I feel like Houston might be one of the greatest places to live. Consider moving there in the future

I moved to Fort Worth been living here for about a year and I grew up in Houston lived there till I was 22. I like Houston but compared to Fort Worth it’s bad. I know both the dfw and Houston are hav e like beef or whatever for which city is the best and for me Fort Worth is much more open, quieter and more developed than Houston. I grew downtown Houston and the only thing I miss besides fam and friends is how close everything was. I could ride my bike or skateboard to work, walk to bars, go for a quick run at a park. Here in Fort Worth they have a lot of trails and parks but nothing is really close which sucks. And they don’t have a really big night life it’s like watered down. Dallas is cool I get Houston vibes from it but I’d say it’s more uptownish than Houston. But that all said the people in Fort Worth and Dallas for me have all been nice but when I got to Houston downtown that is to visit my fam who live there still people are rude and I couldn’t see it when I lived there but since I been gone for a year I can definitely tell. But I like Houston I wouldn’t move back but definitely still visit.

Great informative video!

I moved to Houston in 2016 from Austin and was amazed at how underrated the city is! Everyone thinks Austin is the cultural capital of Texas....pffffft! Houston is way more diverse, you have more authentic ethnic food (not some tarted up Austin-fusion mess), the art and museum scene in Houston is world class, and you can afford to live in a nice place for not a lot of money. I also never met as many smart and educated people (lots of engineers and medical professionals) in any place I lived-it makes you strive to do BETTER by being around so many smart ambitious folks. In Austin everyone was relatively underemployed if they were not in the tech scene. It's such a great city but I was only there for a year since I got a job opp I could NOT pass up in Colorado. The only thing I don't miss about Houston is the humidity, and I may be back there once the pandemic is over.

great video, born and raised in Houston and frequent traveler, only thing I would add is an actual visual as to the home values, put a million dollar home in L.A. or N.Y. next to a million dollar home in Texas, or put a NY flat against an equal size flat here in Houston so that people can visually see what they REALLY get for their money because I never really realized the significance of it until I put them side by side!!! :D I live in the suburbs... a 5 bed, 2 master bedrooms, 1/2 bath, a large yard, one of the bedrooms is the size of a Livingroom, and we bought our home for $115,000. (for example) and my kids attend one of the best public school systems in Texas. We sacrificed nothing :D But, a note about the summer heat, it can be stifling when the humidity gets high. I'm a photographer and I love to photograph in nature, There are a dozen amazing parks and wildlife preserves within 5 - 20 min from my home, and they are all over Houston, It's a great place to raise a family.

this is an outstanding video

I lived in Houston from 1975-2000 except for a couple of brief stays outside that area. I can tell you the pros: good job market (aside from the current pandemic) and compared to some other large cities, affordable housing. They also have lots of good hospitals, and restaurants. The cons are traffic and crime. And these are getting worse. The violent crime rate is skyrocketing. And these days it is down right hard to get around in Houston. Takes forever to get anywhere. I moved to the far suburbs of Montgomery County 20 years ago to avoid these problems. Then 2 years ago I moved even farther out. The traffic and crime had expanded and I wanted none of it. Now I am out in the sticks of Grimes County Texas and enjoying it. Another ancillary issue in Houston is of course weather. Its HOT and HUMID in the summer. But I guess that's true anywhere on the gulf coast. Some say tornadoes are an issue. Actually, not so much. They do have some flooding in some areas. Other cultural issues are a matter of taste.

I have heard that people in Houston are extremely friendly

The metro rail shown at 1 minute is in the Netherlands 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My home state of NY is moving away from freedom and into authoritarianism, so I'm looking for a free state to move to, thank you for this video, I'm gonna check out Austin and Dallas next.

@Learn Math Fast thanks for that advice but I have a few other options beside Houston, Austin and San Diego. Let’s see what the others have to offer.

@Learn Math Fast I was going towards private school. There is nothing like NYC. I was exploring to see what other cities have to offer. I’ve heard Austin is better than Houston definitely

Where in Houston do you have property tax rate below 2%? Maybe I am missing something? As far as I know property tax in Houston area is above 2% and as high as 3.6%

While it is difficult to find, it’s not impossible. Typically those rates are in areas with older homes and more established areas where the MUD tax is very minimal. My parents live in Montgomery county which is technically part of the Houston metro, and their tax rate is +\- 1.8%. But it is extremely difficult to find stuff below that. It’s difficult to find new homes with anything below 3%.

I loveee houston

The different areas of town have "Independent School Districts" - or ISD, so Houston, Cy-Fair, Katy, Conroe, Spring, Klein, Fort Bend, etc. You can find more information on schools at greatschools.org and on HAR.com. What area of town are you planning on moving?

Within the city there are good schools within the West University area, River Oaks, Spring Branch, any of the memorial villages. Out of the city you can find good schools in Katy (particularly in Cinco Ranch or the Woodlands). Let me know if you have any questions. I’ve been in the city for 7 years- it’s awesome!

Love the information. I'm a New Yorker, considering relocating and opening a fine art gallery there. What are your thought? Please share.

Which location is safer from hurricane etc

Another Con: Harris County has the highest insurance premiums in Texas....Live in one of the outlying counties....(Montgomery, Chambers, Liberty, Ft. Bend, Brazoria...etc)

I live in Houston

Does anyone know about before and after school child care cost?

As someone who’s lived here for 40 years since college, the biggest con is that Houston is fast becoming the next Detroit and for many of the same reasons. Most of the city inside the Beltway is now poor or at least lower lower middle class. Will be leaving after retirement.

I have been thinking of moving for retirement. Cheaper than California. Decent gay scene. You can drive to beaches. No income tax.

@@527ctguy Beaches in Houston? the closest (and only one) is Galveston and if you've ever lived and went to any beach in CA, you can't call that puddle of water they have Galveston a beach. For one there is no sand, just a pile of rocks that extends 10 feet to the brown and muddy super cold water, ugg =/

Katie, you talked about Houston being prone to flooding, which neighborhood would you say flood the least?

It depends on the area of town. Some neighborhoods have been impacted more significantly than others. If you’re thinking about moving shoot me an email and we can discuss. Katie@movemetotx.com

At 1:05 you mention using MetroRail...but the video of a light rail train at that point is not MetroRail and not even in Houston.

You can pick any suburb outside 610 and generally be fine.... but you’ll still want to get flood insurance to keep an ease of mind. Anything inside the inner loop and your doomed to traffic, floods, shitty drivers and the funkiest “zoning laws” you’ll ever see. Seriously. Katy is a good area that is constantly building new neighborhoods and apartments. Only thing is it’s about 45 minutes from the city and there’s isn’t to much to do out there other then the new water park they built a couple years back.

And get used to everything being atleast 30-45+ minutes away from each other. Houston covers over 9,400 sq mi. It’s bigger then the states of New Hampshire, New Jersey, Connecticut, etc.
