What it’s like
The place. Del Valle is a town in Travis County, Texas, where summers are very hot and winters are mild, with little or no snow. Rain comes through the year in fairly generous amounts. Most homes here are lived in by their owners, and many households rent, so neighbors come from a mix of living arrangements.
Work. Many residents work in professional and business services, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Jobs in the county grew over the past year, and unemployment stayed low. Some residents work from home, and a typical commute takes a while but is not unusual for the area.
Things to do. Circuit of the Americas, a race track, is in or beside town. Lady Bird Lake, a reservoir, and McKinney Falls State Park, a protected area, are both a short drive away, which makes them easy to reach for an afternoon outdoors.
