It is the second-largest state in the U.S. \u2013 both in terms of size AND population. The state is so large that it can fit 15 other states inside of its borders. And if it were as jam-packed as New York City, it could house the entire world population.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With its big size comes big benefits like low cost of living, strong employment, and a healthy blend of city and rural living to suit any lifestyle.\u00a0\u00a0This article covers the top benefits of living in the great state of Texas and lists some top-rated cities and smaller neighborhoods. Some of these locations are famous nationwide, while others may be new to you and worth a closer look.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10565 size-large lazyload\" title=\"The Best Places to Live in Texas, Hands Down Bellhop Blog\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"The Best Places to Live in Texas, Hands Down Bellhop Blog\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/texastheater-1024x683.jpeg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/texastheater-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/texastheater-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/texastheater-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/texastheater.jpeg 1470w\"><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reasons_to_Live_in_Texas\"><\/span>Reasons to Live in Texas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>All areas of Texas share some key benefits:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>No <\/strong><strong>Income Tax<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s right; there is no income tax in Texas. The state makes its money through other taxes like sales (6.25%) and use taxes. (Cities typically charge too, with a cap set at 8.25% for both.) Still, if you plan things right, you can benefit financially here.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Cost of Living<\/strong><strong> \/ Affordability<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Texas has a lower\u00a0<\/span><b>cost of living compared <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(-4.5%)\u00a0to other areas of the country and lower\u00a0<\/span><b>median\u00a0home\u00a0cost <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(-14%)<\/span><b>.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Low <\/strong><strong>Cost <\/strong><strong>per <\/strong><strong>Square Foot<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you plan to buy or build a 2,100 sqaure foot home here, you can pay as low as $147 a square foot, compared to the national average of $158, according to TodaysHomeOwner.com. Home prices have increased faster than inflation in the past several years. And of course, prices vary by market. Austin-Round Rock\u2019s cost per square foot for example is $289 mid-2023. But, that said, there are affordable alternatives if you take the time to research.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Schools<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Texas is known for its quality education ranging from\u00a0<\/span><b>public schools<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0up to colleges and universities. The state has over 5.4 million students enrolled, with the majority Hispanic, and a 4-year graduation rate of 90%.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Low <\/strong><strong>Crime<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compared to the national average, Texas is ranked 15<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 2020 in<\/span><b>\u00a0violent crime <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">according to the FBI.<\/span><b> ,\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">but the crime risk drops significantly based on the type of city.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>This State Has a Love for the <\/strong><strong>Public Park\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Texas is massive with no shortage of land, but developed areas also offer ample parks and recreation areas, making city life a pleasant place to be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Powerful Businesses and <\/strong><strong>Job Growth<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Texas has always been a solid place to find a job, but job growth has been given a serious boost thanks to the departure of tech companies from California. The state is home to\u00a0<\/span><b>big-name businesses<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0in every major city.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the new jobs comes\u00a0<\/span><b>population growth<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u2013 especially in Austin. But don\u2019t worry about being crowded, Texas is massive. You will be able to enjoy nature and the state\u2019s wide, open spaces.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>A Strong <\/strong><strong>Sense of Community<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Southern hospitality lives large here, and it will give you the warm-and-fuzzies. People are kind and neighborly; strangers are just as likely to say \u201chi\u201d as \u201chowdy\u201d on the street given its growth<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>A Blend of Big Cities and Expansive Rural Land<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Texas has some of the country\u2019s\u00a0<\/span><b>biggest American cities <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 four of the top 10 in 2023<\/span><b>.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Thanks to cheap land and job growth, Texas has some of the\u00a0<\/span><b>fastest growing cities<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0and most\u00a0<\/span><b>affordable cities\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to live in.

Let\u2019s just start by saying it can get hot. 2023 saw some of the hottest temperatures on record, but in its defense, so did most of the southern US. Likewise, it can get bone-chilling cold with disastrous consequences as it did in February 2021.<\/p>\r\n<p>Houston, given its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, can be muggy, and take a direct hit from hurricanes. Dallas, further inland, shares the same general humidity but can be slightly cooler in winter. Austin, located in what Texans call the \u2018Hill Country\u2019 is not as muggy, but is still hot. A good weather website to compare these metro areas is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weatherspark.com\">WeatherSpark.com<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>Are extreme temperatures and weather events a reason not to consider Texas as a place to live? This is ultimately a personal decision. But, it\u2019s worth noting that extreme weather seems likely now everywhere in the US. New England, for example, never imagined the terrible and historic floods of 2023, nor NYC a disastrous hurricane. So, in defense of Texas there are many positive reasons to consider a move to the Lone Star State.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_Cities_to_Live_in_Texas\"><\/span><strong>Top Cities to Live in <\/strong><strong>Texas<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Now that you have a general snapshot, let\u2019s dive into some top areas to consider:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Dallas<\/strong><strong>&#8211;<\/strong><strong>Fort Worth<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The greater Dallas-Fort Worth area in North Texas contains two gems you won\u2019t want to miss, and the region\u2019s name gives them away. Let\u2019s look at each.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h4><strong>Dallas<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dallas is the ninth-largest city in the country, and with its size comes a range of benefits \u2013 especially for families and students. Nearly 40 colleges and universities are here, and the public schools average a B- grade from Niche. And there is ample employment in sectors ranging from financial services to IT and health services. The city is home to 18 companies on the Fortune 500 list, and DFW airport is a key employer. The airport is as large as the area of Manhattan. Southwest Airlines is based here, and American Airlines is based nearby in Fort Worth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Housing costs and rental rates range and can be pretty affordable &#8211; $309,000 in 2023 according to Zillow. Dallas is also known for its foodie scene as diverse as its population. But be sure to get a car. Commute times aren\u2019t the best.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>Learn more via our <a href=\"\/moving-to\/dallas-texas\/\">Dallas Moving guide<\/a>, or hire <a href=\"\/tx\/dallas\/movers\/\">Dallas movers<\/a> if you&#8217;re ready to take the plunge.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h4><strong>Fort Worth<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This city is the 15th largest city in the US and sits next to Dallas. You enjoy the benefits of Dallas, but with more cowboy culture and a small-town feel \u2013 even as a big city. You can be all business during the day and then catch a rodeo or dance at a honkey-tonk at night.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You still enjoy an affordable cost of living.\u00a0 The city is popular with young professionals, families, and singles, but if you are looking for quality schools, you may want to consider Dallas instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>Learn more via our <a href=\"\/moving-to\/fort-worth-texas\/\">Fort Worth Moving guide<\/a>, or hire <a href=\"\/tx\/fort-worth\/movers\/\">Fort Worth movers<\/a> if you&#8217;re ready to take the plunge.<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Arlington<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Houston is the largest city in Texas with one million more residents than Dallas (though the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area has the bragging rights). With its size comes great diversity. Many museums, parks, and restaurants to visit make it a tourist destination. It is also a cultural melting pot with 150 nationalities.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Houston is home to many major corporations and offers job opportunities that range from blue-collar work to white-collar jobs. Other than New York, no location has more Fortune 500 countries. NASA is also based here.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The employment, big city vibe, and diverse population are the most appealing aspects of Houston. So are the housing prices at $261,000. Still, it is highly ranked for its employment, food, and tourism thanks to its Museum District and hip-hop culture. It is also known as a sports destination, hosting the Rockets basketball team and the Astros baseball team.<\/span><\/p><div class=\"getbe-middle\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"getbe-953043364\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/book\/service\/\" aria-label=\"The Better Way to Move\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"The Better Way to Move\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" width=\"600\" height=\"160\" style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160.png 600w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160-300x80.png 300w\"><\/a><\/div>\r\n<h3><strong>Irving<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like Arlington, Irving packs a lot in a small package. The city is close to Dallas and Fort Worth, also small enough to easily get around. People love its diversity. There is something for everyone here. The city is especially popular as a suburban home for young professionals thanks to its schools, nightlife, art community, and affordable homes &#8211; $341,000. And DFW is just 15 minutes away.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Plano<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plano is a hot-spot area in Dallas for people who want to start families and find homes in the middle of established suburban areas. You get all that the big city has to offer, and still, there are many beautiful parks and convenient amenities such as restaurants, gyms, theaters, and museums within walking distance. Many couples like this accessibility because they can walk to work or school with their kids rather than drive around town.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Austin<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Austin is the capital of Texas and equally known for its music and creative scene and, more recently, as a booming tech hub. Its creative and more liberal pulse combined with the state\u2019s tax savings is turning this city into the next Silicon Valley. A lot is happening here, which has made Austin one of the country\u2019s most\u00a0<\/span><b>beloved\u00a0cities<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Austin has a reputation for live music and is known as the \u201clive music capital of the world.\u201d Here you can find the world-famous music events South by Southwest and Austin City Limits.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Austin loves its creativity, resulting in its other slogan of \u201cKeep Austin Weird.\u201d Even the area\u2019s liberal politics is unconventional in Texas terms. Individuality and expression have resulted in a wide range of people, art, activities, and interests, all inside and around a backdrop of beautiful nature. And the creativity has put it near the top of foodie cities in Texas, all while being on the FBI\u2019s list of safest cities to live. It is also environmentally conscious and known as the \u2018greenest\u2019 city in Texas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Austin is experiencing tremendous growth (the fastest in Texas), and an already low supply of housing and increased population with high incomes are creating an inflated housing market, so be sure to shop here early. It\u2019s average home price is $557,000 in 2023, compared to the Dallas average of $309,000 , and Texas of $301,000.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>Looking to make the move? We have <a href=\"\/tx\/austin\/movers\/\">local movers in Austin<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h3>Round Rock<\/h3>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This gorgeous city is just 20 miles north of downtown Austin. Round Rock is known for its incredible outdoor opportunities and 19th-century history. The area has gained a lot of attention in the past few years because of its affordable living, highly rated schools and thriving downtown.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its combined property tax and utility rates are among the lowest in the region. The typical home value in Round Rock in 2023 is $467,000, well below Austin\u2019s $557,000. Round Rock is home to award-winning parks and is one of the safest cities its size in the nation. Because of all its perks, Round Rock is one the U.S.\u2019s fastest-growing cities. The city was also the winner of the prestigious Comprehensive Planning Award from the American Planning Association.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Cedar Park<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cedar Park is just thirty miles from Austin, offering plenty of job opportunities. Still, the average cost of living is 9% cheaper than the rest of the United States and 10% cheaper than Austin.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cedar Park also excels as a home for outdoor activities, such as hiking, horseback riding, and kayaking. There are also many entertainment venues to take part in, such as championship golf courses, parks with museum experiences, theaters, and more. If you enjoy the arts, you can find galleries showcasing all types of artwork.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a wide variety of different types of restaurants to keep you entertained. And the city is safe and has low crime rates.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>College Station<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">College Station is a booming college town that provides a great, young community. In the last few years, College Station has been recognized as one of the top housing markets, with many different styles of restaurants. The school district here is also one of the best in the state and has received many awards recently.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for a small-town feel but close to a large city, College Station is perfect. It also has a low crime rate, making it an attractive place to live. The median home price here is $330,000, 10% higher than the state average. With College Station\u2019s ties to Texas A&amp;M University, the city has a well-deserved youthful vibe and active community. On First Street you\u2019ll find cafes, restaurants, and shops. There are also over 30 public parks located throughout the city that provide many different recreational activities for visitors.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3456 lazyload\" title=\"The Best Places to Live in Texas, Hands Down Bellhop Blog\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"The Best Places to Live in Texas, Hands Down Bellhop Blog\" width=\"1880\" height=\"1056\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1880px) 100vw, 1880px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/downtown-houston.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/downtown-houston.jpg 1880w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/downtown-houston-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/downtown-houston-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/downtown-houston-1024x575.jpg 1024w\"><\/figure>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>San Antonio<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/blog\/the-best-neighborhoods-in-san-antonio\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">San Antonio<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0is a beautiful city and one of Texas\u2019 most famous cities for tourists.

Still, this oasis has above-average schools and a thriving nightlife and community, but employment isn\u2019t strong here compared to other cities. The top industries center around food, government, trade, and transportation. Home values average $211,000 as a result.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h3><strong>Frisco<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frisco is a suburb north of Dallas and one of the faster-growing city in Texas, and for good reasons.

It is also a cultural melting pot with 150 nationalities.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Houston is home to many major corporations and offers job opportunities that range from blue-collar work to white-collar jobs. Other than New York, no location has more Fortune 500 countries. NASA is also based here.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The employment, big city vibe, and diverse population are the most appealing aspects of Houston.
