I just moved to The Woodlands in January and so glad it is rated so highly!! I love it!!! To know it was created in 1974, which is the same year my daughter was born, is an added plus! It is so “plush” here, and I love the way it is designed!!! Due to all the trees, which accent the shopping/dining areas, it insures that it will always look nice due to “street/park maintenance”! It is very modern with a small town “feel”!!! Plus…there is so much to do! 🎉🎉🎉
The Woodlands is nice but I can tell you haven’t been around Houston much. Compared to other areas there’s really not much to do. The inner loop is where there is the most to do
@@terrycrews1760 Thank you! That is my intention...the live in the Woodlands...and visit Houston for ALL the culture, creativity, restaurants., etc. I have a 5 page list! 🤩🤩🤩
Live in Katy. One thing I like about Katy is that it's much closer to downtown Houston and the various unique districts - particularly Vietnamesetown, Chinatown, and all the inside-loop neighborhoods. Katy also just built a brand-new Asiantown with dozens of ethnic restaurants, shops, and supermarkets. If you or someone in your family is Asian and would like to maintain that cultural connection, Katy is a much, much better option. Also, the Katy ISD is the best ranked district in the Houston Metro, and #13 in the entire state.
@@livinginhtx I moved here from Indiana in 2017. I lived in corporate housing near the Med Center for the first three months, then bought a home in Katy. Later that summer, I was greeted by my first hurricane - Harvey. I've never experienced anything like that in my life, but we were incredibly blessed and our housing community didn't flood the homes themselves. We couldn't get out of our neighborhood due to water for almost a week, but we were way more fortunate than the older communities without the enhanced building codes (older sections of Cinco Ranch, burbs up towards Humble and Atascocita). We love it here. I love Houston, the metro, and Texas. I will never move back North or anywhere else. My wife and I will spend the remainder of our days here!
@karenlindsey9967 Since I'm not from the area, when people always refer to the wonderful schools in Katy I wonder whether you are referring to magnets, charters, or traditional public schools...???
Born and raised in Syracuse NY . I moved to Texas 6 years ago and suburban Houston 4 years ago. The rate that retail shopping centers are put up is crazy, also housing developments. The taxes are very high( and yes I know there is no state income tax). Forest and brush land clearing is insane, and people wonder why there are flooding issues. They build “Levies” to mitigate it, but leaving trees and bushes to soak up the water is a far better plan. Groundwater levels are dropping, could that be that there is nothing to soak up the water to bring it into the ground instead of running off? Can’t wait to move out in the middle of nowhere with scenery and land on a small farm. Oh, and this place is an oven 10 months out of the year!
So nice to see Richmond on your list. I built a home there and I love it. Richmond, Katy, Sugarland and Fulture are the best. Basically Fort Bend County/West Houston. I do love Cypress and the Woodlands too!!!
Loved this video! My parents moved out here to katy back in 05-06 I wanna say. My dad had a house built for my mom right off of westgreen and it has all the schools including a day care all within walking distance from her house! I came to visit in 07 and her subdivision wasn't even finished at the time and i10 was under heavy construction of being what it is today! I loved it the first time I came to visit and wanted to move out here back then! I was the last of my siblings to move out in November of 2018 and love it so much. It is completely different from NYC and CT! Definitely the place to rise a famiy.
I would rank The Woodlands @#1 because I like the secure feeling of "living in the bubble" plus Katy is a little more prone to crime and flooding. I would also like your thoughts on Spring. I agree with the older homes in The Woodlands vs newer development in Katy but I just have favorite choices that make The Woodlands a fav for me. My second fav would be Montgomery. :)
I live in Kingwood. It’s nice as well a little expensive or a lot to some but I’ve been here 2 years it’s a growing community. Far as flooding in my opinion with the way climate change is happening all over the world, living in Houston period you don’t know where your gonna get hit with a natural disaster. It could flood in the the places you least expect. Stay Prayed Up.!
I've been doing extensive research on Texas as my partner & I are trying to move there ASAP like this spring from Chicago I think we prefer Austin but we have friends in Houston so starting where we know ppl seems just smarter to do until we get our feet wet. The main things for us would be low crime rate, minimal flooding, modern apts/home (rent) and electric car friendly ;) this list was helpful especially since I've already been looking in most
Don't move here, We have a high homicide rate, it floods every three days, I hope a trailer is modern enough, also why have an electric car when you get a free box of 9mm ammo with a purchase of diesel fuel? Constitutional carry is amazing but I'm going through bullets fast.
Would you also recommend Sugar Land since it’s not on your top 9 list but it’s rated by the media of top 5 best suburb towns in the US? I am a former Houston resident and I used to love go down to Sugar Land to hang out since it’s a nice, peaceful and cleaned neighborhood. But thanks for sharing your top 9 and best wishes with your real estate career.
Hello, I live near kingwood and I think it’s much nicer than surrounding areas. I didn’t move in there because of the flooding but now that crime has been increasing, I sure wish I would have.
@@Makeuphuney it is far safer than the immediate areas surrounding it. It has flooded in the past, but it’s still safer than the surrounding areas that don’t flood due to the rising crime. There are safer areas than kingwood around Houston - such as the city of Friendswood.
The vibe in Conroe is very similar to Georgetown which is a small city north of Austin but the major difference between Georgetown and Conroe is that Conroe is more greener than Georgetown. Conroe is in the Pineywoods region while Georgetown is in the Hill Country region of Texas. I'm from Round Rock which is located between Austin and Georgetown.
Humble/ Atascocita & Baytown are nice good areas too. Baytown has plenty of water parks. Everything basically off Garth rd. Humble/Atascocita has plenty of nice homes and plenty of shopping areas as well. And yes Pearland is nice too. Specially the area around Shadowcreek High school.
I live in Spring Branch/Memorial area...the only thing I don't like is the traffic...its so crowded. Great for the younger crowd but plenty of family homes too
Been trying to move to Houston for a year. I live in New Hampshire and wanted to be gone by snowfall, but moving has been very frustrating and way harder than I expected. The most annoying thing is paying for all these applications just to apply without a Guarantee to get the apartment your applying for.
Believe me you go to Houston. You personally will have no problems 😁😆😅finding a place to Live be it an apartment or or something with a homearge french veranda though probably with a Spanish adobe flavors nice smart. But the traffic getting to work 😹 will be your worst problems. Some people spend two hours a day in traffic. But they live quite well doing that ..in the actual suburbs. Mwhere it's safe
You did a great job. However, Conroe is not usually considered a suburb of Houston. Sugar Land is a beautiful suburb and not a bad commute. Galveston doesn’t qualify either. Sorry. Just too great a distance to be included.
I’ve played pit for shows in that lovely old theater in downtown Conroe. They use hire college music majors while I attended college in Huntsville. I also taught private lessons and did my student teaching in Conroe.
Thank you soooo much for this , I was considering Katy , I just wanted to make sure the crime rate isn’t bad and the schools are good , Thank you again
Im looking to move to the area and I will say the research ive found speaks very highly of woodlands and Katy just as you did. starting to see a trend here But thank you for putting conroe on my radar.
This Top 9 is good Subdivision for live, IF You don't have to work in central Houston area. ( Everyday traffic will keep you on the highway for 2 hours /round trip😂.)
I’m not legally allowed to discuss it as a realtor, but I can tell you that I feel very comfortable in all of the Houston suburbs that we feature on our channel and haven’t personally run into any issues
I already live here in the heights FOR 27 year last two year we just move 10 block s near the Northside area its been great I don't change this neighborhood for other we go the museums near the concerts the games the restaurant s the great parks we love houston indeed
Born and raised in NY, but now we've been living In Pa for the last 20+ yrs. We already have a son and sister and family in the Humble area. Because we have a pontoon boat, we would prefer more lake access like the Conroe area. Right now, we leave our boat at our marina year-round. Was wondering if you've done any videos on the marinas at lake Conroe?

As a Galveston County resident for years until I was 25, are you kidding? 🤔🤔 There is nothing beautiful or safe about Texas City 😳😳. Baytown is ok in some parts.
Spring is great, some areas flood but not most, wide variety of housing options, close to the woodlands amenities and not too far from downtown. Schools there are ok but spring has some nice neighborhoods. Reach out below if you’d like to dive deeper into spring, happy to help.
This was a very good video. Very informative. I’m from out of state and we are researching this area. You gave us a lot of info. However you are not talking about the housing market recession we have entered. The interest rates. There are price reductions everywhere! I know you need to earn commissions but you should be honest about what is taking place and advising people to wait until the market hits bottom before they buy so they don’t go upside down and loose there home. Honest Texas realtors on UA-cam warning. Travis - real estate mindset. Nick - Reventure Consulting. Scott Walters realtor channel. Dan - I Allegedly. Jeremiah Babe. All honest guys warning the public not to buy and showing why.
Glad you liked our video. As an expert on the market here, I follow closely what is going on daily. I don’t blanket statement “good time to buy” or “bad time to buy” like other click bait channels. It could be the perfect time to buy for one buyer, and not for another. There are many factors involved. Not sure if you are implying I was dishonest, I’ll assume that’s not what you mean. But I had a discussion with an out of state buyer today and we ran the numbers and buying made much more sense than renting in his situation. Currently, most price reductions in the Houston area are just sliding back down slightly to what they should have been. Prices are no longer on the rise, but they are by no means crashing at the moment. Sure rates have risen, but buyers can always refinance when rates go down.
@@livinginhtx I dont care how much rent it. It makes no sense to buy when the market is going down. Your going to go underwater and loose money. Houston area is going to see a huge downturn just like 2008. Interest rates might be high for years moving forward. They wont be coming down anytime soon. Buying right now is crazy. I see big price reductions weekly all over Harris county. If someone just waits 12 months to buy to see what happens they will see massive home price reductions. Wait for the bottom and let the dust settle before you buy a home. In the mean time pay off all debt and save cash. Get ready for the firesale of a lifetime. That is what smart people are doing.
@@BayAreaCowboy we will see. I think the market will continue to slow down. But I don’t see 2008 happening here in the Houston area. Completely different factors involved. They printed a ton of money, which contributed strongly to the price increases. Now we are at the beginning of feeling the consequences. Clients that have sold in other states moving to texas are well positioned to buy. With recent price reductions, more inventory, and fewer competition it makes buying better than a few months ago. All that said, months inventory in Houston is currently sitting at 2 months supply. An equal market would have 6.5 months supply. There is a housing shortage here in Houston. Lots of factors that will help keep the prices more stable than other parts of the country.
I have a question. I would like to know in your own experience, what would be a good spiritual/conscious area in Texas to live in? Meditation centers and so on. Thanks.
This is difficult to answer. If you message me through our company number I can give you a better idea based off your income as to what kind of lifestyle you could live here.
Suburbs? You’re talking about other towns and cities! We lived in Garden Villas until Telephone Road became XXX theaters. Then we moved to Clear Lake/NASA area, then League City. Our last home was a little boutique horse, Greyhound, and chicken farm in Santa Fe off of I-45. Now we’re completely gone. I went to school (U of H and South Texas College of Law) in downtown Houston. Quite a drive! We still vacation a little in Galveston and I wouldn’t consider it a suburb of Houston.
I heard Conroe was the best spot... me and the family are thinking of moving there in December. Florida is really getting over populated and a bit nuts.
Yes I live in Conroe and love it. My wife is from Florida and her mother in law recently moved to join us here and loves it. Reach out, we’d love to help.
You are thinking of moving to Houston because Florida is getting overpopulated and nuts? Good luck with that. Houston is not the change you are looking for. I escaped Houston for the same reasons you are wanting to leave Florida after living there 40+ years.
@mikehawkins4752 Florida is small. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is moving here. At least with Texas, I know it'll be easier to travel with my family, and the housing market is 100 times better for me and my wife. It definitely is a plus for us.
@darrylhudson2182 It's your life, obviously, but Texas is huge, and traveling anywhere by car takes a very long time. The cities are very spread out. I'm not a fan of Florida by any means and would never move there, but my point is Texas isn't any better, and for me, it is worse in many ways. The weather is worse, mosqitoes, fire ants and roaches are everywhere. There are so many better places to be. If you move to any of the suburbs listed in this video, you will spend most of your life in your car. Trust me, I lived most of my life in Houston. I suggest you visit now during the summer to understand. Florida's weather is cool by comparison.
I’ve lived here most of my life and have never had issues personally. As a licensed realtor I’m not allowed to discuss crime rates in detail, but I can say from personal experience that I feel very safe here and it’s where I choose to raise my family. Like all cities there are parts with higher and lower crime but overall I don’t think about crime here
Include info on which “suburbs/areas” fall into their own municipality such as Katy having its own mayor/city council/fire/police versus unincorporated Harris County versus if The Woodlands is part of City of Houston for voting, taxes, etc.
Dude out Conroe as #3. Heck nah. There’s bias there clearly he said he was born and raised there. Cask any Native Houstonian and most would say it’s more like a 7 or 8 in a too 10 Houston suburb.
The good thing about most of Houston after hurricane Harvey is that we know which areas flood and which don’t. There are parts of Conroe we know flood, but they are easy to avoid in any home search. Overall Conroe doesn’t flood bad.

As a Galveston County resident for years until I was 25, are you kidding? 🤔🤔 There is nothing beautiful or safe about Texas City 😳😳. Baytown is ok in some parts.
@@livinginhtx no sir, I will save you the trip. Texas City is extremely unsafe and dangerous and the suburbs aren't great at all.
@ 15 minutes it got very much so real
Hi, how about Humble/Atascocita? My husband will work at Deer Park, só, I think the closest and pleasant are is Humble/Atascocita. What do think?
Cypress is number 1 I might be biased because I live here though😂
Tell me about homes and cost of living in Spring Texas. I have not come across any video talking about Spring TX
Spring is great, some areas flood but not most, wide variety of housing options, close to the woodlands amenities and not too far from downtown. Schools there are ok but spring has some nice neighborhoods. Reach out below if you’d like to dive deeper into spring, happy to help.
This is a good list!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
This was a very good video. Very informative. I’m from out of state and we are researching this area. You gave us a lot of info. However you are not talking about the housing market recession we have entered. The interest rates. There are price reductions everywhere! I know you need to earn commissions but you should be honest about what is taking place and advising people to wait until the market hits bottom before they buy so they don’t go upside down and loose there home. Honest Texas realtors on UA-cam warning. Travis - real estate mindset. Nick - Reventure Consulting. Scott Walters realtor channel. Dan - I Allegedly. Jeremiah Babe. All honest guys warning the public not to buy and showing why.
Glad you liked our video. As an expert on the market here, I follow closely what is going on daily. I don’t blanket statement “good time to buy” or “bad time to buy” like other click bait channels. It could be the perfect time to buy for one buyer, and not for another. There are many factors involved.
Not sure if you are implying I was dishonest, I’ll assume that’s not what you mean. But I had a discussion with an out of state buyer today and we ran the numbers and buying made much more sense than renting in his situation.
Currently, most price reductions in the Houston area are just sliding back down slightly to what they should have been. Prices are no longer on the rise, but they are by no means crashing at the moment. Sure rates have risen, but buyers can always refinance when rates go down.
@@livinginhtx I dont care how much rent it. It makes no sense to buy when the market is going down. Your going to go underwater and loose money. Houston area is going to see a huge downturn just like 2008. Interest rates might be high for years moving forward. They wont be coming down anytime soon. Buying right now is crazy. I see big price reductions weekly all over Harris county. If someone just waits 12 months to buy to see what happens they will see massive home price reductions. Wait for the bottom and let the dust settle before you buy a home. In the mean time pay off all debt and save cash. Get ready for the firesale of a lifetime. That is what smart people are doing.
@@BayAreaCowboy we will see. I think the market will continue to slow down. But I don’t see 2008 happening here in the Houston area. Completely different factors involved. They printed a ton of money, which contributed strongly to the price increases. Now we are at the beginning of feeling the consequences. Clients that have sold in other states moving to texas are well positioned to buy. With recent price reductions, more inventory, and fewer competition it makes buying better than a few months ago.
All that said, months inventory in Houston is currently sitting at 2 months supply. An equal market would have 6.5 months supply. There is a housing shortage here in Houston. Lots of factors that will help keep the prices more stable than other parts of the country.
im suprised sugarland is not part on this last as well as missouri city

I have a question. I would like to know in your own experience, what would be a good spiritual/conscious area in Texas to live in? Meditation centers and so on. Thanks.
I think you can definitely find this in Houston, I have a friend quite connected, happy to connect y'all! Reach out
Where would be a good location for waterfront with horse options on property. We currently have a ranch in wi wanting to relocate
My daughter is on Stering St. Is this a Good area of Houston Tx.
Great places but, what would be the perfect anual Income to live and work there?
This is difficult to answer. If you message me through our company number I can give you a better idea based off your income as to what kind of lifestyle you could live here.
Katy tx ❤#1
You should've called this the best Cuties around the Houston area! Your naming Cities and Counties.
Check out our updated video ua-cam.com/video/q5LdFTRPSC8/v-deo.html
I love my hood Katy a lot of brand new construction our katy mills,the Asian mall,the schools
Suburbs? You’re talking about other towns and cities! We lived in Garden Villas until Telephone Road became XXX theaters. Then we moved to Clear Lake/NASA area, then League City. Our last home was a little boutique horse, Greyhound, and chicken farm in Santa Fe off of I-45. Now we’re completely gone. I went to school (U of H and South Texas College of Law) in downtown Houston. Quite a drive! We still vacation a little in Galveston and I wouldn’t consider it a suburb of Houston.
I'm looking to buy in Houston next summer
I don't see Sugar Land in the list?
Check the new top 10!

I heard Conroe was the best spot... me and the family are thinking of moving there in December. Florida is really getting over populated and a bit nuts.
Yes I live in Conroe and love it. My wife is from Florida and her mother in law recently moved to join us here and loves it. Reach out, we’d love to help.
@livinginhtx thank you, I most definitely will.
You are thinking of moving to Houston because Florida is getting overpopulated and nuts? Good luck with that. Houston is not the change you are looking for. I escaped Houston for the same reasons you are wanting to leave Florida after living there 40+ years.
@mikehawkins4752 Florida is small. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is moving here. At least with Texas, I know it'll be easier to travel with my family, and the housing market is 100 times better for me and my wife. It definitely is a plus for us.
@darrylhudson2182 It's your life, obviously, but Texas is huge, and traveling anywhere by car takes a very long time. The cities are very spread out. I'm not a fan of Florida by any means and would never move there, but my point is Texas isn't any better, and for me, it is worse in many ways. The weather is worse, mosqitoes, fire ants and roaches are everywhere. There are so many better places to be. If you move to any of the suburbs listed in this video, you will spend most of your life in your car. Trust me, I lived most of my life in Houston. I suggest you visit now during the summer to understand. Florida's weather is cool by comparison.
Why Sienna is not in top 9 neighborhoods
It’s a great neighborhood but this is cities not specific neighborhoods
there are a lot of new communities (high end) right around the woodlands
Kirby near Woodway. Would be comfortable
Hi how do u rate the crime rate in conroe is it safe to live?
I’ve lived here most of my life and have never had issues personally. As a licensed realtor I’m not allowed to discuss crime rates in detail, but I can say from personal experience that I feel very safe here and it’s where I choose to raise my family. Like all cities there are parts with higher and lower crime but overall I don’t think about crime here
I’m curious to why you didn’t name Pearland, Missouri City, or Sugarland? These communities are beautiful as well. Your list seems a bit Biased.
I agree, watch our newer video.
ua-cam.com/video/q5LdFTRPSC8/v-deo.html
Include info on which “suburbs/areas” fall into their own municipality such as Katy having its own mayor/city council/fire/police versus unincorporated Harris County versus if The Woodlands is part of City of Houston for voting, taxes, etc.
can anyone recommend other nice areas near Friendswood please? British couple here potentially moving for work. thanks.
League City & Pearland have some nice options
Reach out to our team and we can answer all of your questions
ferrisrealty.com/survey
Ok what about Willis Texas ?
Clearlake/Webster should be on this list also. Ijs
Pearland is not on the list? Guess you merged it with Friendswood
What about the Tomball area? I’m looking in that area as well as Cypress.
Or magnolia? 😊
Self sustaining suburb , master plans, family oriented is Sugar Land
ua-cam.com/video/6dmz88iDa9g/v-deo.html
Sugarland definitely deserve a spot! Flabbergasted Sugarland was not on the list!
@@joel-dq5je ua-cam.com/video/6dmz88iDa9g/v-deo.html we agree
Dude out Conroe as #3. Heck nah. There’s bias there clearly he said he was born and raised there. Cask any Native Houstonian and most would say it’s more like a 7 or 8 in a too 10 Houston suburb.
Do you have any video about Texas City?
Galveston is completely out, League city looks much better. Sugarland should be in the list as well very beautiful.
Agreed. ua-cam.com/video/q5LdFTRPSC8/v-deo.html
Sugarland yes, but League City is not beautiful or safe.
@@majourpayne
Didn’t know that it’s not safe, however in terms of beauty it’s better than Galveston
@@adams6798 Texas City will never look better than any city in Texas. Believe me 🤣🤣🤣
@@adams6798 just saw a news report about several apartments being struck by bullets in Texas City today. Safe ha 😳
Much flooding in Conroe TX?
The good thing about most of Houston after hurricane Harvey is that we know which areas flood and which don’t. There are parts of Conroe we know flood, but they are easy to avoid in any home search. Overall Conroe doesn’t flood bad.
Any opinions on Crosby or Baytown?
Thank you. Im a broker in Vietnam.
It’s expensive living inside the city. These suburbs are a lot cheaper vs inside the loop per sqft.
How would you rate Sugar Land TX
#4 if I could redo the video.
ua-cam.com/video/6dmz88iDa9g/v-deo.html
hi and magnolia is not a good option?
We love magnolia! Check out our video ua-cam.com/video/oEFZiNM0YUQ/v-deo.html
Magnolia is nice
The Hurricane of 1910, fun fact!
A more fun fact is my bank account from all the homes I sell from this UA-cam channel. Thanks for your support!
surprised sugarland is not in your list
Is Tomball a good suburb?
Tomball is a great suburb. It’s a good blend of modern amenities but still a dash country. Has good schools and established trees.
@@livinginhtx thanks for the info, I’m moving there in a few days.
@@HoodAdventures nice, let us know if we can help in any way, our info is in the comments, just reach out
@@livinginhtx thank you i appreciate it.
You put Katy better than Cypress!
Woodlands > Katy
You forget to mention number one neighborhood suburb which is Sugarland
Yes! Watch our updated video
ua-cam.com/video/q5LdFTRPSC8/v-deo.html
What about Missouri City?
We’re looking in Katy. moving from Chicago. This or Missouri city
Texas
WE have tons of videos on Katy and down in the Missouri City area. Let us know if we can help!
