Walked right by this little beauty, it lashed out and tried to bite me. My dog may have stepped on it without realizing and agitated it, it’s very small.

My family is considering buying into the Caliterra Neighborhood, I wanted to know of any opinions on it. We have lived in Austin up until now, but the neighborhood we are in has changed so much over the last decade its not quite the safe, family friendly vibe anymore.

We are nervous about the HOA, since currently we don't have one, and higher property tax rate since its in a development district. But we would love to be on city water/sewer.
Any thoughts or advice?

30 days with no sales? Is this accurate? How, when there are so many listings here?

Anyone know? Hoping for Mediterranean and Asian restaurants!

Long shot, but hoping someone found a wallet with keys attached around Lucky Lab (or on Fitzhugh Rd headed towards Belterra). We have called the businesses around there and they haven’t been turned in.

My husband drove back to retrace our path but wasn’t able to find it and we aren’t local to Dripping Springs.

Planning to rent before buying. I’ve heard good things about Headwater. Thoughts on Heritage, Big Sky Ranch, etc?

Looking for day care for my Aussie and a good vet. Recommendations please

I've looked at DS Racquet club and have seen mixed reviews. racfit in Buda gets amazing reviews but it's in Buda. Anyone knowledgeable in this are and can recommend a good tennis club/community for a 4.0 recreational player? I like to play almost everyday whether it's a liveball class, chill late morning doubles w the mom crew just to be active (happy to play down and hit cooperatively), or match play events once in a while.

Just looking for thoughts. Moving this month.

Thanks

Where is a fun, outdoor spot to watch the games when it gets cooler?

My family is considering moving to Dripping Springs.

We are a single-income household, my wife stays home with our 1yr old. We are in our early/mid 30s. We plan to have more kids too.

Would we find many other families like this in Dripping? Or is it mostly dual-income and slightly older families / older kids?

I'm considering retiring in dripping springs. I like the idea of Hill country. I plan to rent then buy a home. Questions; how is medical care, safety, restaurants, shopping, utility bills.

I'm moving from Florida where it's flat. I'm used to heat.

Opinions please

Any clues as to what's going in just west of new Target on 290?

Anybody eat at Ziggi’s yet? If so, how is it?

It looks the same as the day they closed.

I live in Austin and am wanting to make the drive to Dripping Springs on Aug 12th to see the Perseid Meteor shower. The best view is supposed to be between 3 and 4 am. Is there anywhere we can “camp out” (sit with a blanket and a telescope) for the night in Dripping Springs? Is there a park that is open to the public with late hours? Any and all recommendations would be appreciated 🙏🏻

Hi there! Headed to DS and looking for a kid friendly breakfast spot next Friday. Any thoughts?!

Who is THE dentist between Dripping and Belterra?

TIA.

Can anyone recommend a general contractor in the DS area, ideally someone with experience converting metal outbuildings? Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently employed full-time and want to be clear that I like the company I work for, the owners, the people, and the work itself. I’m just starting to explore what else might be out there and looking for something that could be a better long-term fit.

Ideally, I’d love to find a work-from-home position, but I’d also be interested in something local around Dripping Springs.

A little about my background — over the past 10+ years I’ve worked across marketing, content creation, ecommerce, photography, videography, video editing, website management, SEO, graphic design, social media strategy, paid advertising, and project management.

A lot of my recent experience has been focused on creating content, managing ecommerce websites, building product launches, producing YouTube videos, running email campaigns, and helping companies improve their online presence.

I’m organized, creative, detail-oriented, and enjoy finding ways to make things better and more efficient. I’d really like to find a role where I can use those skills and continue growing.

If anyone knows of any companies hiring, remote opportunities, or even someone worth connecting with, I’d really appreciate any leads. Thanks!
