.
WHY IS WIMBERLEY POPULAR?
First, Wimberley is part of the scenic Texas Hill Country in Hays County, just south of Austin. Second, the neighbors. People are friendly in Texas, especially most small towns.
Another popular reason to relocate to the Texas Hill Country? LAND! Where else can you buy 25-50 acres of land with rolling hilltops and mature trees for a reasonable price? If you're tired of the city and want to surround yourself with nature, this is the place. In fact, it's not uncommon to to buy land or acreage that includes stock ponds, a well, or wet creek.
THE REST OF THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY
Other cities in Hays County, such as Buda and Dripping Springs have boomed in recent years and should continue. If you're looking closer to the City of San Marcos, land may be a little more expensive since it's near Texas State University, which is where I graduated. From my understanding, the San Marcos rental market is still going strong.
