Here are the top stories in North Austin-Pflugerville today:

1. This fall, Amberlin Pflugerville, a new active adult community on "the southeast corner of East Pflugerville Parkway and Wilke Ridge Lane," will be opening in Pflugerville. The community will be located on 52 acres of land, which was sold to developer Sparrow Parners by "neighboring Hill Country Bible Church." Presently the community is under construction, but when it's finished, it will have 195 units and "will offer wellness-oriented living for residents aged 55 and older with a focus on helping residents stay socially and physically active." Danny Box, lead pastor at Hill Country Bible Church, said, "We have always envisioned this land drawing the community together and we think there is a need for more senior housing in our community." For more details on the community and housing costs, please visit: (Community Impact Newspaper)

Where should you invest as a North Austin-Pflugerville resident with a $149,000 nest egg? Thanks to a change in the legal code, there’s a new investment North Austin-Pflugerville residents need to know about. In fact, Bloomberg asked experts where they’d invest $100,000 right now and many of them chose it.

This may surprise you, but it’s fine art.

Growing your nest egg with art isn’t new. Wealthy families like the Rockefellers have done it for centuries.

Here’s why:

• Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
• Contemporary art historically returns 23.2 percent when inflation is >3 percent
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164 percent (1995-2021)

Translation: Art could be one of the best investments for uncertain times.

Luckily for you, we found Masterworks. This revolutionary platform lets you invest in art by Warhol, Monet, Picasso without spending millions.

The best part? Anyone from your area can skip their waitlist*.
