I read so many negative comments here about Houston or the USA, but let me tell you from the perspective of a German: America is the best country ever and Texas is the best state... In Munich/Germany, where I live, houses that cost 300k would cost at least 1.5 million. But the average salary here is 45k and we pay 50% taxes. So, I beg you. Enjoy your life, enjoy your property, enjoy the weather and your freedom and never, absolutely never, under any circumstances let even a spark of socialism come into your country. It is the death of all prosperity. I love these videos, it's like a little window into a better world, while here I'm being robbed by the state month after month and as the owner of a measly shack worth a fortune, I'm really just the janitor and get to do a little bit of building here and there for the good of the state. God bless america... no shit

In California would be the same … Texas used to be much cheaper. Before pandemic 40% cheaper. 15 years ago home would sell for 100-150k in suburbs. New construction ! But Houston itself has high prices for homes. Same like in Munich. The areas I like homes are from $2 millions. And have great schools. Very safe. Great play grounds for kids. Plenty cafe, restaurants. Just great location overall! Walkable. The houses that $300k are in suburbs. You may find older house in houston 2 bedrooms around 400k+. But schools would no be that good. Prices here mostly wary by the neighborhood. And school ratings. The higher ratings, high price for the house. That’s why lots of families prefer suburbs. More affordable. But traffic is annoying… Texas has large % of obesity and overweight people. Because they drive everywhere long distance.

As a resident of Pasadena/Clear Lake, it would be nice to see some videos highlighting older areas like a Pasadena, La Porte, Clear Lake City, etc. Not everybody needs, or wants brand new master planned areas, and not everybody necessarily cares what school district they live in. There is a lot of affordability, nice amenities, not to mention the proximity to Clear Lake and Galveston Bay.

@@ackermack92Everybody's budget is different, so it's hard to say. From my pv, it seems like 200k is the minimum to get you into a little house in nice neighborhood in the suburbs of Houston North or South side, right now. That is if you're a buyer. If you're a renter, tha's a totally different conversation.

@miscstuff7824 Год назад

Outskirts of Tomball, Magnolia, and Conroe used to offer an affordable mix of suburban and rural life. Post covid, though, it has been a madhouse of development and a lot of old growth forests are being razed for new community starts. A lot of the old charm of living in the dense forests of east Texas while still having (fairly) easy access to Houston proper amenities and while still being affordable is quickly fading. When you view the communities in this area, you'll see a stark contrast between older and newer communities. Older communities tended to surgically remove trees to build homes resulting in a "cabin-in-the-woods" type feeling with a high degree of privacy. Nowadays, developers tend to clear and flatten wide swaths of forests and build uninteresting and honestly sterile communities.

Traffic is horrendous in The Woodlands area. It gets worse and worse each year. I moved out of The Woodlands 2 yrs ago. Avoid 4-7pm M-F if at all possible. Porter/New Caney N of 99 is really starting to build up. Very reasonable housing as well.

@PrayinforTexas 4 месяца назад

The high cost of living is thanks to Californian (native texans) moving back. They have huge budgets, sellers get higher prices. The tax - they say they dont have capital gains, but there are other ways to get it. Corporations pay extremely well to some, but the minimum wage is still 7.00? Why? I will always have an element of Texas, especially Houston, Pride. But my heart is truly sad for what has happened to it. This video is just a depiction of where all the well-to-do move about once thier homes start to decay. Thanks to the very loose building codes.

@jdlfpr Год назад

I’m gonna make this easy for anyone considering moving to Houston. 1. Houston is full, packed, very similar to L.A. traffic. 2. North or west of 99 is good, anywhere inside 99 you’re gonna deal with alot of crime. 3. Anything south you’re gonna deal with flooding and only very few selected areas are nice. South/southeast there’s a lot of crime. Southwest, MS13 central. North, high crime unless you get past 99. Northwest, same as north. West, once you get closer to Fulshear edge of Katy, it’s nice but expensive. Old Katy, lots of crime. Sugarland, some parts are nice, but you’re close to stafford and southwest bellaire area, very high crime. Unless you go past Katy, The woodlands, or Magnolia you’re gonna deal with a lot of crime and road rage (Houston is road rage central) Friendswood down south is ok, but not all of it, same with pearland. We do have some nice restaurants downtown, galleria, memorial. But let’s not sugarcoat it, downtown has a lot of homeless people. If you want to live in a safe neighborhood, be prepared to pay high rent or $400k-$1 mil for a nice house. Property taxes are pretty high in the west suburbs.

Read between the lines regarding "crime." For instance; The Woodlands is no longer what it was 20 years ago what with all of the apartments and the "Greenspoint crowd" that has noticeably increased in the area over the last 5-10yrs. And when I say "noticeably," I am understating it. Many residents have relocated up to what is technically Magnolia and Montgomery where the degenerate element, other than cartel level, simply cannot afford to live and aren't as inclined to drive to since there is no mall and far fewer ancillary chain restaurants.

@stevearcher6100 11 месяцев назад

@@hectorcastrejon Couldn't say, honestly. Maybe one of the Dallas exurbs that hasn't developed out yet. It really depends on what you are willing to tolerate, especially if that third-world vibe doesn't bother you as much as it does many of us. The video lays out the predominate areas, but Houston has never really been considered a "great place to live" in the first place, at least not in the sense that many other cities across the US have been. It is hot and crowded. If you were considering The Woodlands, Montgomery seems to be the new area of interest.

@nifty_biscuit Год назад

Most of these "affordable" areas showcased are actually the most expensive in the areas. Woodlands, Lago Mar, etc, all of the subdivisions he shows are the ones built for the well-off. More affordable compared to living in Cali maybe but there is much more affordable housing in other parts of the area

Traffic. Its horrible ran by a corrupt mayor. Shiela jackson lee is a horrible person also. There are nice areas outta houston. Get outta harris county. Just bad. In galleria gangs do so much smash and grab there. A few months ago some black guys open fired on a police officer killing him. The mayor cut the officers pay. He is just showing you areas off 99. Omg. The toll will break you. Do your research before you move. I was born and grew up around this area. Crime is awful. So awful. Please do your research. Also if your moving to texas. Austin is full. Traffic is horrible. Dallas area is ruled by black gangs now. My husband grew up there. Sanantonia is ok. But getting full also.

As someone living in Houston for 42 years don’t drive on I-45 and especially at the Tidwell exit. That area is rife with atrociously bad drivers and lots of accidents. If you must drive on I-45 because you have to work downtown then get a safe car and a dash-can. As for where to live, avoid any community with tall trees. Houston is in a flash drought and your home stands a high risk of fire damage or far worse. For hurricanes and tropical storms, we get far worse damage from tropical storms than hurricanes, avoid the Sugarland and Richmond/Rosenberg area. They flooded badly during Harvey and a lot of people from those areas I knew suffered flood damage. It floods during the torrential storms we usually get as well. Avoid Kingwood. It floods badly.

There are lots of misinformation in this video. When it started with "most people will not consider to live inside beltway 8", this is just insane. This kind of video was made purely from a realtor point of view and of course they are trying to push you away from the center of the city because that's where the developments are and how they can generate more business. The truth is : most people do live between beltway 8 and 610, not only you do have more options for your living but more importantly, most jobs location were inside beltway 8. Did he ever mentioned the richist area of Houston is in Memorial? if you want to go to Tomball or even Conroe or Montgomery (which is a terrible place that still have speed traps that cops are waiting for you to issue tickets), make sure you fully understand what you will be getting.

I moved to Katy in 1992. Small town with friendly people. The rice fields to the north and east of my subdivision were taken over by snow geese in late September and October. The roads were all two lane blacktop with very light traffic. Now there is new development where the rice fields used to be. No more snow geese, and horrendous traffic. The roads are still two lane blacktop with massive pot holes and bumper to bumper traffic for hours. I retired three years ago, so I don't have to deal with rush hour anymore, but we miss the small town we moved to all those years ago.

Harvey had an impact on Houston that lasts today. Some areas of Houston will be problematic because of the extended flooding during Harvey and the lack of construction crews to get people back into their homes.

Numbers require no articles, so simply 290, 45, 288, etc. Not trying to be rude, but please don't California our language here...much appreciated. The Woodlands is landlocked, so no more new growth. The high growth areas of Montgomery County are Magnolia, New Caney, Montgomery, and Willis. Cypress, Tomball, Katy, et al, are all Harris County, which typically means higher property taxes...and Harris County politics. Please keep bringing in new transplants to Harris and Ft Bend Counties. We're overrun in Montgomery County. Katy, Cypress, Woodlands, Kingwood, Pearland, Friendswood, and Sugar Land are all well-established areas. It'd be great if those areas were targeted for build-out first to keep the other areas' wildlife and natural beauty intact...just saying. I'm really surprised you're not relocating more people to the Heights, Downtown, East Downtown, West U, Med Center, and Galleria / Memorial. I see a TON of gentrification in these older areas, along with the area around Gulfgate. Very interestimg channel, and smart use of RU-vid to build your real estate business. Congratulations on your relocation. I'd love to see a video on your old stomping grounds in Idaho...just a thought.

It's September and the highs are still in the 100's! Maybe it'll dip in to the upper 90s in a week or 2. It can flood any area of town...and badly. I seriously don't understand why Houston is the IT place to move to -- so many better options out there. Also, Houston is a generic big city without any character.

It is the "It" place bacause it has the Largest medical center in the world and is the center of oil and gas...No state income taxes, it is a foodie mecca, and does have some beautiful areas inside the Beltway 8. Also close in micro cities or West University, City of Southside, City of Bellaire, Spring Branch ( close in to everything and highly rated schools plus area never floods, ) and the Memorial Villages, also Sugarland. I have lived here all of my life and was a Realtor for 40 years, I do know the city incredibly well. Yes the Traffic is bad but we have great highways and toll ways to alleviate traffic issues, crime is a problem as it is in every major US City, Yes it is hot during the summers, but we do not have blizzards and can get out of our homes 365 days a year. Houston is completely air conditioned. This summer has been especially bad as has the summer been in most of the country this year from CA to FL and north. The downtown skyline is touted by architects worldwide as one of the most impressive. I would suggest that is you think of moving here do visit during the summer but also visit in January and enjoy the 60 and 70 degree days. Every city has the chain stores, most malls in the country have the same stores. Visit the other shopping areas and you will see other stores and restaurants. Some areas of town do flood, others do not... do your homework on neighborhoods. I think you must be having a bad day. :)

Kingwoodian Here (Deerwood->Riverwood->KHS). Once I got a job in Houston I moved right back to Kingwood. However Kingwood aint kingwood anymore. It was so much nicer when I grew up here. The clubs of kingwood have gone to pot. I hear they changed the G.A.S. into a burger joint, disgusting. Royal shores should never have been built. Riverchase I & II were already pushing it. They just kept building areas without any plan to accommodate the additional traffic; simply should have never been built. If they try to expand KW drive i'ma riot. New construction next to Chicfila should have been a park, not some metro-cringe 3 stories. Also you forgot to mention the power outage issue here. Cypress is gross. town lake is such a joke lol. you keep equating new with good and thats really not the case imo. ah yeah the sheckles of Sienna, very nice but the people who live there are made aware thats where they all live so if you're not in the know on that you'll probably be out of place there.

I grew up in Houston in the 70’s. It was in Clear Lake City. The two schools in clear creek independent school district was highly rated at the time. As an adult in the galleria and Alief it was very crowded. I moved to Central Texas and am happier there.

@user-hp1gn5mg7c Год назад

If you planning to move to Houston, don't do it. Not only you will get your blood sucked by the mosquitos and the politicians, it is rated as the most dangerous city to live in Texas. Notice all the main points are outside of the Houston city limit, but crime does extend to these areas. Most of the jobs are either in the Galleria or downtown, you will be risking your life every day while commuting to work. Also on a side note, the drivers here in Houston are crazy, either they drive too slow or too fast, and both never bother to check the lanes before changing or merging.

I came to Houston in 2020 and I chose the Katy area.

Not sure if Woodlands, Cypress, and these other areas have lots of Asian restaurants or not by comparison. Asian restaurants, Asian population, and outside the Beltway were the three big factors for me. Unfortunately, still looking for an Asian wife!

Nowhere in Houston, will hold its property value after seven years.

@theMommio6 Год назад

Am I the only one? As a native Houstonian, we don’t call our highways and freeways the 99 and the 45 and the 59. I couldn’t stop cringing while listening to this. When I go from Cypress to Conroe, I take 99 past 249 to 45. Then I take 45 up to 242. That’s it. And Fulshear? It’s full’-sure. Listening further into the video, I realized that you really aren’t from Houston. Welcome to the greatest place in Texas! You’ll have a lot more credibility if you just learn a couple of these things.

@cajunboudin7724 6 месяцев назад

Completely lost me when you skipped over the downtown area as if it’s not an option. We live in Sawyer Yards, 3 minutes from downtown. We’re walking distance from some of the best bars, restaurants, and activities in Houston. Also right by Buffalo Bayou walking trails, which we can even take to reach downtown by foot. Everything we need is within a 5-10 minute radius and we almost never need to get onto the congested highways. I work for a tech company in midtown and my commute is 5 minutes if I need to go into the office. If you’re only comfortable with suburbs, sure, go be there. But if you’ve lived in big cities before and know how to navigate things, or are willing to adjust a bit, it’s a no brainer: be near downtown, Montrose, The Heights, or the Museum District. It’s also not nearly impossible to raise a family in these areas. Some of the best schools in Texas exist within this area, and contrary to popular belief, there are some very safe pockets/neighborhoods in central Houston.

Coming from someone who has lived in places where you really have to advocate for yourself for good medical care, Houston is the best! You will get top medical care here. I didn't realize how important that was, until I lived in places that didn't have it. It's one of the best reasons to live in Houston. Secondly, it's green year round, flat but green--like Ireland green. Thirdly, the rain and storms are beautiful, and keep everything green. Now, the number one negative-- the traffic 🚦⛔ 🔥🥵 HORRIBLE. It's literally hell!! I lived there for 17 years in the 80s and 90s when the Woodlands and Kingwood didn't even exist. People moved to far out suburbs to get away from traffic. Now, the traffic has just spread. So, traffic is absolutely the worst thing about the Houston area. Access to coastal living is nice, and lake living within reach, and you need to be around water, because its mostly humid, even in winter, and the summers can be scorching 🥵. That's the #2 negative. All in all, it's not bad if you can get away, at least a few times a year. A lot of people here choose to vacation in Colorado, or end up moving there. Another plus, is jobs. The economy is robust, especially compared to other places. Cost of living still isn't too bad compared to other large metros in the country.

@allthingsnu4673 Год назад

I've lived in Houston all of my life - on the east side inside the 610 loop. It's the one side of town you didn't cover in this video but I'm not complaining. My area is older and more industrial but our traffic is the best of all the areas you talked about because there's not much development happening on this side of town. I've read that the Mont Belvieu area farther east has a lot of new development coming up, however. If that area gets big enough, our traffic on I-10 will get heavier which I'm not looking forward to. Until that happens, I'll continue enjoying my easy, quick access to 610, I-10, downtown, EADO, the Heights, the museum district, the nicest parks in the city, shopping, Galveston, and so on.

You must be from California..... no one in Texas calls it "the 10" or "the 45". 45 is the Gulf freeway or IH 45. Beltway 8 is beltway 8.... you also identified "energy corridor " in the wrong place. You had it west of hwy 6. And I'm sure it's NOT "the 69". As you pointed out, it had been US 59 for a long time. Hwy 99 is a state hwy just like hwy 6.. NOT "the 99". Do not California Texas.

My wife and I were born and raised in the Texas Panhandle. We moved to the Houston area in 1976 to work in the oil and gas industry. We have continually moved farther and farther northwest. Houston has changed an awful lot over the past 47 years. If you are moving to Texas because you want to live in Texas, stay away from Houston. For that matter, stay away from Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and El Paso. These areas have moved so far to the left that they are not really Texas anymore. For the record, we are retired and the only reason we have not moved back to West Texas is because our children and grandchildren live here.
