Austin home searching.

It's a strange thing looking for a home in a city that I have only visited twice.  It's impossible to answer the questions asked from realtors about what areas and in what proximity?  All I do know is that I want to be in the real Austin, and I have now learned that is in the South side.  Locals draw a hard line through the city and tell me that anything North of this line is basically Dallas.  I lived in Dallas for four years can't really say anything nice about my time there or most of the people I met.  In Austin, strangers start conversations and shake your hand.

I feel like I have seen a hundred houses, and they all look the same.  Finding something unique will prove to be a difficult task.  I'm not sure how easily I can adapt to living in a normal setting after living in  a show stopper of a house before.  There is some old footage on HGTV of me in my studio back some years ago, I doubt I can match this place again.  Anyway, time to move out!
