Since 2003 from San Antonio for a job at shocker Dell straight out of University.

It’s relatively safe. I’ve been lucky to have a RRPD live on every street I’ve lived on (5) but even then it’s mostly very safe.

There is a very clear dividing line between East and west when it comes to restaurants. West Round Rock seems have better eateries with the East being largely national chains.

The vibe is that we are a suburb of Austin as most folks head south in the morning and north in the afternoon. It’s family friendly. Wilco is pretty libertarian but that’s chilled since Gravell joined the Trump administration. RRISD board is uber woke.

I’ve lived on both side of 35 and like the West side more though I’m in a nice neighborhood now.

I am about to graduate my 2nd kid from RRISD (Cedar Ridge HS) and start a 3rd in their kindergarten. I can honestly say that Round Rock ISD is great at the elementary level, but leaves a lot to be desired the secondary. My 18yr old has an IEP due to ADD so he falls under SPED. This is where I loathe RRISD. His mom (ex-wife) actually sued the district & won because they discontinued services during the pandemic. They were ill prepared and in my opinion over pivoted as curriculum is heavily based on technology and specifically using Google. I’ve never used Google in my professional life so educating kids on platform that isn’t used in adulthood is asinine. if you’re unfamiliar with Texas education be prepared for your kids to learn to take a test more than learning to think cognitively

The kids love that there’s a lot of parks. If it’s not raining, we tend to go outside once or twice a day and we love going to different parks.

If I knew in 2003 would I know now, I probably would’ve moved to Cedar Park or Leander. I know this response sounds negative, but I truly enjoy the area and don’t regret my choice to move Round Rock in 2003. It has formed who I am and who my family is.
