Yet Another Great Reason Why Austin is a Great Place to Live

Forbes Magazine just ranked Austin the #3 most “recession proof” city in the nation.

The findings were based on the housing market, which continues to stay stable , the unemployment rate, which is estimated to be around 3.6%,  and growth in agriculture, energy and manufacturing. San Antonio, Dallas/Ft. Worth and Houston also made the list.

 In addition to this honor, Austin was also ranked as one of the top 10 of the nation’s “greenest” retirement destinations by U.S. News and World. Factors considered were the number of urban parks and wilderness preserves. Zilker Park in particular was recognized for its mix of recreational and natural settings.
