The award for Central Texas' Most Affordable City goes to Kyle, Texas. This wonderful city found in the middle of Texas Hill Country is the perfect place to raise a family. It is just far enough from the fast-paced metroplex while still being able to keep you active and involved.

Over the years Kyle has adapted the goal to grow in three things: healthcare, education, and retail. To date they are off to a very good start. The local schools have done an excellent job excelling and pushing the students to be the best they can be. Quaint little shops and boutiques line downtown, and the healthcare field in Kyle is constantly growing.

Locals love laying out by the Kyle pool in the hot summer afternoons, teeing off at Plum Creek Golf Course, visiting the library--especially parents with young children due to the "storytimes" throughout the summer. Parents can also set the kids loose at the numerous parks, perfect for getting out some energy before dinner, grilling up a few hot dogs and having a little picnic. In addition residents can find themselves spending hours at the new Kyle Crossing. With more than two million square feet of retail and development, it has quickly become a big hit in the city.

To get the community together there are numerous events and activities throughout the year like the Kyle Fair and Music Festival, Tree Lighting Ceremony, and Halloween Carnival and Haunted House, each event is perfect for the entire family, regardless of age. Needless to say it won't take long to start recognizing faces and making friends.

While there's always something to do in Kyle, with San Antonio and Austin so close, why not utilize them? Down south in San Antonio you'll be overwhelmed by the rich culture, check out the Riverwalk, or Alamo, Tower of America or the Institute of Texas Culture. Besides those you'll find Fiesta Texas, Sea World, and the San Antonio Zoo, moving a little north is New Braunfuls and San Marcus with Schlitterbauhn, and the Comal or Guadalupe River for floating. Then north of Kyle, you hit Austin, home to the State Capital, and Barton Springs. Between the two locations you're sure to find whichever restaurant, store, or adventure you're looking for!

Kyle truly is the perfect place to live, and New Home Source has the perfect list of communities sure to include your perfect home.
