Wrangling it All Together
A big shoutout to Redfin for shooing us into the soul of the Lone Star State, one step at a time. Now, ain’t that a chili pepper’s kick of information? So, for those folks thinking about trading their lasso for a pair of sneakers, these cities are rolling out the welcome mat.
Now to dish out my hot take: it looks like Texas isn’t all cowboy hats and riding into the sunset on horseback. It seems folks prefer to indulge in a two-step across town than a two-step on the dance floor. These cities are spreading the news that they’re all about step counts and heart rates, swapping horses for shoe soles. This ‘walkability’ might just be the new ‘ride off into the sunset.’ So strap on your walking boots, tip your hat to your horse, and take a stroll around these Texas townships. Remember, they’re all a hoot, and just as vibrant as a bowl of Texas chili!
