If you have just had all of your children leave for college, you might be looking for a new place for you and your spouse to settle down. Austin, although an unlikely choice, seems to be the place for adults to go to when all of the “birds are out of the nest”.

When looking at all of the cities in the US, Forbes rated Austin one of the top ten places for parents of college students to go. They said that although there is quite a large college in the city, there are many cultural attractions that really interest the parents that are coming here. Forbes saw that Austin is a place to really think about an investment for the long term future.

Mayor Will Wynn seems to think that all of the new and upcoming housing, museums, and performing arts buildings are helping to attract the couples with children already off to college.

A huge project conducted by a Houston developer would transform a portion of East Riverside.

The current plan calls for redeveloping roughly 50 acres of land into a mass of apartments, both high and low density, as well as retail space. The majority of the property would feature apartments in building ranging in height from 4 to 8 stories. There is also one high rise building planned that would feature lake views.

In addition to redeveloping 50 acres, the development group plans on constructing new streets to help with the congestion this much development would bring. In addition, if the city decides to go forward with its plan to send a light-rail line down Riverside to the airport, this development would feature a stop very close to it. 

The property’s proximity to the Lady Bird Lake is part of what makes the area attractive and the source of a larger amount of development. The targeted demographic is among young professionals who have been forced out of the downtown market.
