What y’all got????

A hospital would be nice. Major airport within a couple hours. Affordability. Things to do.

I like Athens, Graham, maybe Tyler.

For country living I'd say Mason. City liviing we like San Angelo. Of course not everyone can take the heat and lack of rain. But we love it here. Good hospital and great hunting/fishing.

House in the area with acreage or in town? Hobbies? Fish?

Can you say sticker shock? These areas are extremely overpriced.

Acreage is good. But fairly close to a town (15 minutes).

Hobbies. I do fish, hunt, hike. Watch tv.

Richland Chambers has interested me. But would like to have animals.

I would pick Tyler for my major shopping and healthcare hub above the metroplex any day. Several areas between there and Canton are nice. Not a fan of Athens, Caucasian’s are definitely in the minority, which is fine, just know what you’re signing up for.

Canton is a consideration. Grand Saline also.

Some where outside of San Angelo, like between Bronte and Angelo or Ballinger. Or the same with Abilene, Cisco to the east, Stamford to the north, Winters to the south. Abilene and San Angelo both have good medical facilities, good Doctors, and if you are a veteran good VA clinics. Small acreages are still reasonable, better if you go farther west. Also there is Coleman to the southeast of Abilene, also close to Hwy 67 to get to you in to DFW

I’m finding some homes in New Braunfels affordable, given that it’s way better than living here in San Antonio

Fort Bend county sucks, especially. In the Katy-Fulshear area. Don't even consider it.

If I had my way we'd be living in Alpine. Wife says it's too far from the grandkids.

San Angelo is starting to grow on me and the wife for retirement. She loves to fish, I love to hunt. Housing is really affordable in Angelo. Has a mall, HEB, Wally Worlds etc oh and tweekers, lots of tweekers.

The tweeks wouldn't keep us away. I like San Angelo. We had considered Canyon Lake but meh not to sure on that anymore.

What about Bandera? Had a friend from there. He always talked about it. I’ve never been.
