Anyone here live in the Eastern outskirts of Austin?

We have an old friend who recently moved to the Austin area, but he is disabled (MS). He also sold in Pasadena (California, not Texas) to move there. We also know a relatively young couple (he's 37-ish, not really sure about her) who moved there, but she's from there. Our old friend seems to be enjoying himself, but after leaving SoCal, who wouldn't?
