Got something to say?










Wow! I’m a KW Agent in Minneapolis and love coming down to Austin for Mega Camp, etc. I have recently mentioned to my hubby that this is a great place for us to retire. Not sure, yet. I would love to hear comments on what y’all think of the area for retirement. I’m open, but I think it’s better than NC, SC and TN. Bug-wise, anyway!
Hey Jeanie- I hope you got my bragadocious email about Austin
For others, don’t forget that Austin was named among AARP’s retirement-friendly cities and aren’t Austin’s retirees cool???
