Should I Move to Austin? Quiz
Moving to a new city isn’t just about packing boxes—it’s about imagining the kind of life you want to live. Austin, Texas, draws thousands of newcomers each year with its music scene, job market, and sunny lifestyle. But is it the right move for you?
This quiz will help you think through the emotional, practical, and lifestyle factors that come with relocating to Austin.
Why Austin Calls So Many People
Austin is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. People come for tech jobs, live music, outdoor activities, and a culture that celebrates creativity. It’s a city of opportunity—but also one with traffic, high housing costs, and constant change.
