Hi, I’m Jeff Miller — and no, this site isn’t just another blog about brunch spots and Barton Springs selfies.
Greater Than Austin was born out of a simple idea:

Central Texas has so much more to offer than just downtown Austin.

I’ve lived, worked, and explored this region for years — from the quiet charm of Taylor to the wine-soaked hills of Dripping Springs to the bustling, ever-evolving suburbs of Round Rock. And I realized something:
Most people don’t know what’s out here — but they should.

This site is for you if:

- You’re thinking of moving to Central Texas

- You already live here and want to discover more

- You’re tired of the same five Austin headlines and want to go deeper

- You’re curious about the real people, places, and pace of life just outside the city

We spotlight local towns, give boots-on-the-ground video tours, uncover upcoming development and events, and yeah — we nerd out about road names too.

I’m also a local Realtor, based in Round Rock — so when people start asking “Where should I live out here?”… well, that’s kind of my favorite question.

But this site isn’t about selling homes — it’s about learning where you really belong.

Whether you're dreaming of more space, less traffic, or just something different, you're not alone — and you're in the right place.

This is Greater Than Austin. Welcome to the other side of Central Texas.
