Patten Properties, a leader in premium recreation and residential property continues to see growing demand for property in Texas, especially from buyers moving here from other States. 

“Buyers are searching for the perfect place to put down roots – welcoming communities that embody Southern hospitality and charm, together with conveniences, amenities and natural beauty all around, plus tax benefits and a dynamic employment market. Texas has all this and more with world-class shopping, culture and sports, as well as top hospitals and health care facilities to suit the most discerning residents,” says Andrea Castro, Land Specialist.

Texas, the nation’s second most populous state had the second largest gain in net domestic migration in recent years and during the two decades, the two largest Texas metropolitan areas, Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston moved from below the top five to positions four and five respectively.

Data shows a significant number of Californians moving to Texas, with over 80,000 — many in the high-tech sector — relocated there in 2019 alone. Dozens of California-grown companies such as Oracle, Hewlett-Packard and Tesla moved here also.

Lisa and Daryl Charlson recently bought property at Republic Grand Ranch.

Although California had been their home for over 50 years with its miles of beautiful beaches, abundant mountains, and endless sunshine, when they approached retirement they felt the cost of living was just too high in CA for how they want to live and travel in their retirement years.

The Charlsons have 5 adult children and several grandchildren in CA so they wanted to live no more than a three-hour flight from Los Angeles. So, in the last few years in preparation for this move they visited many states to see what they had to offer. Lisa and Daryl visited Arizona, Washington, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, and Texas. And they chose Texas hands down!

One of the biggest reasons was the significantly lower cost of living. They found lower utility bills, absolutely amazing people, and the cost to buy or build a custom home at about 50% less than in California. 

They also have a group of friends, 8 couples altogether, who for the Charlsons, are also a part of their family. One by one they have been moving to Montgomery County, Texas and once they started visiting them to see what enticed them to retire to Texas, Lisa and Daryl were hooked too! One of the biggest things they noticed coming to Texas from California are the friendly generous people.

After researching thoroughly for the perfect retirement home, they decided to build exactly what they envisioned. So, the hunt was on for the perfect piece of land to build a dream home on. When they found Republic Grand Ranch, they knew it was where they wanted to build. RGR is such a beautiful development with over 5,000 acres of lush trees, high elevations, and private spacious lots. It was the perfect fit as a master planned community and it offered everything they were looking for, and more.

 Lisa Charlson summed it up in sharing, “The Patten team members we’ve been working with are so caring, and helpful. They go above and beyond every day to make the whole process fun and easy – especially our girl, Andrea, we just love her spunky personality and how great she is to work with. We are super excited about building our dream home and moving to Republic Grand Ranch in Willis, Texas.”
