    I’m doing this. Currently work for Amazon and they’ll transfer me. I’ve been wasting time in a heartless relationship and my 30th birthday is this summer. I’m gonna give myself the gift of a fresh start. I’ve decided this is what I want.

    I'm convinced I picked the wrong state to be in and I have a plan to move there in 4 years. Seems to me Houston has a very California-like vibe that's has been growing for decades. Only considerably more affordable.

    Love your delivery and the positive spin you put on things here in Houston. Even the "Cons" you manage to give an upbeat spin on it. Being retired now, under the "Cons" I personally would swap the traffic and the heat positions. But that's just me. Since retiring, I've taken up photography/videography and I always try to show Houston's glossy side. And considering where I migrated from 40 years ago (NYC) Houston is many steps ahead when it comes to livability.

      @QueenAshonti 3 роки тому +5

      It honestly depend on your budget and the type of environment you desire to live in. Houston is so big and then you have the outskirts to consider as well. Now I will say I agree with Dre. If you don't want to be in the hood or unsafe areas you aren't comfortable with, stay away from those places, as well as 3rd ward, southeast (specifically south park, sunnyside areas). Settegast, trinity gardens, east houston, north forest area, the list could go on. It's best to either work with a realtor or get assistance from a friend or acquaintance who is a native Houstonian.
      Hope this helps.

      Cypress is cool, but far from the center of the city. It really depends on where you will be working and how far of a commute you want to do. Traffic is bad here (like a major city), try to live as close to your job as you can. P.S. I'm from Ohio too! Been in H-Town almost 3 years.
