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.

One of the most visited towns in Hill Country is Fredericksburg, which captivates visitors with its charming downtown area packed with restaurants, art galleries, shops and notable historic buildings. The area also offers an array of fine wineries, and wine tasting tours are highly popular. If you are searching for that small-town ambiance, Fredericksburg definitely fits the bill with about 10,500 residents in largely rural Gillespie County. Despite the small size, it is still just about an hour and a half from Austin as well as San Antonio.

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.
