Just north of Austin is the wonderful city of Round Rock, TX, offering residents and newcomers alike a great place to live and work, while still enjoying all the amenities of nearby Texas cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So whether you\u2019re new to the area or are considering a relocation, here are six things about Round Rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Round Rock is close to Austin, but its on its own.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Off the bat, Round Rock is within 20 minutes of downtown Austin on a light traffic day, and it can be fun to visit the town, known for its \u201cweirdness\u201d and creative vibes. Meanwhile, Round Rock has a vibe of its own with manicured lawns and a family feel. So, despite the geographic closeness, the feel is far apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Round Rock is still cool, one of the coolest in fact.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it has a different feel from Austin, Round Rock is still one of the coolest suburbs<\/a>. According to Apartment Therapy<\/a>, Round Rock is among the coolest with new restaurants such as Y\u2019all\u2019s Cafe<\/a>, live music in the Prete Main Plaza, and the city\u2019s Triple-A tea, the Round Rock Express.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. You\u2019ll love Round Rock\u2019s convenient location<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you really want to get out of the Austin-Round Rock metro, you\u2019ll love how close you are to other amazing Texas towns. Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio are all within a three-hour drive for day trips. Heck, even beautiful Corpus Christi is less than four hours away for a beachside weekend getaway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Find a job in tech<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Round Rock is included in Compatia\u2019s<\/a> No. 1 spot for tech jobs in the country right now. While Austin\u2019s own tech scene is growing, Dell\u2019s headquarters in Round Rock holds the greatest number of IT positions open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Go nuts for these Round Rock Donuts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Believe it or not, Round Rock is also known for donuts. Round Rock Donuts<\/a> is a local must-have, even earning recognition by the Travel Channel\u2019s Man vs. Food<\/em> show and the Food Network\u2019s Donut Dreams<\/em>. Basically, if you\u2019re gonna be in Texas, get a Texas-sized donut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. You\u2019re gonna pay a little more for housing in Round Rock<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, there are a lot of great things in Round Rock, but that comes with a slightly higher cost of living. According to BestPlaces<\/a>, Round Rock\u2019s overall cost of living is above both state and national averages, but when you dig into it, you\u2019ll actually see savigins in spots such as groceries and healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s housing that will cost you. The median home cost in Round Rock is more than $80,000 the state\u2019s median cost and more than $40,000 the nation\u2019s cost. Even rent is slightly higher in Round Rock compared to Austin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
