Life in Taylor Texas Definitely Gets A Thumbs-Up! 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) It's sad to say, but there are so many bad places to live these days, and unfortunately a lot of times people don't know it until it's too late. Well, I'm here to tell you that Taylor, TX is one of the best places anyone could call home! Granted, our employment rates may be a lit ...Read More tle on the low side, but we're close enough to Austin for anyone to find a great job and live comfortably here. The weather is a dream, the people are wonderful, we have great schools and hardly any crime at all.

Living in Taylor means living in one of the best places in Texas for finding something to do for fun. We have the Austin Petting Zoo with the Wild Thing Zoofari for the kids, exploring at the Inner Space Cavern, and the unique (and a little scary!) fun of the Bats Under the Congress Avenue Bridge event, watching hundreds of bats take flight every night at dusk! Lots of local shops and cafes make for pleasant weekend outings. There is something for everyone here. Read Less
