As the capital of the "Lone Star State," the Austin area is very popular due to its lower taxes, affordable housing, and unique culture. The suburbs of Austin provide a more rural and family-friendly atmosphere while still maintaining proximity to urban life, so residents can take advantage of events like SXSW or the Formula One Grand Prix.

Two of the more sought-after suburban cities in the Austin area are Georgetown and Round Rock. Neighborhoods.com looked at both cities' schools, recreation, and more to spotlight what makes these cities great places to live.
