Austin is great. I love it. Nightlife is the the best. As mentioned there's 6th street. It's a street similar to full of bars, most have live music. But "6th" is mostly for the younger crowd. If you're over 25 or 30 you're more likely to hang in the "warehouse district" which is the same as 6th, but an older crowd and only a block away from 6th.
Lot of year round music and film festivals such ACL Fest, SXSW, etc.
Austin real estate does not seems to have hit the skids like the rest of the country. It still seem "cheap" compared to a lot of places. $850K can get you a nice custom 4 bedroom 3,500 SF house with hillcountry or lakeviews.
I am going to start house shopping around the end of the year. I don't have any business downtown, so I'm going to look west side. Westlake Hills, Steiner Ranch or Lakeway.
Weather can get upwards up 100 in the summer months. 85-95 is normal. Humidity is not bad. I come form Houston where it's like 95 degree with 100% humidity in the summer. You walk outside andyour clothes stick to you.
If your house browsing, I would look at anything west of Mopac (Hwy 1) westward all the way to the lake. Nothing north of 183, and nothing south of 290 West.
All the areas here are going to be your prime Austin real estate with possible hill country and lake views.
There's other areas that are nice such as Circle C, And northward in Round Rock and Georgetown. But those areas I feel are more for families with 3.5 children and people who want to do the suburb life and don't care about the lake or hillcountry views.
In the summer the lake is packed with 1,000's of smoking hot 22 year old girls.
For a 2nd home with no kids, I would be looking around Lakeway, Lago Vista and Hudson Bend. Maybe Steiner Ranch.
