Thread Closed...As Usual
FYI Out of towners...
ya'll do realize Houston is like 20 different cities right? So saying you moving to Houston is not really specific and could be hit or miss if you don't have a plan. Houston is the largest sprawl in America (JAX is larger in square mileage, but HOU has 4x the population), you can literally fit Chicago, Atlanta and New York inside the Greater Houston Metroplex and still have room!
My advice to new-comers, find you someplace to stay that's just inside/outside the 610 loop, doesn't matter if it s North/South/East/West, this will give you a good vibe for what your next move will be. If you got a family and are looking for a suburban vibe, look for a spot just inside/outside the 99 loop, anywhere Northwest/Woodlands, West/Katy to Southeast/Fort Bend County all have good schools. Avoid Southeast/Pasadena or anywhere along I-10 due to flooding, traffic and murder. Far East/Channelview and Northeast/Sheldon/Humble are ok and you can find cheaper homes and up and coming schools. If you're single and/or are trying to live that aspirational lifestyle, Uptown (just like in every major city) is the place to be, but it's not an authentic representation of the city. If you're a professional, The Heights, Medical Center (nikka our Downtown has a downtown!) or 2nd Ward/Allen Parkway might be the move.
This is really just an overview, there's still more layers to it, HMU if anybody is serious about making the move.
