By Pammy McGrath


One of the most popular areas for tourism in Texas is Texas Hill Country which boasts beautiful and unusual scenery as well as some of the best towns and cities in the state. If you have visited and love the area, you might be thinking about making a move to this region. If so, consider making one of the following places your permanent home.

Fredericksburg is a beautiful historic town located in Gillespie County and within about 90 minutes from Austin and San Antonio. You can opt for a cute historic home near the downtown area or perhaps opt for a ranch house on a large piece of property or just a modern suburban type of home. Fredericksburg has many fun events throughout the year, as well as galleries, museums, restaurants, wineries and many more attractions.

Slightly larger with around 23,000 people, Kerrville is another possible city to consider as your new hometown. The Guadalupe River meanders through the town, and it is well known for the many parks that rest upon the shoreline. Kerrville also is home to Schreiner University, a private university with about 1,100 students. The town hosts a variety of big events during the year, such as the Kerr County Fair as well as the Kerrville Folk Festival and the Texas State Arts & Crafts Fair.

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.

For those who wish to be close to a large metropolis, you might consider moving to San Antonio. This is the most visited city in Texas, and millions of tourists take tours of the downtown area and The Alamo as well as enjoying the attractions along the scenic River Walk. There are housing options to fit virtually any person's tastes or their budget.
