South Dallas, North San Antonio, Northwest Houston, or even far Eastern El Paso (OK, that's a stretch)
It's all about perspective, my friend. I live in Houston and it's bigger than Austin so Austin is just a very cool far flung suburb of Houston to most folks around here.
And I do mean "very cool" because Austin is by far the hippest, most fun city in Texas. I always tell people that if they would like to live in California but must remain in Texas for some reason, Austin's the place to live.
If I could move to Austin I'd do it in a heartbeat. But if I move it will be to this location:
