The wife and I are planning for the future and want to get closer to Austin - but we aren't big city people.
However, we want to be able to go to town for date nights and take advantage of all the events/activities/opportunities places like Austin have to offer our kiddos.
Commuting would not be a concern for us. Ideally, we would like to purchase in a neighborhood with bigger lots and young families.
On paper, Dripping Springs seems right up our alley. Though not having spent any time there (both of us and our families have lived and worked almost exclusively in the Brazos Valley) and not knowing anyone who has, we do not have a good idea of what to expect.
I want to know the good, the bad, the ugly, and any opinions regarding any other Austin suburbs - specifically we would like to be West or North of Austin, according to my wife. =)
TIA
