Houston suburbs are not like others. But most of your black population is near the southwest, 3rd or 5th ward.

As long as there is a black community, what's the problem?

Houston has changed drastically in the last 20 years..
Traffic is just as bad as the Bay due to transplants and economic growth..
You can walk in Galleria, Montrose,Rice Village, Upper Kirby, Medical Center, Off Main( near Fiesta and Reliant), The Heights,Parts of the Trey, Minute Maid Park area(but homelessness although not as bad as The City but certain parts look like the Tenderloin)..
Bougie Black People are in Mo City/ border of Sienna Plantation, Pearland..
But that can easily be said about black people anywhere in the H unless you trying to stay off of West Orem, Hiram Clarke, Bob White, West Airport, Bissonet or the SWAT(Southwest Alief Texas)..
Where it’s bad one street/ Nice the next..
Depending on which way you go..
And it’s culturally diverse..
Katy is trash..
Memorial/Bellaire
Especially Bellaire pigs
Chimney Rock, Hillcroft is where the eses stay..
But you will need a car regardless of where you are trying to stay..
As for the weather..
Summer last until late November..
And even then..
It never really gets cold/cold..
The last bad winter was in 14/15..
Sugar land, woodlands, king wood, spring are suburbs..
You will never get bored but have connections or knowing people in the “loop” of Htown entertainment goes a long way..
Food is the same as the Bay except ordering late night door dash..
A lot of places close by 10/11..
Be prepared to drive like a mad person..
The amount of dumb shyt you will see every 5 minutes..
Plus people love driving in the lane with you
Overall Houston is great for raising a family..
Single life can be hard(but if you are an active person...
You should be able to find someone or at least a new hobby..
Cost of living is go up as well..
So don’t think you can move down here and pay $800 dollars for rent in either an apartment or house..
You will be living in the hood thinking that
But the square footage and amenities make up for it
But many of these new townhomes, condos and luxury apartments are being built with thin ass walls..
Also just know August/September are when hurricanes are the most active...
If you rent or buy..
Get flood insurance..
If you find a neighborhood you like..
Make sure you look up the flood plan map to see what is what..
When it rains..
It rains and flooding is a huge problem..
We don’t have a vast public transportation system..
Yeah they are building monorails in certain neighborhoods and parts of downtown..
But Metro usually stops running at 12am..
I’ll think of more later..

Because if I wanted a small, dispersed black community I’d stay in the bay. Furthermore I didn’t see much of a black community when I went to Austin...not sure I saw many black people period.

Do NOT go to Austin if you wanna be around black people.
Honestly no, never truly spent time there enough to get a feel

H-Town been on my mind for a minute now because the federal locality pay is higher there than it is in the DMV on top of it being cheaper to live.
The big question on my mind is where would I buy a house if I want to avoid flooding?

Time to go!!
I hope you don’t to do your split time in Dc during the winter cuz you ain’t going be happy about that. I’d do winter month in Cali if I was you. Texas is aight for winter but if they get even a centimeter of snow, that city is fukked and shuts down. They can’t deal with snow in any capacity
