The full relocation guide covers what housing costs, which section to look at, kosher shopping, schools, and how families actually get around on Shabbos — written for someone deciding whether Austin is the right community for them.
Read the Austin moving guide →Austin’s Orthodox community is small and growing with the city. Congregation Tiferet Israel is on Hart Lane in Northwest Hills, and the Chabad Center for Jewish Living is a few miles north on Spicewood Springs Road. The community mikvah, Mikvah Tahara, is at the Rohr Chabad center near the University of Texas campus, and the university has student minyanim of its own.
Families come for Austin’s technology and state-government jobs. Compared with Dallas and Houston, the community has far less infrastructure — fewer shuls, no Orthodox day school of its own that we have mapped, and limited kosher food — so an Orthodox family moving here should ask the shuls about schooling and shopping before choosing a street. By the Census ZIP figures, housing in Northwest Hills costs about as much as in Dallas’s Orthodox neighborhood and roughly twice as much as Houston’s.
