The Lone Star state is a place like none other. No matter what type of life you are looking to have, a state as large as Texas shouldn’t give you any trouble in finding exactly where you’ll be happy living. Regional differences are present throughout Texas, but overall  there’s a strong economy, beauty and happiness  to be found everywhere throughout the state.

In Texas, it’s never a matter of finding the good areas and knowing where to avoid. Here, it simply comes down to finding the place that’s right for you and your life. So whether you are a life-long Texan considering other parts of the state or a newcomer looking to learn where would be best for you, here’s the cities that renters love the most.

Austin

For those looking to be around as many tech opportunities as possible, Austin will likely be the best option to try and find a rental. It’s the home to Bumble, Miro, Duo Security, and numerous other tech giants. With plenty of tech companies located in and around the city, rentals will be priced higher than what might be found elsewhere in the state but as long as you can justify the price, it’ll be worth it.

The pull of Austin doesn’t end at its job offerings either. Many choose to rent here for the thriving music scene thanks to the venues and festivals they call the city home. Between the tech giants, venues, and the University of Texas at Austin, anyone young, or young at heart, will feel right at home here.

Dallas

It’s important to remember that strong job markets don’t always have to correlate to tech hubs. For those looking for a strong professional market that gives more options outside of tech, it’s worth considering a look at Houses for rent in Dallas. Several Fortune 500 companies such as American Airlines, ExxonMobil, and JPMorgan Chase call Dallas home but there are also hundreds of other companies offering amazing opportunities in nearly all industries.

Dallas also makes a great home for those looking to have a perfect balance of urban and outdoor recreation in their lives. Right outside of the city, residents will find several parks and preserves, such as Katy Trail and White Rock Lake, for whenever they are looking to stretch their legs a little with some light hiking or mountain biking.

Houston

This is the largest city in the state and with size comes options. If you aren’t sure exactly what you are looking for, a city this size will give you options to see what you want out of life. Being a renter here means you’ll have time to learn a little more about yourself without committing to living arrangements for any longer than your lease.

While you learn if Houston is right for you, you’ll be able to enjoy an excellent food scene as well as superb, world-class museums and an inclusive, welcoming arts community. Die-hard sports fans will also love it here as it’s home to both the Houston Rockets and the Astros.
