Unique homes in Central Texas

In my business I see many homes each week. On occasion there are some real standouts in the unique homes category. I want to share one of those homes with you today. There is a Cobb house in Bastrop county for sale. This homes construction is unusual in Texas, but very common in England. When I went to England this spring I saw Cobb houses all over the countryside. This style of home has been around for hundreds of years. The walls are thick and curved and the roof is constructed of traditional thatch. Here are a few pictures to peruse on this cold rainy afternoon. Let me know what you think about this unusual cottage.

Enjoy!

The list you really don't want to be on!! The ten most dangerous citys in the USA from CQ Press.

CQ Press an independent publisher just released a list of the ten most dangerous cities in the US. Thankfully Austin Texasis not on this top ten! It seems to be the only one we are NOT on! In this day and age we all want your families to be safe and it gets harder everyday. The weak US economy is making things difficult on more people. The holiday season intensifies things, as fewer people can afford necessities much less luxury items. the holidays also tempt thieves with cars full of shopping bags. Crime rates are on the rise across the country as people struggle to make ends meet. It seems that some people take the criminal way out and hurt others in the process. It is hard to believethat home invasions have become commonplace, when ten years ago they were unheard of. Below is an excerpt from CQ Press's findings. to see the entire list you may go to their website: http://www.cqpress.com/product/City-Crime-Rankings-2008.html

"Find out how your community fares in the fight against crime. This new edition of City Crime Rankingsprovides easy-to-understand crime comparisons for cities and metro areas throughout the United States. Numbers, rates and trends for total crime, violent crime, murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, property crime, burglary, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft are presented in both alphabetical and rank order for all metro areas and cities of 75,000 or more population. Also included are numbers and rates of police in cities. Americans want to know about crime in their communities. City Crime Rankings 2008-2009provides this essential information in one comprehensive, user-friendly volume."- CQ Press

How walkable is your home city? Zilker Park scores 82 out of 100

city man walking

My hometown is Austin Texas and it is fairly walkable, it really depends on what part of town you live in. If you live downtown or in Zilker or Travis Heights or Hyde Park neighborhoods it is very walkable. My house in Zilker is rated as an 82 out of 100 being a perfect walking city score. If you live in the burbs, you may require a car for those trips to the store. Here is a nifty website to see just how walkable your neighborhood is. www.WalkScore.com.
