We moved to pflugerville for a safeplace to live. Now the crime is up and I dont want my kids outside by themselves. Quit worrying about affordable houseing and multi family homes. Lets get back to a place where people cared about their neighbors and neighborhoods where it is okay for the kids to play outside.
The crime may be coming from a place that is TOO affordable to live. We have plenty of affordable housing. We need upscale housing and no more apartments.
I agree. There seems to be too much talk about building new apartments and more "affordable" housing. Pflugerville already has enough "affordable" housing! I moved my family to Pflugerville to get away from apartments and low end housing and to live in a safer environment. Unfortunatly, burglaries and car break ins seem all too common in my neighborhood. If things continue to progress I will be moving my family out of pflugerville and to someplace with less crime and lower taxes!
It's too true, unfortunately. I did most of my growing up here, ultimately graduating from Pflugerville High School in the mid 90's. When I was little, it was absolutely no problem for my brother and I to ride our bikes all over town by ourselves. Sadly, it's just not the same town anymore... I was a victim of an auto break-in (parked in my driveway) last year, and it really opened my eyes to how things had changed!
I completely agree with your statements about "affordable housing," as it seems to bring more of the upwardly-mobile who want to live in a nice suburb like P-ville. However, crime has come along for the ride too. I've noticed that a lot of kids are out at all hours of the night in my neighborhood, which makes me wonder what the parents are doing!! As the demographics of our once-humble farm town change, so does the crime rate, I guess.
The best we can all do is be smart about securing our family/homes, educating ourselves, staying vigilant, and looking out for our neighbors.
If you find someplace with less crime, please let us all know. There is crime everywhere. Be realistic. I'm not saying more can't be done but we have a good police force. I lived in Austin and never saw the police. Here when I call about something I get a quick response. Sadly, the economy encourages vandalism and petty crime, as well as more major incidents but that is happening everywhere.
Pflugerville has plenty of affordable housing. We need to focus our growth on high end housing and businesses that encourage high end growth (like improved restaurants and shopping). Lakeway and Cedar Park have done better than most central texas suburbs. We really need to look at what they have done well and use that information. Our new shops are nice (would give them a 4 out of 5), but the new IKEA shopping center in round rock is much nicer (a 5 out of 5). The differences are the trees, playscape near restaurants (great for families), etc.
I moved to Pflugerville from Georgetown because there are such nice trails and it's close to Austin. Unfortunately, I plan on moving within the next year because I want to have a family and don't want to raise a family in these surroundings. I'm a big supporter of high density growth but if that's going to be done in Pflugerville it needs to be higher end condos in mixed use areas not apartments. From what I've seen, even the most expensive homes in Pflugerville are affordable compared to Austin. Now that east Austin is getting gentrified Pflugerville is the closest and most affordable place to move. Good job!
I live just off of palmer ln. in Austin,but most of my spending $$$ are spent in Pville,I have to agree about the apartments,don't build them in the city ,put them closer to the highway,also what's up with that hotel that just got built behind Chedders,it's an eyesore.Hotels need to be built next to the highway,only.

I agree with the posts here. My husband and I love Pflugerville! The city parks and trail system is great, we love the proximity to the toll roads, and just the city in general. However, we think that we will soon outgrow it as there aren't many upscale neighborhoods, so when we purchase our next house, we may have to move to Round Rock. --which is a shame. Also, I don't really see the need for more apartments as there already seem to be plenty--and there are plenty in North Austin and Round Rock as well.
We've lived in many places, including Austin. Austin has too many rules and tries to social engineer people. No place is perfect but we are finding a lot to like in Pflugerville.
