The challenge is if you need to work in tech and eventually need to commute daily/weekly to headquarters. You'll need to be within 30 minutes of Austin if you want to be in new tech (Apple, Google) or 30 minutes of Dallas/Houston if you are okay with legacy tech (HP, IBM). And you'll want to be in a good school district with like minded high income folks with restaurants options.
You'll likely be paying close at best the equivalent of Silicon Valley housing.
