1. Great for raising a family
Aint no state taxes ?
@@blazinjaye45 no state taxes but property taxes are very high in texas
I moved from Saint Louis to here in H-town and was like wtf, so many opportunities for people of color, the restaurants is off the chain, the highways aint for no game, gittin off work, I started my business.. graduated with a b.a from A.I.U and just got excepted to Rice University to get my masters, half the time I don’t know where to eat it’s 31 thousand restaurants here literally and growing 259 people everyday from people relocating , galleria mall will walk u to be like I need a nap lol, Galveston is the best and it’s fun here my kids love it like we ain’t going back to the Lou, first opportunity got a real good job and bought a brand new house on the eastside wallisville rd and beltway 8, one thing here yo car better be right gittin on these highways..lol, and banks are more non judgmental toward people of color, I love it
I was honestly getting sad and down-hearted by the many negative sentiments that people hold towards Houston, often those from other states. But this enlightens my spirit, since I am a native Houstonian and I am proud of my city.
Glad this video lifted your spirits ❤️
I'm choosing Houston over Atlanta cause I actually hear more good things from Houston!
We are expected to move to Houston for my husband`s job - he now reports to HQ in Houston - however, I am too scared of the crime rates and that people carry guns. Do you mind telling me what life is like there? Do you feel threatened all the time, worry about kids at school, or worry about saying something if there's something wrong done against you? We are planning to visit before making a decision, though it would be just for multiple days and don`t think it is enough time.
I’ve been debated over mover to Houston since 2018!!! I was born and raised near the ArkLaTex border. This video really helped
Glad to see y’all back and definitely putting out move videos. I kinda thought about you all during the freeze we had here. Glad all is well and you’re still happy with your move here. Thanks for the video

I moved to WA state from Houston in 1997 and I'm still tight with my elementary and middle school friends, church people, and family friends from the neighborhood. 😸 Houston is a special town that way. I was only 21 when I left. My Minnesota family migrated there in the 70s because it was Boom Town.
I’m looking to move from Brooklyn and Texas is at the top of my list so I’m on UA-cam looking to see where is best to go! Thanks for both y’all videos
Can I take you out when you get here?
I'm looking to move within a month. Did you make the move?
This was a great video, i am definitely considering moving to Houston from Chicago, I’m just still stuck on when…..part of me ready NOW 🤣 but then i just keep telling myself to wait one more year. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ Thanks guys this was very helpful😊
You got this! We highly encourage you to take a visit it you have not already! Thanks for watching. We wish you the absolute best!!!
When I came from Cali and seen the love I was like wow. I would love to live in Texas. Im moving soon!
I’m stuck between Houston & Dallas right now from Long Island NY!!! But honestly you listed everything that Long Island has. I haven’t come across all my boxes regarding Dallas…. I do love the Rockets for sure over the Cowboys 😂
I'm a new subscriber Welcome to Houston. I've been here all my life. Yall point on with the good and bad🌟💯
Welcome to the family! Thanks for watching.
@@HanginWithTheYoungs Aww Your welcome😊
New subscriber and you guys are doing an awesome job pointing out pros and cons in Houston...
I am from Houston born and raised it makes me feel good to here so many positive feed backs from new residents.
I have traveled outside Houston one time and that was to Chicago...
To be honest I wanted to move to Chicago, but the weather stop me 😳😳😳...
If I was cold natured I think I would have made that move...
Next on my travel list is New York and California.
To be honest guy's most Houstonians do not travel much...
If you guys get a chance visit Lucille's restaurant it is black owned and they play jazz on Thursday.
Also we have Top Golf and Andrette for the kids in Katy...
Also visit the Razzoo's restaurant in the fountains...
Also we have the Turkey Leg Hut restaurant which is black owned...
You guys have a beautiful family and God bless you on this new journey💝💝💝...
We appreciate your kind words and feedback! It’s super helpful! Yes we love summertime Chi and Houston is now a fav! We are excited to be here! 🥰

Same here! I miss the fall too! Love wearing my light layers, scarves and cute boots lol. Nice so you’re not too far from us. Would love for our families to connect one day.

Really love your videos and the quality! we just moved down to Houston too! And your list is spot on lol we came for more diversity and opportunity.
We are looking for a good church home too so if you have any recommendations please tell 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thanks for watching. We have a lot in common lol. We plan to start looking for a church home soon. Maybe sometime in the near future we all can connect! 😁

love it here it’s been about 3 yrs check out buffalo bayou it’s a sexy couple restaurant
we go to Hope city for church check it out it’s 🔥
#Godisdope we should connect #family of 6
@@sophiak.martin2820 wow! I have family that live in the waukegan / gurnee area, small world! I’ve heard of Hope City and have it on my list to check out. Thanks for the restaurant recommendation. We love exploring new spots. Would love to connect, how old are your kids? Do you have FB or IG?
-Jazz
Yes! That would be awesome 😊 (connecting in the future)
I’m gonna have to try that restaurant out as well and the church, cause we have been visiting but aren’t sure we found our “church home” yet 😊
@@daywithk great! Do you have FB or IG?
Y'all check out the NASA Space Center! And Lagoon Beach Houston for a family outing. It's nice!
We sure will. Thanks for watching
I’m looking to move to Texas! Just doing my research. Which part u suggest?
I live in Houston it’s sooooooooooo fun
It's beautiful here.
I love Houston
Great video guys. God bless Texas !!!
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm iffy on the weather part! I'm (hopefully) moving from Wisconsin. I hate the -40 degree days, but I'm not sure 100+ degree days are any better either! At least no snow lol. Any recommendations on neighborhoods for young people? Appreciate the water st reference. I like the sound of Washington! Lol
Weather beats up north hands down. It was 70 degrees in H town yesterday. More pleasant year round. The hot summers last about 2 months. Most times the temperature hangs in high 90’s during the summer. A few weeks, it may be in 100’s but that’s when you stay inside with the AC lol. There’s a lot of good neighborhoods for young people. Would recommend you’d stay closer to downtown than the burbs (like midtown and uptown). They’re usually busy areas with a lot of movement.
@@HanginWithTheYoungs Thanks a lot! I was seeing those areas when I was doing some research too. I know it's a bit optimistic (from what I've read) to live without a car, but I'm hoping perhaps downtown I can make that a reality. I despise cars. I suppose you're right about the AC. I guess 100 degree days beats -40 with a foot of snow every time lol
Murals seem to be kinda of a big deal in Houston.
That’s cool 😎.
have you thought about hope city as a church home
we are moving from Edmond okc can you do more videos about Houston we are gonna be moving there with in a year or two so i just wanna know as much as can
Thanks for watching watching. Checkout some of our other videos about our experience so far in Houston. What other topics would you like us to discuss about Houston or about us in general?
I was really skeptical about making the move after you mentioned the amber alerts, but watching this video just confirmed my move *the pros outweigh the cons* thank you 🙏🏾 Lol what were the names of those restaurants again? Beautiful family by the way 😍
Come to Houston! We wish you all the best! Check Steak 48, and Grace's here in Houston when you get a chance.
Those Amber Alert goes off every week and it's all over in Texas. I drive trucks through Texas
@@armanitransport2604 Don't act like it ain't the same in other states..
Hey family so glad y'all njoyin Houston , hey i'll be in Lubbock TX next Saturday the 7th.If possible would love to get together if we're not that far away from each other
Planning to move here at the end of June but not having the best luck finding a job in information technology(IT) :(
We wish you best on your journey! Thanks for watching.
In high school I went to Humble
Houston change lives…
My family and I are planning on moving there in a couple years. What suburban cities would you recommend on the outskirts of Houston? That sounds perfect for families.
CYPRESS, Tx!!!!!! Beautiful
Park full of people is bad honestly cuz kid nappers :( but Houston is my home town and I love it 😻 Houston is over popular Evan tho it IS MY HOME TOWN
More about heat weather, dallas vs Houston
Heat in Dallas is more dry. There isn’t a body of water nearby so it can feel hotter. Houston is humid. We’re close to the gulf so more precipitation. Both get hot. I think Dallas gets cooler in the winter.
Moving from Racine in the next few weeks
Wishing you the best on your move!
Hey, I’m born and raised in Milwaukee
Milwaukee in the house!!!
I'm looking to move but worry about all the shooting in break ends 😐
Definitely safe first. Visit a few times before you make your final decision.
We had a major car accident today WE ARE ALL OK JUST SHAKEN UP ACHE AND PAIN 5 car pile up, we were 3rd to get hit I'm so over Huston 😥 please pray🙏🙏🙏 for us all!!! 💯❤
So happy to hear you all are okay!🙏🏾 definitely praying for you all!!🙏🏾❤️ Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Things happen Monique. Just people not paying attention. GOD speed love.
I went to Houston Texas before
I see your points but I cannot understand why does it rain so much I moved here in March 2021 and it is now June and I swear it has rained every day For a while there I thought I made the wrong turn and moved to Seattle lol
lol it's raining now lol.
Rufus, this is unusual.
What are the best schools for our African American children (I'm talking specific feeder patterns within districts). I'm looking for schools where they'll be treated fairly and educated at a high quality.

I’m from Milwaukee looking to move to Houston. Do y’all still rock the Packer gear?
Bear fans ova here lol.
I been houston for 2 decades but the summer is worst for me and humid and when it floods too I hate it and the mosquitos, but Really hate how spread out is cuz i have drive everywhere it takes like 35m to get where I want to cuz traffic is worst it reminds of LA, and it get boring one you try everything in downtown lol but girl you should do some research before u got here about raising a family, it ghetto out there houston, I see it all I got robbed at parking lot downtown , there shootings and murders everyday on news and robbery downtown💀 yeah they got park and places like arts, ect everything u can name of for kids but dam i be sweating when I would walking around that park at summer time 😅 good thing they have water parks
For that hot, sticky, humid summer ! Austin’ tx is best place to live, I travel there. But stay safe, u know downtown has its sketchy situations take off from Migos was murder downtown so be careful, there good and bad there I’m telling you cuz I’m been here 2 decades.
You mentioned low cost of living, I hear property tax in Houston is above the national average, is that true ? I live in California and I’m thinking about moving there, but not if the property tax is higher than California which is one of the highest in the nation. @HanginWithTheYoung’s
It’s true, Texas is like the 7th highest in the US with property taxes. I don’t know how Cali ranks but the value for homes in Cali is much higher so your costs would offset (what you’d be saving in home value, you may slightly pay towards property taxes). Of course, this depends on the home you buy in TX, you may even save. We came from chicago, Illinois which is like 4th in the US so for us it was a savings. Texas also has a homestead exemption you could file for that will give you about a 20% relief each year.
I’m from Chicago also looking to move to Houston, have you ever encountered a snake let alone one in your home in Houston? Just trying to see how common they are in that town
We have not experienced a snake in our home. Our neighbors have tho!
@@HanginWithTheYoungs also, what car shipping service did you use?
@@chanellw5586 We used a local company in north suburbs, Loadaza Transportation and Logistics
What are some good neighborhoods?
To many to choose from.
Random question, do u guys edit ur own videos?
Just asking cus the editing is fire
Dione edits all the video on our channel. Thanks so much!
Can you recommend a good church in Houston (preferably non-denominational)?
We are looking to start our search for a church home soon. I’ve heard of Lighthouse Church (non denominational) in Humble but that’s quite a drive for us. Still planning to check it out though. We’ll probably do a video on our search for a church home soon.
@@HanginWithTheYoungs please do make a video. I'm relocating to Houston this summer and finding a church home is definitely a priority.

check out Hope City 🏙 with pastor Jeremy
No we don't need no more people (Ok I'm joking you guys) lol but traffic is horrible . I'm moving to a smaller city which is still near Houston. But Texas is much friendlier and the food is bomb. May I add the houses are way cheaper than West coast and up North. Btw I live in Katy near (Top Golf) I suggest that area
Agreed!!! Thanks for watching
I want to move but I am single mom of 3 just had a baby. Can I do it?
Thanks for watching. Of course you can! Just weigh out the pros and cons of moving to Houston for you. Create plan and schedule a visit if you never been here before.
Save your money first
Look no further than Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church. There is ALWAYS room on the Avenue!
We will definitely look into it. Thanks for watching!
bet they live in sugarland
what part of houston
There’s good parts all over but generally we like southwest/west suburbs - Katy, sugarland, because it’s diverse. I’ve heard some parts of humble and astascocita are nice with young families and professionals.
@@HanginWithTheYoungs thak you for your reply.
It's MUCH cheaper to live outside the loop, but the best parts of houston are inside the 610 loop so it just depends on what your priorities are
Houston is definitely a good city to raise a family. The weather can get super humid.
Im sorry but Dallas isn't a good place to raise a family and 80% of the people in Dallas cannot drive neither. Are maybe because they have so much road construction everywhere. The roads are terrible too
Why do you think Dallas wouldn’t be a good place to raise a family? Just curious because I usually here Dallas over Houston if you have a family!
I love your high quality content but please make the intro shorter!
Thanks for the feedback! We were just saying the same thing lol. Thanks for watching!
I’m from jersey tryna move it’s way to expensive here taxes $10-20,000 a year but how’s the flood and hurricanes I keep hearing about that in Houston
Not as much, but they do happen. I'd recommend finding a no flood zone location to live here in Houston!
I'm from NJ too! Did you move yet? I'm planning my move for this year or early 2023.
Compare with dallas
Noted!
If you don’t have a good job or graduated from College/University with a degree, believe me don’t try to move to Houston. You’ll get paid $9 to $15 maximum per hour for work which isn’t good enough. You’ll have to work two jobs to LIVE in Houston. Believe me
Or a trade
The fact that in NJ I was getting thrown 15 an hour like it was something. Definitely had to work 2 Jobs to live on my own without help.
God IS dope!
Nope Houston is more expensive than Michigan ☹️
True, but less expensive then Chicago.
@@HanginWithTheYoungs Very true 😊
Indians….Asians ….hahaha
🤦🏽♀️🤣
DO NOT MOVE HERE!! WE ARE FULL!!!! Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just leave liberal politics where you are - please don’t bring that to Houston Texas
We’re actually quite conservative. Please don’t make assumptions and spread hate to people you don’t know. Thanks!
