The north Dallas area is your best bet for schools, jobs and affordability.
Avoid Houston like the plague just because of the schools. |

I don't know where they would like to live. But Houston has the largest medical center in the country.

The most important thing to consider is how they vote, if they're blue voters we're full. If they vote red, Texas is a big diverse place, I'm sure they can find a place to fit them.....unless, they want snowy winters or mountains.

Houston for medical centers, but like said before schools such but surrounding areas have small town vibes, better schools and short commute to work. Also just north of Austin like Round Rock and Georgetown have been growing and aren't liberal like Austin is.

Central Texas, many many good hospitals all close together to find jobs. Cost of living is pretty dirt cheap if you stay out of Austin. Killeen has Metroplex and Seton and Fort Hood's Darnall within 15 minutes of each other and a ton of great affordable housing outside of the city with easy going and expanding highway. Temple has Scott and White and Scott and White Childrens, and the Temple VA that is also within 30 minutes of Killeen. Again, affordable housing outside the city. If you choose to go where dragons are, Austin has more hospitals than you can shake a stick at and on the opposite direction is Waco with Providence and Hillcrest. At the moment I35 has shit tastic road due to construction but in a few years it should be up and running. Central Texas gives you 4 different hospital systems all in about a hours distance of each other. A small town like Salado, Jarrel, or Lampasas (has Rollins Brook hospital) would not be a bad place to live- gets you out of the ghetto into a semi rural nice school and it is within driving distance of all those cities in about a hour.

It's a tough call. The best jobs for those skills will be in Houston or Dallas. The traffic in both places is something that has to be experienced to be believed. I can't stomach wasting so much time sitting in traffic. And any housing close the big medical centers will be either very expensive or undesirable for other reasons.
Hell, they just announced that the Austin metro area is now over 2 million people. Don't even ask about the commute times here. |

Well, there are great hospitals in Austin. Smaller city, but growing. I used to live in Cedar Park, 20 min commute. But bought land a year ago & now have an hour & half commute. (Lampasas, it is awesome!)
The hospitals are Seton & St David's medical systems. The new Dell Medical Center /Dell UT Medical School will be opening soon. |

Waco is.. people are ready to throw down and fight over the most minor stupid shit. It's a violent city.
I still love Waco, always will, but there is no denying that something is off there. And it's not just me, other people have noticed. I even saw a theory in some story about the subject once that it's something about the Bosque river water. Who knows? And yes, Baylor is still the ruling institution and that's not necessarily good. |

Houston has the pre-eminent Medical Center in the U.S., if not the world.
That being said, a thirty minute drive to it would put you in areas you'd not like to live. Deal with the commute, move North of Houston. Great schools in Tomball, Magnolia, Klein, the Woodlands etc. The Woodlands for High-end suburban yuppie settings with running trails and BMW drivers and nose-in-the-air upscale people, though many there just understand they have to put up with this for quality living and great schools. Just outside of the Woodlands in Northern Tomball and Magnolia you can find acreage and conservative values and good people. Great schools too. Just have to understand you may have to drive a little farther to the Kroger/HEB/Walmart etc. and a bit of a ways to the Med Center. That being said, the Woodlands has a medical corridor now between FM 242 and the Woodlands Parkway that is par-excellent, so, y'all may be able to find what you want on a closer commute. Good luck. And I will welcome you to the North side and I do relatively low cost transfers and work on ARs..LOL. Cheers |

Also, whoever designed the road system in San Antonio...well let's just say they didn't have any fucking clue what they were doing an leave it at that. Now, whoever designed the freeways had to have know exactly what they were doing, which was trying to cause congestion and accidents. Seriously, the roads in Iraq were way better laid out (and for the most part, better paved). |
