    Austin, Texas has a reputation for being a modern, hip city perfect for new tech professionals. Home to the famed SXSW (South by Southwest) music festival, the city is also the headquarters of Dell and is seeing significant growth in biotech and software companies. Austin has a humid, subtropical climate, which means the winters are short and the summers are long and hot.

    Austin has had the highest tech migration rate in the nation over the past year, according to Bloomberg BusinessWeek. That statement alone grabs the attention of anyone in technology, and for good reason: tech professionals now know that they can work from anywhere they choose, so why not choose a fantastic home like Austin?
