If you’re planning to relocate to Bastrop, Texas, you’re not alone. Every week, I talk to people moving from across Texas — and across the country — looking for more space, better value, and a calmer lifestyle near Austin.
Here’s what I’d do if I were relocating to Bastrop in 2025:
1. Choose the Right Neighborhood for Your Lifestyle
Are you commuting to Austin? Working remotely? Need top schools or quiet country living? Bastrop has a little of everything — from established neighborhoods like Hunters Crossing, to scenic lots in Tahitian Village, to master-planned communities like The Colony. Your goals should guide where you land.
2. Consider Renting First (If You Have Time)
If you’re unfamiliar with the area, it’s worth considering a short-term rental before buying. This gives you time to explore Bastrop’s different pockets and get a feel for the local lifestyle without pressure.
3. Budget for the Full Move
Don’t forget to plan for closing costs, moving trucks, setup fees, utilities, and property taxes. Bastrop taxes can vary by subdivision, so it’s worth checking ahead of time to avoid surprises.
4. Think About Internet and Infrastructure
Most neighborhoods have good service, but rural homes can have limited options. If you work from home or have specific tech needs, let’s double-check before you fall in love with a property that’s not a fit.
5. Plug Into the Community Fast
Bastrop is a friendly, local-first town. Join a Facebook group, attend a church service, check out a festival, or grab lunch at a local BBQ joint. You’ll find that people are quick to welcome newcomers.
