Hey guys, Me and my family are strongly considering relocating to Texas. Currently we live in Kansas are interested in a change. We've been to Texas a few times. Once to Lake Fork and visited by grandpa in Corpus Christi. We love the state. Feels like it is it's own country. Anyways, a few things that are very important to us are good bass fishing, waterfowl hunting (we smash ducks and geese up here) and MOST importantly is schooling for my 10 and 13 year old boys. I also have Congestive Heart Failure and will need a transplant at some point in my future. So a great medical facility is important. Also unsure how the housing market is. Can $250K get us a decent house? Would prefer to have decently quick access to city living (restaurants, entertainment) etc. Thanks in advance.

Yes $250k can get a decent house. You should be looking in the far outskirts of any of the major cities, I would say east of Dallas is closer to most major bass lakes, I have no clue about the duck hunting.

UT Southwestern is one of the best hospitals in the nation for a heart patient including transplants...So you're gonna wanna be fairly close to Dallas...$250,000 will not go far in Dallas proper, but will buy a decent house in the suburb cities around Dallas.

I have been noticing that as well. We are trying to get further out from the Houston area.

The three major cities in Texas are Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. All three cities have excellent hospitals and specialty transplant hospitals as well. Houston is closer to good duck/goose hunting as well as good east Texas lakes. Dallas is also close to some major bass lakes as well. San Antonio is close to several good bass lakes and the hill country. Move into a smaller suburban city on the outskirts of any major city. New homes are going from $250000 to $350000 close to where I live. School districts are good in my area as well. I have lived in the San Antonio area just about my whole life and love it. Side Note: Cost of home varies on the size! Houses can upward to $400000 very easily.

Heartless, man - You forgot about the guys ticker. Houston area has great hospitals as well and can smash lots of ducks. Can't speak for the bass fishing. 250k buys you a starter home or in an older neighborhood.

Look up Sanger, Pilot Point, Crossroads, Aubrey, and Little Elm. Close to Ray Roberts, which is a decent bass lake, if your good it can be trophy hunters dream. Duck hunting is allowed, but have no clue. Other lakes within an hour drive as well as great medical facilities.

And will rule out the very best school districts. But you can still find $250k basic/fixer-upper houses in good school districts. Agree with comment about UT Southwestern, but unless you anticipate needing urgent treatment you could live hours away.

Texas can be split up into a half dozen Kansas size parcels. 1 of them will suite your needs. Some of them will not. Good luck with your search, many people have been coming in over the last 5 or so years

I have been noticing that as well. We are trying to get further out from the Houston area. $230,000 just bought a house in our neighborhood. Granted, it was a house owned by a hoarder...and hadn't been updated since the late 70's/early 80's....but it did recently have the A/C replaced. Seriously can't believe someone paid that much for that house. I figured $130,000 because it is 2600 to 2700 sq ft, but it needs a LOT of work. There have been 6-8 cars there everyday for the last week; looks like they are beginning to gut it.

check out the outskirts of greenville, some smaller acreages have been popping up in that area.

I’d look no further than Tyler area. Rolling hills of East Texas, Pine trees, awesome fishing and one the best heart hospitals in the state.
