Moving to Dripping Springs? Start Here.
Welcome to my blog — a place where you can dig into everything I know about living in Dripping Springs, Southwest Austin, and the greater Austin Hill Country. I'm Laura McCallum, a local Realtor helping buyers relocate to Central Texas from Austin, SW Austin, and out of state. This is where I write down all the stuff I explain on my first call: real neighborhood guides, school info, tax rates, and honest boots-on-the-ground answers about what living here actually looks like.
If you're comparing East Drip and West Drip, wondering what a MUD tax actually costs you, trying to figure out whether Caliterra or Headwaters is the better fit, or you just want the real story on the schools — you'll find it here. My goal is to save you months of confusion and give you the same lay of the land I give every client I work with.
