Leander: Living Large 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) Over the course of my life I have lived in Texas a lot. I love the city and its great culture. There are a lot of cities that go under the radar that are fun to visit and to live in. Leander is one of them and I thoroughly enjoyed living there.

Leander at first was small but is ...Read More now starting to grow more. They have traditional southern hospitality here and I always remember being treated well while living in an apartment that had families from different nationalities. The culture and nightclubs I attended with my friends are staples and are very fun to attend.

The mall in this city is so much fun. It isn’t the largest mall in the world but it and the various stores around the city really do their job. There is a lot to do as well and I never got bored during the summers. I like this city and I would move here with my girlfriend to start our life. Read Less
