There are plenty of criteria for a home purchase and accessibility is one of them. If you’re thinking about buying a home in Austin, you might want to consider the areas near the proposed stops for the soon-to-be-built Austin light rail project known as Austin MetroRail.  We recently contacted Bill Lejeune, Rail Road Manager for Capital Metro, and asked for more details on the individual stops. As you browse the list below, remember that the easiest way to find homes near these locations is to use our Map based search on www.austinhomelistings.com.
