I've helped several friends sell homes in So Cal and move to the Austin area and they all love it. My one friend swears he'll never move back to So Cal where he was born and raised. We visited him last February and we really liked it back there as well.

Bug's. Rains alot more than the southwest.... I here it can rain for 30 days straight. You will need a much bigger garage. No big mountians..... It takes three days to leave the state of texas if your driving.
Shark attacks in the gulf happen alot more often.
Only one airport.

Austin has people congested all the time from stuff in the air, never stops, just changes with the season. Look at the Austin news channel weather sites, they list the pollen counts daily and you can get an idea of whats out there today (cedar pollen, oak pollen, mold spores, ragweed etc.)
A quick search found this : http://austin.about.com/od/allergies...Austinites.htm
Also, hers'e a link to one of the news channel sites: http://www.kvue.com/allergy/
My neice has a pretty strong case of asthma and visits all the time from Dallas. I do not recall any episodes for her while here. She's very active in sports and that's one reason she is here often.
If you get serious about it, The Texas State Health Department is here as well as several professional resources. You may want to look them up contact them and then share information with your kids doctor.
Of my friends and coworkers, it seems 80% have a reaction to something in the air at some point every year.

Its 833 miles from El Paso to Beamont or 12 hours driving straight. You need to get on it a little faster. And I don't think there is any sharks in Lake Travis.

We have those too. I've never seen one nor have I been threatened by one. Central Texas has very strong thunderstorms, so they come with the territory. Just don't buy a mobil home, those are tornado targets.
One more area really getting nice quick is Southwest Austin off HWY 71 West to HWY 620. Beautiful area, new everything, it's just west of the Oak Hill community. I'm on the western edge of Oakhill so I'm happy to see all the new development. General area is south western Westlake and Bee Caves and south end of Lakeway.
