The BEST thing about living in Houston is, that there are at least 3 - 4 ways to get from any point to any point. I dont think any other city in the country has that many options.

Live in Houston since 1970 and man has it grown! You have to pick a area that doesn’t flood! That doesn’t mean you’re safe from flooding but will you a little peace of mind!

Houston is bigger than a lot of people imagine especially those that haven't been there. It took me an hour to drive from one side to the other.

Moved to The Woodlands 15 years ago from Chicago. Luckily, I have been working within The Woodlands since then. Traffic on I-45 can be a nightmare during traffic hours.

Living in the Houston area and seeing these new neighborhoods popping up, I advise looking at the quality of the homes. The new houses have the style and on the surface may look nicer, but not all homes are the same quality. Also, the lot sizes for these new neighborhoods are tiny. This could be a plus for some people. Based on personal experience it got old being so close to the neighbors. Interior finishings can be updated, but location and lot size can not be changed.

Cost of living has sky rocketed here with everyone moving here. Property taxes are through the roof because of supply and demand.

Traffic is terrible everywhere in Houston. Not only in rush hour; it is horrendous even on Sundays. For you, all places: Kingwood, Woodlands, Katy, League City, Sugarland, are top of the list.

Long time Houstonian here (grew up in Los Angeles), but man this video is so soothing. You've nailed these spots w/ great context.

Awesome content! Definitely appreciate the time and effort you put into all this valuable info. My family and I have been blindly looking for homes but now we have a little clarity. 👍

Homie you crushed it with this video. I gotta get going with these videos. but dang this video was so packed full of goods.

This is absolutely the best guide that I've ever seen. Thank you, Sir!

Wish I had this when I moved here. I work on the island and had to figure out a lot of this research myself ha. Great content. Appreciate you helping the future folks coming out here.

Great video. I've been in Htown all my life and this video has great execution on explaining the many areas I'm houston

My fiancé and I are moving to the area from Raleigh NC around the end of the year. Your videos have been helpful through the research phase, and I look forward to reaching out to your team in the near future.

Business brought us from California (San Luis Obispo) to The Woodlands in 1984. We are in Gorgans Mill with a home on the TPC golf course (3rd hole, 4th tee box). After I retired in 2016 we thought about moving but everything is so close that we have just stayed put. We really like it here.... the pavilion.. the waterway, market square, the low crime rater and high quality of living keep us feeling good about living here. Take care.

Great video! I’m moving to Houston this summer from Thailand with my family. I’m from Ca. Will be a big change!

I'm moving from Seattle to Houston in June, thank for the great Vido.

I am living in Phoenix now and I want the rain. I am in my researching phase now and your videos have been a blessing in making it much easier to learn about Houston. I do plan on coming in for a visit during the hot humid summer months. I might be watching this video several more times! Thanks for the awesome content!

Listed all the areas other than the top places to live in Houston. River Oaks, Memorial, Rice, Meyerland and the Heights. This is like saying the top places to live in NYC and mentioning Central Islip, Stamford, CT and Weehawken, NJ.

This is one of the most detailed videos about moving to Houston/ Harris County Texas that i have ever seen…. 💯

I lived all but 4 years (Serving In the Army) of my 50 years in the greater Houston area. Many of the areas you mentioned are just what you say. I think one thing that you may have either neglected to mention or don't know about because of not growing up here, is that the areas you mentioned inside the loop that are very nice to live in, are surrounded by areas you DO NOT want to go into. These are predominantly very low-income areas and the gentrification of those areas has resulted in a very large gap where there are very abrupt differences between areas right next to each other. This is something that is very prevalent in the greater Houston area. Mentioning the Wards (early 1900s development areas) is a good way of providing some insight into why certain areas are populated by certain demographics and why (to some degree) there is such a large difference between adjacent parts of town. As wonderful as Houston is (it has nearly always been my home) there are downsides to living in Houston. The crime rate in Houston proper is nearly the same as in Chicago. Outside the beltway and closer to 99 (the Grand Parkway), and beyond may mean a longer commute, but the areas are generally less crime-ridden, though not devoid of it. Just on the off chance that you haven't already heard this, in Houston, travel is calculated in time, not miles. I'm glad you have and are taking the time to showcase the greater Houston Area: It is a very culturally diverse city with many wonderful amenities for families and individuals. Also, when mentioning areas that are south of Houston, it should be noted that those particular areas are often prone to flooding and the more devastating effects of Hurricanes. Truth and transparency are important in helping individuals make a truly informed decision about moving to the Houston area. Again, thank you for showcasing Houston. It is far better than my comments may make it seems; I love Houston, but like any other place, there are downfalls.

So glad I found this video. Me and my fiancé are looking to move to the Houston area this year from Michigan .. this is a tremendous help!!

Hello! Thinking of relocating there from Tallahassee Florida, this channel has been super helpful with really giving insight to the area. It can be very overwhelming just seeing numbers online and not truly getting a feel especially as a mom with two teenagers It really puts everything in perspective. Thank you!

People are always bad mouthing Houston, but I love it. I was born in Spring Branch. I currently live in Richmond near Sugarland. I've had family in Tomball, Katy, Memorial, and Cypress. Great video!

As a lifelong Houstonian, I'm just glad you talked only about the far out suburbs that are on every listicle imaginable. Just keeps my commute from the belt to downtown under 30 minutes in rush hour traffic.

Hoping to move from Philadelphia PA to Houston this summer 🥰🥰🥰 your video was very helpful. Thank you.

Coming from spokane. Can't wait, love your videos. They are super helpful. I'm already hooked up with y'all.

Love all the information. We moved here about 27 years ago and Houston was already big, but it has exploded the last 10 years. Anything outside Harris county which is where Houston is located, the prices in homes goes down, will be cheaper. We live in Deer Park, east of Houston.

U make great vids bro we moved from Indianapolis to Sugarland watching ur videos

Thanks for taking the time to make such a great video !! Extremely informative to out of state replicators

This was incredibly informative!!! Much appreciated. Got a like and subscribe immediately.

Thank you so much. I always looked on the map of Houston and only saw old neighborhoods with a lot of garbage. Just did not understand why people move to Houston. But there is so much more, I am very impressed. Amazing guide for a better understanding of all the neighborhoods, especially the videos and pictures of the areas to have to impression! I could follow with google maps and street view very easy. Please more of that kind!

Great video, and excellent presentation. I have lived in Atascocita my entire life but still found this video interesting.

This was such a helpful and well done video.

Moving from VA to Sugarland, thank you for showing the map, it’s super helpful

Im planning on Moving from San DIego next year. I enjoy your videos thank you.

Great content! Seabrook, Kemah and Nassau Bay are all within a nice commute to Houston and Galveston plus away from too much master planning and traffic areas like League City, Friendswood and Dickinson yet benefiting from great school districts and oodles of commerce that you speak of in Friendswood and League City.

Hi, I'm Larry and currently living in Virginia. We use to live in Dickinson and really miss Houston. We are thinking about moving back to the Houston area. Maybe Sugarland or perhaps back to Dickinson Texas. Really love your videos. Everything is so much bigger and better in Texas !!! 🤩🤩🤩

Native Houstonian who has lived in Charlotte, NC when Trade and Tryon Streets were the crossroads of banking: Tarpon Springs, Fl back to Cypress: Back to Delray Breach, Fl: now back to Houston Spring Valley area. You provide a wonderful service. My background real estate in these three states.

Great topic! Very helpful!

I’ve been living here for almost 5 years now. Really enjoyed the video. 💪🏽

DUDE! I loved your show when you were in Coeur D’Alene!!!

Native Houstonian here. I think you are on the right track. Maybe check out the Heights as well. But full disclosure I moved to Oregon 5 years ago and absolutely love it. Being retired helps.

I’m born n raised Houstonian. I love to see all the people moving here!

Interesting information. I'm in Dallas and not moving, but it's interesting to see what's happening down in H-Town. Thanks.

Great video! I did laugh out loud when you said "quick shot to Downtown" talking about 290 and 288, ain't nothing about either of those highways quick 😆

I haven't seen him touch on one major issue... flooding and elevation certificates. You absolutely must check FEMA flood maps before buying anything. The first year I lived in Cypress, the streets flooded. The 2nd year, water came up over the curb. The 3rd year, the fire dept. offloaded rescue airboats in front of my house. So I sold the house, which had an elevation certificate saying it was 10 feet above the 100-year flood plain. But when hurricane Harvey hit, the house flooded. The crazy weather patterns we're seeing are bound to get worse, so make sure that anything you buy is well above the flood plain.

Thank you so much!! It’s gives me an idea, I’m willing to move from brazil to Houston.

Yes this great information, I moved to Houston TX from North Alabama back in 2009. I wish had this information before moving back then.

I'm in the Spring/The Woodlands area now for going on 6 years. Love it here! Never have to leave my bubble hardly ever.

Great communication, clear visuals. I'm just west of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Relocating from Seattle this spring. Coming from the PNW with lots and lots of trees, lakes and green spaces - I think Kingwood might be the place for me. I was initially considering Sugar Land but I really can’t live without greenery and trees! Will contact you for sure!!

I too came from the Pacific Northwest (Walla Walla, WA). I have lived in the Houston area for over 20 years now. I lived in a couple of different areas, but I have been in the Kingwood/Porter area for about the last 10 years or so and I absolutely love it!

I live in Connecticut, my Girlfriend lives on Richmond Avenue, I'm scheduled to move there near the end of this Summer, hence...the reason I'm watching this video. Thank you!

Just came upon your channel I’ll glad I did great content! I’m looking to move to the Houston area from Seattle! You can’t buy a lot of house up here for my price range!

This was great information. I am looking to relocate from Michigan and need help finding a great location outside of Houston.

Moving from Sandpoint, Idaho. Your videos are really helpful. Gonna make a scouting trip out to Houston in April

Hi I’m moving from Central Valley California. Found an awesome apartment in Meyerland. Very excited. For now just me but my whole family will be following me soon!

I love your videos!!❤️❤️

You're the best salesman for Houston I've ever seen. Somebody needs to be paying you the big bucks. I'm not on the market to move but makes me want to visit the city.

Thanks for tying it all together.

I don't care what route you take for your commute, that traffic is gonna get you if your work schedule corresponds with the majority of the Houstonians!

Thank you for the information, I’m in the military and looking to move to Texas within the next 2-3 year.🙏

I like the format of this video. I've been in Houston for 9 years. Love it here! The only kinda nit picky thing Id say about this video is that 90-95% of it is about suburbs of Houston. I live very close to 610 on the south side and was an inner looper my first 7 years in the city. Most of the people I have lived near during my time here don't consider most of the places you talked about as Houston. They are just suburbs / towns that we pass when going to San Antonio, Austin, or Dallas haha. But I love real estate videos and I like the map format of your video. Perhaps a separate video about the more urban neighborhoods is a good idea (if you haven't done it already). Lots of great places either unmentioned or just mentioned in passing in the last 2 minutes.

Great Job Guys!!

when i was 11/12 years old i rode my bike on the kingwood greenbelt all day everyday with my friends. many memories.

Looking to reloacate from Minnesota in 2023. Thanks for the great information!

Moved from Nashville, TN. I love Houston!!

35 years ago we moved from Brooklyn, NY, to Brazoria County, Tx. Best move ever.

The clip u showed of vintage park shopping mall in tomball is my jam Love tomball.. have my uncle move here soon too with family from boston I moved here going 5 years now.. cant ask for a better place and i agree it has that country side feel to it

Man, I'm glad you didn't mention Crosby. We are full up over here. Though there are 3 new subdivisions going in as we speak within a mile or two from me lol.

Im planning on hopefully being able to move to Houston from California. Interested on contacting you guys. Great video!

Not anytime soon but eventually I want to move out of New Orleans, Louisiana. Houston is one of the few places I’m high on moving to along with the DFW area. I’ve been to a Bucee’s in that area and I was amazed!

Learned a lot from you, thanks. We’re moving from IA

Moved to Tomball From Los Angeles a year ago! It's awesome!

Moved from Okla. City. Looking to build in Magnolia area. Wish I had seen your video on Magnolia. Love what you are doing and I know it's helping a lot of people moving here. Sylvia

Houston….. Where the houses are fabulous and the streets are HORRIBLE!!🤦🏽‍♂️

moved from Atlanta, now in Rosenberg. Great area! new homes. Budget-friendly area.

I’m moving from Baltimore to Houston in June! Been a 2 year plan in the making. Getting married and moving to the Meyerland area with my wife! Cant wait

I moved from Saint Louis almost 4 months ago to Katy , I love Katy because I’m close to all the shopping malls and restaurants, I currently work in Sugarland and the only thing I hate is the commute from the traffic on Texas 99 , I’m considering moving to Sugarland soon.

Love the video. I live in Atlanta, Orlando or Houston will be my next move

Coming from Kansas City. My best friend lives in Baytown. But Texas is gonna become my home.

Having lived in SUgar Land since the early 80's. I remember when there was no Beltway 8. Highway 6 was a 2 lane road south of 59 with a turn lane in the middle. When considering living in this area, I would recommend living east of the Brazos river. You are limited to crossing areas if you live west of it and there is an issue on one of the bridges. Great area to live. However, I do remember driving through some countryside between Houston and Sugar Land.

I love Humble too. Specially off Atascocita road and the suburbs off Beltway.

Coming from Cincinnati Ohio to MD ANDERSON for my husband in a travel trailer to start. Pretty nervous but this video helped!

Great work on the videos!! I am soon to be retired from the Air Force...looking at moving to Houston to be closer to my wife's family. We are waiting to see exactly which job I will get hired into...but it will probably be between somewhere on the Energy Corridor or Deer Park area. (yep totally opposite...so depending on that will dictate where we will probably live) Right now thinking either Cypress/Tomball or Kingwood area.

Thanks for your help. I'm moving from Albuquerque, New Mexico

Houston traffic is horrible all around. Born and raised in Houston. Be ready to sit in traffic and people riding your bumper unless you are going around 85 or above.

The Richmond/Rosenberg area is pretty nice, sure it has quite a bit of age but allows for access for the free parts of SH99 and it's location is able to make going either I-59 and I-10 viable routes to downtown, B8 and I-610

Moved to China, TX, Sept 2022 from Los Angeles. We are 88 miles east of Houston. The commute to H-town would not be for everyone, but is doable for those with a growing family, tight budget. Jefferson County is very pretty, green, pastoral.

Another town that's getting ready to blow up is Huffman once the Kingwood Drive extension over Lake Houston which will connect Kingwood to Huffman is completed. Several Master Planned communities are being built in northern part of Huffman near the Grand Parkway

Moving from oregon.. Can't wait.

I have a reasonablely priced 2B2B condo a mile from I 10 in spring branch It is awesome!

Atascocita is quite beautiful. As you say, that lake area is very nice. They are expanding many of the roads there (like 1960) so congestion will be a lot less in the future. Great area imho. Property tax rates in Fulshear (like Cross Creek) can be 3.5% so be careful and understand that before you buy. Very comprehensive video.

What people need to realize is when taking the beltway, some of it is free and from beltway 8 west of Ella is tolls. Also it depends on where you’re coming from and going, sometimes it’s actually cheaper to take the non toll roads and deal with a little bit of traffic depending on what time of day and day of the week it’ll be cheaper than paying out the butt in tolls compared with paying gas to get there.

Windsor On,Canada . love ur content

11 years in my beloved Cypress (paradise) ..... Now 1 year in Cleveland TX ✨🌜

Live in Katy. If I were to relocate to any other part of town, I'd go to Sugar Land. Two gotchas about SL, though - housing tends to be more expensive than most other burbs. The other thing to consider happened when Hurricane Harvey hit. That area flooded pretty badly compared to, say, Katy - particularly the areas around Sienna Plantation. An exception to the Katy area was Cinco Ranch. There were some pretty serious pockets of flooding in the immediate area of Cinco Ranch and to the south towards Sugar Land. You'll want to keep that in mind for when hurricanes or tropical storms arrive. One other thing I'd advise. If someone thinks that the commute from Katy to Uptown is too much, they may want to seriously reconsider a move to Houston unless they can live within a couple of miles of their place of work. There's no such thing as a quick 15 minute trip to the market. Houston traffic is epic and rush hour is from 3 - 7. Weekends are busy all day. Houston's a big town and traffic is very similar to the Chicagoland area. And having lived near the Chicago area and spending many a weekend and business trips there, I'd argue that my traffic experiences here eclipse even the west and northwest burbs of Chicago (Naperville, Arlington Heights, etc.). If you're coming from a city where you're used to 20 minute commutes and anything longer drives you crazy, you're gonna hate it here. If traffic congestion annoys you, you're gonna hate it here. If you live in one of the new communities or areas where there's a lot of folks moving in, you'll find yourself starting to plan your outings around congestion. I've gotten to the point that I seriously consider even making the trip unless I absolutely have to, as the traffic congestion in Katy has gotten so bad, it takes me 20 minutes to visit a Walmart just 3 miles from my home. I like to hit up some of the BBQ places in town, and it's an hour round trip...25 minutes to get to the BBQ joint, 25 minutes to get back - and I'm less than 5 miles from my home! Not joking...the growth is that much and the congestion is getting that bad. I've learned to live with it and adjust my trips. I plan for my trips now instead of just getting in the car to run and grab a gallon of milk from the supermarket.

I want to move there from Boston! Can’t wait
