In a report written by Caroline Howard and published at the official Forbes.com website, she explains that “Texas boasts a large number of Best Value Institutions.” Compiling a list of the top 25 colleges in the South, Texas managed to secure three posts:

How does this relate to individuals and families looking to invest in Austin real estate? Young families need not worry about access to quality education for their children when it’s time for them to enter college. As for millennials, Texas, most especially Austin, offers them better opportunities for career growth and easier options to return to school to further their education. Retirees can also benefit from the popularity of schools in the Texas area through investments in homes that may, in turn, be rented or purchased by individuals and families looking into moving to Austin in the coming years for its schools’ amazing track record.

No matter what kind of real estate investor you are, Austin is a very promising choice for you as it is projected to grow academically AND economically for the next three decades.
