Frisco, TX ( prsafe ) March 29, 2012 - Relocation can be stressful. There are so many unknowns - what the job situation will be, where will be the best place to live, what the schools will be like, where will they find the things they need. Someone who has never lived in a city before simply cannot be expected to know these things; this kind of knowledge can only be gained through familiarity and experience. What is really useful in this situation is to have a friend who knows the place from the inside, who has done the research and the legwork and can share their information with the incoming settler. People planning Austin relocation should let Austin Metro Guide be their friend on the inside.

Austin has so much to offer those who relocate to the city - great entertainment, a good school system and an excellent quality of life. In the 1990s this city became known as 'Silicone Hills' after high-tech industries began to establish offices here: Apple, Google, IBM and Intel are just a few of the companies who have bases here. Because of this, the local economy is flourishing. The weather draws people as well, with its hot, sunny summers and mild winters. With a wealth of entertainment options from film festivals to live music to sports events and incredible shopping, it is hardly surprising that Austin has been named Best Big City to live in by online polls.

Austin Metro Guide provides all the information needed by anyone planning Austin relocation. It has an online job search through which users can peruse the current employment opportunities in the city and even apply for any relevant jobs. The housing search section enables the user to browse houses and apartments for sale or rent in all the different areas of the city, check their location on a map and click on them in order to be linked directly to an agent's website where they can get more information. The schools section maps the location of all types of educational institutes, all the way from day care up to universities; simply click on one to discover how it is rated and reviewed by parents and teachers as well as how well its students achieve and a host of other useful statistics. Once registered on the site, users have access to My Metroguide, on which they can create a profile and save the choices that are most relevant to them. The useful thing about this is that they can then print the maps that display the information they need. There are also sections on healthcare, entertainment, essentials and shopping/dining options - quite literally everything someone planning Austin relocation would need to know before they get here and while they are settling in.

Austin Metro Guide is the friend in the know needed by anyone planning to relocate to this vibrant, friendly city.
