I lived in Manor recently, and 290 toll gets congested AF during the afternoon right in front of the school. I ended up using Parmer for pretty much everything North, 290 for downtown, and 973 for anything South. One nice aspect of Manor is how close you are to the airport.

There's actually 70 single residence homes in Austin proper below 300k. Most are east of i-35, and all are east of mopac. This includes used homes. If you filter it to 2010 or newer it is still 23 homes. Some of the locations are not ideal for schools or crime, but I don't Austin is as bad as some other larger cities. If you remove the 2010 filter, and require 5/10 schools or better, you are left with 5 homes, so keep that mind, and one is surprisingly in 78750 - central north Austin, but is super outdated and sold by the owner. So consider Austin proper, but you will need to make different sacrifices versus the suburbs this video described. The biggest advantage is likely these areas are mostly built up and less vulnerable to new constructions, and are more developed as a community. The downsides are neighborhood rep, much better commute times to the CBD, most of these homes are average schools or worse, and same goes for crime. I would try to filter to close to the average for these and you still have a few. Going up to 350k to 375k alleviates a lot of this. At 350-375, older options in NW Austin are possible with good crime stats and schools, but it will be smaller and older. Since this video was made, there is also more vulnerability in the south due to Tesla layoffs, new constructions and higher inventories. The market overall has soured a bit, but I think it is now a balanced market, but the softer areas are starting to crack.

Old Settlers Park in Round Rock is an awesome amenity

This was super helpful, thank you!!
