    Business brought us from California (San Luis Obispo) to The Woodlands in 1984. We are in Gorgans Mill with a home on the TPC golf course (3rd hole, 4th tee box). After I retired in 2016 we thought about moving but everything is so close that we have just stayed put. We really like it here.... the pavilion.. the waterway, market square, the low crime rater and high quality of living keep us feeling good about living here. Take care.

  • @Nicole-fp6gh

    Living in the Houston area and seeing these new neighborhoods popping up, I advise looking at the quality of the homes. The new houses have the style and on the surface may look nicer, but not all homes are the same quality. Also, the lot sizes for these new neighborhoods are tiny. This could be a plus for some people. Based on personal experience it got old being so close to the neighbors. Interior finishings can be updated, but location and lot size can not be changed.

    I haven't seen him touch on one major issue... flooding and elevation certificates. You absolutely must check FEMA flood maps before buying anything. The first year I lived in Cypress, the streets flooded. The 2nd year, water came up over the curb. The 3rd year, the fire dept. offloaded rescue airboats in front of my house. So I sold the house, which had an elevation certificate saying it was 10 feet above the 100-year flood plain. But when hurricane Harvey hit, the house flooded. The crazy weather patterns we're seeing are bound to get worse, so make sure that anything you buy is well above the flood plain.

    I lived all but 4 years (Serving In the Army) of my 50 years in the greater Houston area.
    Many of the areas you mentioned are just what you say. I think one thing that you may have either neglected to mention or don't know about because of not growing up here, is that the areas you mentioned inside the loop that are very nice to live in, are surrounded by areas you DO NOT want to go into.
    These are predominantly very low-income areas and the gentrification of those areas has resulted in a very large gap where there are very abrupt differences between areas right next to each other. This is something that is very prevalent in the greater Houston area.
    Mentioning the Wards (early 1900s development areas) is a good way of providing some insight into why certain areas are populated by certain demographics and why (to some degree) there is such a large difference between adjacent parts of town.
    As wonderful as Houston is (it has nearly always been my home) there are downsides to living in Houston. The crime rate in Houston proper is nearly the same as in Chicago.
    Outside the beltway and closer to 99 (the Grand Parkway), and beyond may mean a longer commute, but the areas are generally less crime-ridden, though not devoid of it.
    Just on the off chance that you haven't already heard this, in Houston, travel is calculated in time, not miles.
    I'm glad you have and are taking the time to showcase the greater Houston Area: It is a very culturally diverse city with many wonderful amenities for families and individuals.
    Also, when mentioning areas that are south of Houston, it should be noted that those particular areas are often prone to flooding and the more devastating effects of Hurricanes. Truth and transparency are important in helping individuals make a truly informed decision about moving to the Houston area.
    Again, thank you for showcasing Houston. It is far better than my comments may make it seems; I love Houston, but like any other place, there are downfalls.

    • @heatherhere
      @heatherhere Рік тому +2

      We have lived in these areas inside the loop for 24 years. I grew up in Katy, and have family there, so I’m very familiar with it and other suburbs of Houston. These so called areas you “do not want to go into” is overblown in my opinion. I have always felt as safe inside 610 as I have outside 610. Everyone has different things they like or don’t like, but for those who appreciate older buildings and different styles and lots of parks and museums and other things to do, don’t let this comment scare you out of living inside 610. It’s been a fabulous place for our family and our kids have truly enjoyed growing up here. Moving outside 610 would not be something we would want to voluntarily do. So, just wanted to put this out there for anyone considering central Houston.

    • @ComteSt.Germain
      @ComteSt.Germain Рік тому +4

      @@heatherhere these bad areas are compartmentalized. There are places near 610 that are absolutely not safe for anyone, even the residents, let alone "outsiders" that are not from those specific areas. I'm not saying there aren't good areas, just that the mix of good and bad areas can be, and often are, right next to one another. My comment was meant to be a statement of awareness, not meant to scare people or deter them from moving to Houston. Heather is correct in saying that there are many great things inside the loop, but in all reality, there are some really not good areas also.

As reference for Pearland, in the 90s from 288 to Strickland chevrolet (might be bayway now) there was just fields. 288 used to be the backway into friendswood if 45 was messed up (not anymore)

I joined a few facebook groups and there was lots of discussion of this happening to the existing homeowners too.

    What people need to realize is when taking the beltway, some of it is free and from beltway 8 west of Ella is tolls. Also it depends on where you’re coming from and going, sometimes it’s actually cheaper to take the non toll roads and deal with a little bit of traffic depending on what time of day and day of the week it’ll be cheaper than paying out the butt in tolls compared with paying gas to get there.

The one from two years ago you seemed a little more sleepy, a bit reticent, almost as if you were trying not to bother the person in the next room in your house etc, compared to this recent video where you seem like you're having a blast and are extremely confident in your material. And you're sharing that enthusiasm with the viewers. It's working.
