San Marcos

[Madeline Swan]

Anyone leave Austin to move to the San Marcos area? Austin is just like little Chicago. I’m ready to move out to San Marcos or Wimberly area.

It’s been going to hell in a hand basket for years, but it’s so terrible now I don’t even like leaving my house!

The quality of life here has gone down hill

That area is still laid back & scenic.

Yea it is. It seems like it’s spiraling down in an exponential way too. It’s gotten ridiculous. High cost of living for a really subpar quality of life. I think it’ll get worse also with the inflation, rise of gas prices, etc.

Only thing about moving to San Marcos is that there is little to no providers out here unfortunately

From S.A. to Austin. There are parts of San Marcos that are nice if you're willing to drive an hour or so away from IH 35. Wimberly is just becoming an overpriced bedroom community to Austin.


Between the bipolar politics (It's OK to run around with guns / you're welcome here if you are a multi-millionaire), the rising property values and tax rates, I'm looking long and hard at property between Albuquerque and Santa Fe.
