I went through this exercise pre-COVID. I started working remotely in 2017 as I had 17 years of experience at that point. I left Austin and moved to a small town in 2018 that's two hours west of Austin. > Any ideas on whether this mid-sized town dream exists... Sure it exists. > ...and/or how we’d go about finding it? Sure, you need to do your research and figure that out for yourself. I researched on the internet for about 18 months and did a lot of boots-on-the-ground investigation. I eventually moved to a small town in the Texas Hill Country that I adore. Low crime, very clean and beautiful environment, low cost of living, absolutely fantastic community and gigabit fiber internet. I then bought a second, larger home in a small town a little closer to Austin that is logistically a little more convenient and not so remote. But again, it has low crime, a local hospital, HEB grocery store, fantastic community and gigabit fiber internet. Just do your research. It's not so hard but it will take a little time. The peace and quiet combined with the cost of living is priceless. I couldn't be happier. I love it out here.
