Greater Austin is the place to be. With one of the most unique cultures of any metropolitan area, friendly people, and one of the best bar and restaurant scenes around, it's not hard to see why. Few states are seeing population growth quite like Texas. The state's population just exceeded 30 million for the first time this past July. Many of the new residents coming in from out of state are settling down in the Austin area. It's actually one of the hottest real estate markets today.
