So, what can you expect to pay for the essentials in Austin? Well, the median home price is around $430,000, which is no joke. And, if you're renting, be prepared to shell out around $1,800 per month for a one-bedroom apartment - ouch, that's steep!
But, hey, at least you'll be living in a city that's consistently ranked as one of the best places to live in the US. And, let's not forget about the food - you can get a delicious taco or BBQ plate for under $10, which is a steal if you ask us. Just be prepared to pay a little more for gas, since you'll likely be driving everywhere (this is Texas, after all!).
Now, we know what you're thinking: "What about transportation costs?" Well, the good news is that Austin has a decent public transportation system, with buses and a light rail to get you around the city. And, if you're feeling adventurous, you can always hop on a bike and ride along the Lady Bird Lake Hike and Bike Trail - just watch out for those hill country hills!
