Welcome to Highway290West.com !

This website can be a good resource for those seeking to live or invest in Central and South Austin. The links on the left have information about a wide variety of topics from Dog Parks to Vineyards. Central Business District information to Farmer's Markets. Having migrated to Austin in 2006, I must say that Austin has been kind to me. Austin is a vibrant and innovative city with great restaurants, good people and some rather fine music. The lakes and rivers coupled with wonderful topography make Austin unique among the well known cities in Texas. I learn something new each day, and in Austin each day is a good one.....
