I live in San Marcos, which is 35 miles south of Austin and 45 miles north of San Antonio. San Marcos is the best kept little secret in Texas. Here I've got the best of Austin, San Antonio, urban, suburban, and rural life within quick reach. If you are considering a move, and you wouldn't mind a mid-sized city, you really ought to check out San Marcos.
Seaver has given you a pretty good rundown on Austin. It is all about music, youth, education, government, high tech, tourism, nature, and being Texan. In short, it is a great town.
The only negative I know of is Austin's tremendous growth and the awful traffic that goes with it. It has become a fact of life in Austin.
Where are you living now? What kind of job are you looking for?
