Check out Bastrop,
Texas!
Established in 1832, Bastrop has a rich
heritage. In her early years she was the meeting ground for Tonkawa and
other Southwestern Indians. In 1821 Stephen F. Austin came through here and
decided to establish a settlement on the Colorado River. The city is named for
Philip Hendrick Nering-Bogel, the Baron de Bastrop. He interceded with the
Mexican governor to allow Austin to bring settlers here. In 1827 Austin
received a grant for the colony at Bastrop.

Today Bastrop's historical features are
very prevalent downtown. The old iron bridge is celebrated every year in a
big festival. The old iron bridge has now been paralleled with a new bridge
which is wider and easier for vehicular travel. Crossing these bridges, from
the hustle and bustle of Hwy 71, brings you into the historical downtown area
where antiques, arts & crafts, books, gifts, the Olde Dime Store's candy
counter, Lock Drugs Store's vintage ice cream parlor and the famous Old Opera
House are there to delight residents and visitors alike. Surrounding the
downtown area are 130 historic homes, the new river walk with a city park on
each end. Further out, you'll find lakes for fishing, 2 state parks and three
18 hole golf courses. We also have a myriad of sports and cultural programs for
youth and many lovely churches. With the river running through our community
Bastrop has beautiful trees soaring to tremendous heights for everyone's
enjoyment.
In the last few years there has been an
amazing amount of growth. Some of the businesses include HEB's Super Store
(now with a drive through pharmacy), Wal-Mart's Supercenter, Tractor Supply
Company TSC, Owl's Western Wear, Pay-Less Shoes, Beall's clothing store,
Chabot's Mostly Italian Restaurant, Wendy's, Schlotzchy's, Taco Bell, Block
Buster Video, Radio Shack and of course we have a Dairy Queen and a McDonald's
plus many, many more. You won't be at a loss to find good food here.
Beautiful Bastrop is being hailed as the
Heart of the Colorado. Located only 30 miles SE of Austin, our state
capitol, and 20 miles SE of the new international airport, you get the best of
both worlds here.
"We have commuter-friendly skies. If
you commute to Austin 8-5, the sun won't be in your eyes. Come see us soon."

First Time Buyers >Finding A Loan
There are two important steps preliminary to becoming a homeowner. First you must find the right home and negotiate the price and terms with the sellers. Then you come to one of the most difficult parts of the transaction--finding the perfect loan.
You should do some comparison shopping among lenders. Your real estate agent can refer you to several reputable lending institutions which should be able to complete the loan process before your proposed financial approval date. The loan officer will take your application and have you sign all the necessary papers to authorize credit and employment verifications. You and the real estate agent should get periodic progress reports to make sure that all of the details are taken care of. Such reports will help to ensure that any potential problems are discovered and addressed before they can hinder the transaction.
