I’d sure hate to be on that last list.
I live near La Vernia southeast of San Antonio down in Wilson county, not to bad, San Antonio is the cheapest of the major cities in the country to live in. Lots of stuff to do with or without kids. Gunsmiths and ranges are plentiful and the surrounding areas are pretty nice. Your dollar goes pretty far. Your 2 hrs from the coast (Corpus Christi), three hrs from Houston (5 from Dallas/ft worth) and 5 from Lake Charles (if you gamble). Mexico is a couple hrs down the road and so is Marble Falls (opposite direction). 1.5 hrs to Fredericksburg and hospitals and Military bases abound.
That being said, Lots of folks have mentioned Brownwood and there is a whole lot to be said for that area too. Brownwood/Brady/ Llano area still has reasonably priced land, good hunting and there are jobs to be had. I hunt in that area and spend a good deal of time up there. All this talk has made me hungry for some Underwoods fried chicken and a BBQ beef steak... all you "Brownwoodies" know what im talking about.
Dont forget to try the BBQ at Coopers an LLano and good luck friend.

I really like the Hill Country, but the cedars there are not nose friendly. At one point I planned to retire there, not anymore.
Waco is a decent place to live, lots of suburbs (McGregor, China Spring, Woodway, just not on the north side (Bellmead, Lacy Lakeview). And there is a ton of acreage within 30 minutes of town.
I like the Canton area, very pretty, slower pace. Close to DFW for serious shopping and entertainment.
Somewhere SW of Ft Worth. Lots of options, good climate, nice terrain, many farm type options.

Since Midland and Odessa are both in the top 5, I’m going to say the people that made that list are looking for different things than I am.
Kerrville is without exception the best town I've ever lived in! Twenty thousand (+/-) in the city and twenty thousand in the county (+/-), and 45 min. to San Antonio (if one absolutely needs to go). Low taxes, small schools, and great "seasonal" weather, as well as lots of friendly people.
And that Gibsons Store there.....
I did, back in the 70's. Now it's nothing but an overpriced tourist trap. Price land around there if you don't believe it.
'Zactly!
Kerrville is 30 minutes from the high priced land.
Say WHAT???????
I like Waxahachie but it may be getting too big. I live just north of there now and we have been looking at houses near Maypearl which is just west of Waxahachie. I like being just outside of Dallas but it's a little to crowded up north.
College Station is getting crowded and is having trouble keeping up with growing population. Also Brazos Valley area recently listed as 2nd most expensive place in Texas after Austin, when you include property taxes, etc. I’d like to be somewhere else.
And how did THEY get there?? Give it up and just keep "Austin Weird".
