Relocating from San Antonio to Austin? It’s not just a new house — it’s new schools, new traffic patterns, and a completely different rhythm of life. A little planning makes the transition smoother and helps you hit the ground running.
Moving from San Antonio to Austin

Schools

Austin’s school districts are strong, but they vary by area. If education is a deciding factor, focus here first.

  • Eanes ISD: Consistently ranked among the best in Texas. Homes here cost more, but parents say it’s worth it.
  • Lake Travis ISD: Newer schools, great athletic programs, a good option if you want more space west of town.
  • Round Rock ISD & Leander ISD: Popular for families looking for a strong academic track in the suburbs.

Check attendance zones before you pick a neighborhood. They shift sometimes, and you don’t want a surprise after you’ve signed a lease or closed on a house.

Neighborhoods

Austin has a neighborhood for every lifestyle.

  • South Austin: Quirky and close to San Antonio for weekend visits back home.
  • Northwest Austin: Suburban feel, good schools, close to tech employers.
  • East Austin: Trendy, artsy, but getting pricey.
  • Buda and Kyle: Growing quickly — more house for the money and easy access to I-35.

Drive the area before you decide. Rush hour can turn a 15-minute drive into 40.

Commute

Austin traffic has a reputation for a reason. Test-drive your route at the time you’ll actually be commuting.

  • Working downtown? Living near Mopac or close to a MetroRail station can save hours.
  • Heading to The Domain? Northwest Austin or Round Rock keeps you close to major employers.
  • Driving back to San Antonio often? South Austin or Buda will shave time off the trip.

Knowing what you’re up against before you move helps avoid unpleasant surprises.
