Relocating To Texas Hill Country

By Pammy McGrath


While Texas Hill Country is a fantastic place to visit, it's an even better place to live. If you have visited the many cities or towns in this popular Texas region and thought about making the area your home, why not take the plunge and get started on a home search? Here are a few ideas about where to live.

Fredericksburg is a beautiful historic town located in Gillespie County and within about 90 minutes from Austin and San Antonio. You can opt for a cute historic home near the downtown area or perhaps opt for a ranch house on a large piece of property or just a modern suburban type of home. Fredericksburg has many fun events throughout the year, as well as galleries, museums, restaurants, wineries and many more attractions.

Kerrville is another option for those who love Texas Hill Country. This city, which has about 23,000 residents is located along the banks of the Guadalupe River and is known for its many parks. Residents enjoy recreational activities on the river, as well as a multitude of festivals, such as the Texas State Arts & Crafts Fair and the Kerr County Fair and the Kerrville Folk Festival.

Quite a few Texas Hill Country towns were established by German immigrants and this includes the aforementioned Fredericksburg as well as the city of New Braunfels. This town also rests along the Guadalupe River and is well known for its many water-related attractions. Tapping into the German history, the town also hosts a yearly German festival, the Wurstfest as well as year Christmas festival steeped in German traditions called the Wassailfest.

If you prefer a bigger city, you could look for homes in the San Antonio metro area. There are many different neighborhoods to consider, from Alamo Heights to one of the historic districts in the downtown area or perhaps a home in one of the suburbs. There is no shortage of attractions in San Antonio. The River Walk is a highly popular tourist destination and San Antonio also is home to The Alamo, which is the state's most visited attraction.

No matter what you are looking for, it's easy to find a home in Texas Hill Country. Simply contact a real estate agent who is an expert in the homes throughout this region, such as Nixon Real Estate. For 30 years, they have located San Antonio real estate, Fredericksburg homes for sale, Kerrville homes for sale and homes in other towns to suit the budget and wishes of their clients.
