The guy and girl who said that Dallas has the better food and agreed that Dallas has the worst traffic proved to me they don’t know what they are talking about. Born and raised in Texas and I have lived in the DFW for years and have visited Houston multiple times. Houston is absolutely more diverse in the food and has horrific traffic. The man who said traffic in Houston lasts the whole day is not lying.
Yeah I’m from Dallas and frequent Houston for family and friends. I’d say Dallas traffic has definitely gotten worse than Houston’s over the last few years
Facts. The traffic here in Houston is terrible. Honestly, the traffic used to be easy back in the day. Houston has changed a great deal since 2010. The majority of the people are not from here, but I still love my city.
I lived in both and love both for different reasons. Dallas is better for weather, jobs, overall clealiness, and things to do outside just partying. Houston feels more cultured, more fun, better food, and more affordable. Houston is on the up but Dallas is still far enough ahead in my opinion. And Dallas food is really good but Houston is just top tier with the food
Sounds like you’ve found the best of both worlds in each city! I totally agree-Dallas is great for jobs and staying active outside of the party scene, but Houston’s got that culture and next-level food. It’s hard to top the food in H-Town, for sure! What do you think it would take for Houston to close the gap with Dallas in areas like jobs and overall growth?
@@DallasRelocationGuide You may not like this but it's the truth. Houston is not as appealing to white folks as Dallas is so it will always be a step behind to Dallas. And actually for many years Houston was further behind than it is now to Dallas so progress has been made but it won't ever beat Dallas. Also Houston weather, air quality, and flooding is another huge negative. Dallas is the most appealing city in Texas to all races regardless if people agree with it or not. The facts speak to that. It's been the fastest growing metro area in the state since forever in every metric
I’m from Miami And one thing I love abt Houston is tht certain parts will have you feeling like your in Beverly Hills on rodeo dr or even back home on ocean dr you’ll get tht tropical feel w/ all the palm 🌴 here Especially in highland village I’ve been to Dallas and it just doesn’t do it for me Houston feels More like home away from home!!!
I currently live in Dallas, been here for nine years, lived in Houston it’s honestly becoming like Atlanta 2.0 , From economic standpoint Business is much better in Dallas. I wouldn’t move back to Houston the weather is hotter. Dallas is just better for me.
Living wise because of the houses/family lifestyle i choose Dallas, but i love Houston more than Dallas. It's more Southern Hospitality, and the food is better. The night life is wayyy better in Houston.
Houston for culture and Dallas for corporate/settling in a nice neighborhood. The strength of Houston is in the city while the strength of Dallas/DFW tends to be in the suburbs which makes Houston the more urban option of the two. Heat is not as humid in Dallas. Both areas are super diverse whereas Houston is more of a melting pot (to me) while Dallas is more like a salad. Houston also has bigger brand universities located within the city of Houston (Rice/TSU/U of H).
All very accurately stated. Although North Texas U., TCU, and SMU arent too shabby either. (I realize these arent all inside the city of Dallas proper, but theyre usually still considered part of the MSA)
Over the years I feel like Dallas traffic has gotten worse than Houston’s… I live in Houston, and I can get around as long as I avoid the peak hours and certain highways. In Dallas during peak traffic hours, It’s horrible even if you try to take the back roads. In Houston I can take certain back roads and be fine because they have more streets you can take to avoid.
I drive for a living. My reasoning for that is two things. Half of Dallas freeways are freaking tolls and the other half are always under construction. It's almost never a smooth drive anywhere in dallas
I lived in dallas/plano and Houston. I like both but i prefer Houston. People say its ghetto it may appear that way in areas. When you live here you find out where the good areas are and there are plenty!
@DallasRelocationGuide I just always preferred the houston area I'm originally from oklahoma so I've been to dfw several times and found houston area something new to what I'm used to. I like dfw my fav city would be plano or frisco legacy area also Addison area
Plano is Collin county not Dallas county . Just making sure people understand that because the city of Dallas is nothing like Plano, Addison and Denton.
@sjwilliams123 I wouldn't say nothing alike but yes plano has differences and is in Collin county. Garland is in dallas County and I think it's a difference between it and Dallas but all these cities and suburbs run into each other
@@mooneymoney7484 if you lived in the city of Dallas which consists of Oak Cliff, Pleasant Grove, South Dallas , East Dallas, West Dallas or North Dallas and you move to Plano , Denton you will understand what i’m saying.
I live in the DFW area and think Dallas is a better because the transit is much better in Dallas then Houston. Dallas have a longer rail system to travel within the surrounding area. Houston is limited and i am surprise since Houston is better. Dallas have more business moving here and the school system is much better then Houston. Houston cost of living is slightly cheaper then Dallas in comparison. Houston have flooding from storms or hurricanes. Dallas have flooding but not often. Crime is everywhere but Houston crime is a little more worst then Dallas.
I grew up visiting family in both (all areas in the two cities) and now have lived in both about 5 years a piece through my 30's into my early 40's. From my experience Dallas is more family and 'I'm done with the night life' leaning. There are some nice spots for Black folks, but nowhere near as many as Houston. Even my cousins that visit from Dallas say Houston is 'nonstop' 😂. They come here to Houston to 'cut up'...As for H-town, it's more for the folks that aren't thinking anything about a family for the most part. Strictly making money (Hustle City USA) in many ways especially the medical and energy industries and thoroughly enjoying the night life (work hard, play hard). Houston starts partying on Wednesday and doesn't stop until Sunday Funday is over. You can close your eyes and throw a rock and hit a Black owned restaurant and or bar and lounge in Houston and meet folks from all over the social spectrum. Just my experiences of the two cities. Glad to be back in Houston. Musically and culturally, Houston is to Texas as Atlanta is to Georgia or NY to the East Coast. And yes, the food here is ridiculous 💯 Maaaayyyyyyynnnnnneeeee! ✌🏿😂
Haha, I love how you put that-Houston really is “Hustle City USA!” It sounds like you’ve got a solid perspective on both cities after living in each for a good chunk of time. Houston definitely has that nonstop vibe, and I can see why people would come to cut loose! The food, the culture, the music-it’s all next level. What do you think keeps you most connected to Houston compared to Dallas, especially now that you’re back?
@@DallasRelocationGuide Yes indeed. I work as an engineer in the oil and gas industry so that's the number 1 reason I'm here. Socially, when I do decide to cut up, it's like being in the 'Chunk Up the Deuce' , 'Still Tippin' , any UGK, Devin the Dude, or Scarface song video shoot. 😂 Also, folks that are from Houston tend to be very down to earth no matter how much money they have or their status.
As a Houstonian, nah. Dallas is just enough for me. The black population may be the exact same as Houston but it’s balanced. In Houston, the black population is all clustered into the western half of the metro area. And most black neighborhoods are low income (I’m black and I’m from Houston) But in DFW the black population is spread out into clusters across the metro area and some are wealthy black neighborhoods and some aren’t
I'm from Florida. I moved to Houston 3.5 years ago. If you move to Houston, live on the outskirts. Living inside the loop is very active and can get sketchy. Also, Houston's infrastructure is very weird so be careful where you live or buy a home. The flooding can be crazy.
I’m from Houston born and raised only been to Dallas to visit. I believe it’s subjective depending on what your lifestyle entails and what all are you into .
Facts. I'm from Houston, and our city is changing. Traffic is getting worse each year, and the majority of the people are not from here anymore. Times are changing.
Totally agree-it all comes down to what you’re looking for! Both cities have something different to offer depending on your vibe and lifestyle. What’s something about Houston that really matches your lifestyle and makes it feel like home?
I'm always watching your videos but I never really comment. However, I'm going with Dallas. Dallas does have hospitality at least I've always felt that way when visiting. In over 20yrs of being back and forth by car and plane visiting I've never had issues in the DFW. People or food wise. I'm going to eventually move there. I like the burbs there in comparison to the KansasCity,MO area. Houston is cheaper in some ways, but it is a little ghetto. There's things that happen in both cities but driving wise I'm choosing Dallas. The one thing I wish would happen for Dallas is that they clean up South Dallas. It could be better than what it is.
@DallasRelocationGuide Rockwall and Garland are definitely areas to look into. When I was there in February, I was able to check out more of the Irving area, and I feel it still has some more potential. I haven't seen Arlington in a while it feels too far out, lol. Now, recently, I've wanted to check out the Carrollton area. So hopefully, next time I'm down that way, I'll be able to do so. The Eullus area may be an area for me to check out as well, but my whole thing is for someone like myself, I prefer to be near the airports when I move. Right now I'm about 50min from the airport in KC and it's annoying. If I need to fly to Chicago. KC or out East once I move, I'm going to want that convenience. Driving from South KC to North KC is literally like driving from Dallas to Arlington or Fort Worth
@JustRoTv80 I am born and raised in DFW. I would like to help you out. I used to live in Rockwall. It was very boring and if the is an accident you a stuck due to the bridge. N. Garland only. I currently live in Denton County and I am less than 10 mins from the airport. Check out Grapevine, Lewisville, The Colony, Addison, Euless, Carrollton and very last Irving unless it's the Valley Ranch/Las Colinas area. S. Dallas (the fair park area) is being gentrified but all the areas I mention will put you very close to the DFW airport but maybe 25 mins from Love Field airport.
Houston is cool BUT Dallas is sooo much better! I lived in Houston for 7 months from NJ and moved back to NJ. I did not like it and a few years later moved to Dallas and stayed. It's been 10 years now! This is only my opinion!

in my opinion i think Dallas is better because u have everything u need here Nightlife oppurtunities ect also I like Cold weather and in houston it stays warm all year round while in Dallas it Snows and has nice Cool Fall seasons🍁
Unfortunately, Houston used to be a quiet city, wasn't a party city. My city has become a college city. The traffic has gotten worse, and the crime is terrible. Dallas is quiet, and has less crime. The food is better here in Houston, but Dallas is nice. I'm from Houston, and love my city, but the problems are getting worse.
I hear you-Houston has definitely changed a lot over the years, especially with the growth and all the college life happening now. The traffic and crime are tough, but Houston still has that amazing food scene going for it! Dallas does have a quieter vibe in comparison, for sure. What do you think could help Houston get back some of that quieter, less hectic feel it used to have?
You've must've never been to Kappa Beach Party, Richmond Strip in the 80s and 90s or went downtown during in the early 2000s. Houston [and Dallas] honestly have historically been party cities. Dallas was HUGE in the rave scene and Deep Ellum was the place to be.
I haven’t watched the whole video yet but I wanted to say, Houston is more for the Younger (18-34) crowd. Dallas is more for when you actually grow up(35 and up). I’m 47 and lived in Atlanta for 10 years right after college. Trust me when I say you grow out of the club/lounge scene! I moved to Dallas when I was 34. Don’t get me wrong, I still like a nice lounge and going out from time to time. You can absolutely get it in in Dallas. It’s just not known as a “party city”. That just the nightlife area. Dallas beats it in all other areas!
@@DallasRelocationGuide we live in the Frisco area. We have investment properties all over Texas and in Florida, but we’ll be hitting your team up about east metro Dallas. Specifically Forney area. I see a lot of opportunity out there!
We have no HBCU so that hurts us BADLY. Basically South Dallas is where we should invest and add lounges and stuff but everyone is scared of HBCU. Dallas has no soul 😅
Bruh your videos are SO helpful! I’m planning to move from Illinois to Houston in the next few weeks. But now I gotta take a trip to both cities to see for myself how I like it. Houston attracts me more because I hear it’s a more youthful crowd, more black people and better food. But Dallas attracts me too cuz it’s not as humid, better corporate opportunities and little cleaner and safer. I’m torn between the two!🤦🏽♂️im employed, single male with no kids and ready to find THE ONE and im leaning towards Houston because of the night life too… 😩I gotta visit
Both are good choices for you, If you are wanting more of the nightlife Id say Houston has Dallas Beat. If your looking for the One, Id say Dallas would be your best bet
Haha, sounds like you’ve found a balance between the two cities-Dallas for the grind and Houston for the fun! Thanks for the kind words on the video, I appreciate it! And I can imagine as a truck driver you’ve got the best insight on traffic-Dallas can definitely get rough on the roads. What do you think makes Houston a better place to play compared to Dallas?
@@DallasRelocationGuide Houston has better food and a nightlife in my opinion. Dallas is okay but I will say there is something to do in both cities. Can’t speak on Houston traffic because I don’t live there…but when I was there in a semi truck I had little no issues with the traffic, compared to Dallas
if people say Houston is ghetto that is because they hangout in the ghetto parts of the city, and that says more about them than it does about Houston.
Imo Dallas is actually more of a concrete jungle, fast paced, hustler city and houston is more deep southern hospitality, by the swamp, traditional texas city
I've lived in both cities..at first I thought Houston was better because of the diversity of people, better food, and it seemed faster but over the years, Dallas has REALLY picked up in growth and offer just as much as Houston or more. Dallas metroplex is better, (Arlington with Six Flags, Frisco etc.) looks, kept better as far as appearance in roads, landscaping and everything nationally comes through Dallas as far as entertainment, better Fine Arts, State Fair is better compared to Houston's Rodeo, and Dallas easily has the best metro rail system in Texas. Houses are cheaper in Houston but my house here in Dallas has also doubled in value because of the growth. Dallas pretty much see all 4 seasons and Houston constantly has floods and hurricane weather. Dallas wins hands down for me, but I still like Houston, though.
Sounds like you’ve seen both cities evolve over time! Dallas really has stepped up with growth, and you're right-there’s so much happening now, from entertainment to the fine arts, and that State Fair is hard to beat. Plus, the weather in Dallas is definitely more balanced compared to Houston’s crazy floods and hurricanes. What do you think has been the biggest change in Dallas that made you lean more in its favor over the years?
@@DallasRelocationGuide The biggest change to me seems to be the growth of people and companies coming to North Texas. People will follow where the jobs are. Gentrification has also played a part in the revitalization of some areas in Dallas as well that has brought new shops, restaurants, new people in the city and a younger crowd. (Trinity Groves area, Deep Ellum, Bishop Arts, Lower Greenville comes to mind. The Midpark (formerly Valley View) project will be the icing on the cake if they can ever get it going). Overall, I'm BEYOND glad that I purchased a home early near the "high 5" area in North Dallas at an unbelievable price (and low interest rate) in 2014 before the boom started and I like the direction that our city is going as well.
That’s awesome! Texas has a way of pulling people back, doesn’t it? There’s just something special about it. What’s the main thing you’re looking forward to when you make your way back to the Lone Star State?
@@DallasRelocationGuideIt’s the culture and community for me. I always found it easy to meet new people out there vs places like NYC, PHILLY, and ATLANTA. Plus it’s good food too
I love your videos! They are so informative and you talk to real people from various backgrounds. I have lived in Dallas for 8 years now, and it's been great overall. I've never visited Houston, but I've always been curious about how it is to live there. From what I know now and due to some not-so-great stats that have come out about Houston. I would visit only!
Ion know, I sense some bias tailored answers. I'm from cali but live in Houston, I drive Uber, and I pick up people from Dallas often that's here to party, and they give me a different perspective. Few have even said they're moving here cause it's cheaper with a better social life and a taste of every different culture you want to experience. Houston is hotter than Dallas but that just makes for better winters for those of us that like to be OUTSIDE in my opinion.
Houston is easy to move from one side of the city to the other. Even though it’s congested now but suburbs still feel like the city. Best restaurants & social spots. Dallas is nice and very beautiful homes. It’s like a mini LA in my opinion, tons of amenities. Day party, family friendly places, downtown is nice.
@@walter23497 I would agree but DFW is unique because 4 of its suburbs have a population exceeding 275K, with two exceeding 500 K Fort Worth is almost the size of Dallas and growing more quickly.
Thanks so much, I’m glad you liked the video! And yeah, that’s a great point-diversity can mean so many different things depending on where you are and who you’re talking to. What kind of diversity do you think makes the biggest difference in a city’s vibe or culture?
It ALL sucks. All these folks moving here from the West-coast, Midwest, East-coast are messing up southern hospitality. Huntsville, AL is where it’s at. I’ve been living in Dallas since 2008…and it’s been whack.
Yes it's almost unbearable. The traffic, overcrowding, extremely hot summers and don't even get me started on how bad the drivers are. I ended up moving to Kansas and it is a lot more peaceful, I just miss my friends and family a lot.
Both cities have pros and cons. Everyone is saying Houston has night life and Dallas is more family oriented. That’s what I like about Houston is if you get tired of that night life there is also room for family. Everybody that live in Houston is not just about partying. There’s family oriented people here as well. The only con here is hurricane season and traffic. Dallas traffic is worse always has been. I’m from Houston but was raised in Colorado and every time I use to visit from Colorado we would stop and visit relatives in Forth Worth, and Dallas on our way to Houston. Dallas highways has always been worser than Houston your highways are narrow and you have a bunch of mousetraps on your highways. Colorado got rid of a bunch of mousetraps on their highways because of all the accidents. Dallas whether you like it or not will always be that concrete jungle because you barely have green there or trees. Houston is more tropical so it just depends at the end of the day what you looking for. Far as whose a faster pace can’t really say because Houston done changed so much it’s a melting pot people moving here from all over you got fast and slow so it don’t matter when it comes to Houston it just depends on what you getting into at this point. There’s something to do for everybody fast or slow. But it all depends of what you’re looking for.
I’m from Houston but I moved to DFW back in March. Honestly i thought Dallas would be better but I was wrong. I actually think it’s worse up here than down there. The traffic is worse. Everyone has an attitude. People don’t speak here. The racism is worse than Houston. The way people drive up here scares me.. they drive like they don’t care for human life. Houston is cheaper. I had a one bedroom back in Houston for only $800 a month. I have now a one bedroom up here in Dallas Fort Worth and I’m paying $1250 a month. It’s ridiculous. I miss Houston. Definitely thinking of moving back
@@1TewBuMyShoeEven the suburbs of Dallas is black like Cedar Hill, Desoto, Lancaster, Duncanville. The suburbs of Richardson and plano might be like that but i think it’s a lot of Brothers out there also.
@@sjwilliams123 Yep, that’s why I like for ppl to be specific. They say DFW Area but may live 45 mins from The City of Dallas in Denton. The City of Dallas and Dallas County suburbs - like DeSoto, Cedar Hill, Lancaster, Duncanville, etc feel and look different from other places across The Metroplex. DeSoto is the wealthiest black suburb in Texas.
It’s a one-sided rivalry of houstonians hating Dallasites. Also, nobody is going to voluntarily visit the armpit to party unless they got business to attend to too.
I live in Houston, and I am not that amazed by the food here. I ate better in the DFW area when I lived there. But hey it’s all opinions at the end of the Day. I low key miss certain things about Dallas like the cleanliness of the city and the amenities. I like Houston though.
Go to gotti's it's a black owned restaurant. Best time to go is on Sunday's cuz they have a Brunch and they play live music. If u go by yourself there is no bar just tables sit and eat. Vibes are nice there. Overall I would rate it 9/10.
@Ragnarokstorymaker Two Black Owned Spots I've Enjoyed Frequently While Visiting Houston Were Turkey Leg Hut And Frenchy's Chicken-The Location Close To University Of Houston!
I'm from Houston, Texas. It is best that you enjoy our Black Wall Street, which is located off Emancipation in the Historical 3rd Ward. There are many Black Owned Businesses on that street. Gentrification is hurting people all over the country, but Emancipation is still holding on. Enjoy!!!!
Have you been to Dallas and Houston there both concrete jungles and both populations continues to grow their both going to need a serious Transit system.
Houston has a much worse k-12 system, alot more illegals who are new to driving, houston has more people with prior criminal records out on the streets (houston has long been known as a place to "hide" or "getaway" from something), its easier for a person who is undereducated etc to luck into a decent paying blue collar job here in houston than the dfw@DallasRelocationGuide
@@DallasRelocationGuide Thank you. As soon as it becomes a stronger prospect, I will seek you all's guidance, especially because I know absolutely nothing about Dallas. I live closer to the East Coast right now and am considering relocation to Dallas, so currently I don't know the names or locations of the areas in Dallas but will reach out when I am ready. Thank you!
The vibe in Dallas is separated to a degree by race and the way some think of you ,,,I experience hate comments and how some talk down on you in Dallas ,,,,no joke read people and you will see how some really feel about you patrioticly
I’m not from either. However, I’ve lived in both. Dallas is more career and family friendly, with less traffic.💯Trains are an option for work if necessary. Houston is fun, friendlier, diverse, great food with horrible traffic. 🌟They’re both nice, but it’s a matter of preference.
Statistically crime is higher than Dallas. All the "Houston is ghetto" is code for "there is actual Black culture that thrives in Houston." Dallas is such a stiff and white washed city and the home of the "30 thousand dollar millionaire." People pretending be super rich when they are just every day working class people like everyone else. Houston is bigger, more culture, better food, more events, better nightlife, has a beach, better sports culture, better higher ed institutions, and despite what Dallas may think there are more lucrative industries in Houston too with the world's leading medical center, energy, the port of Houston, aerospace, construction, the arts, and more fortune 500 companies. Both are hot, both can flood, Houston more prone to hurricanes and Dallad to Tornadoes and ice storms. Houston is also cheaper. There's literally zero reason to say Dallas is better. Zero.
Houston crime is higher than Dallas.... we're actually about to leave next year because of this. I love the culture, but gunshots every day and night, no matter where you live, is kind of crazy, and just as the other commenters said, you can live in a nice apt complex and have your door kicked in and have to pray your car is still there when you wake up. Gang activity is out of control.. plus A LOT of Atlanta, Chicago, and Detroit people have moved here.... not to say they're to blame, I don't want people coming for me, but you can research on google, Houston has higher crime rate than Dallas
Its not "code" for anything...what youre calling "black" culture is a ghetto cultural rot that has set in in Houston. Dallas is not just a stiffer whiter city, its also more orderly. Call it what u want, but Houston feels chaotic, and in many parts it IS chaotic. Houston doesnt have a beach either. Galveston does. And Houston has more Fortune 500 businesses than Dallas, but DFW as a whole has more Fortune 500 businesses than the Houston metro.
White washed? How so? I’m from Houston and Dallas is predominantly black and Hispanic. You can’t hide the fact Houston’s just ghetto. That’s what it is. Ghetto. Hosuton hasn’t had a theme park in years. Dallas is bigger in every way. And that’s just a fact. Hosuton has food and culture but that’s it

Dallas has everything from Universal studios to the countries largest arts district. As a Houstonian of all my life, it’s Dalals
Parkland baby, I see you! Dallas definitely has a lot of love, but yeah, Houston’s vibe hits differently, doesn’t it? There’s just something about the energy in H-Town. What’s your favorite thing about Houston’s aura that stands out to you?
@DallasRelocationGuide I'm infatuated with the slab culture and music like S.U.C and Swishahouse, just the whole DJ Screw essence. Last but not least, there's a lot of black owned food places that have great eateries ..so please try the food it's worth it
Yeah, I totally get what you mean! Houston definitely has a strong Black culture and presence that’s felt all throughout the city-from the food, music, and just the overall vibe. What parts of the city do you think really highlight that the most?
No not at all ask anyone that lives in the city of Dallas . DisD schools are 90% black even the outside cities like Cedar Hill, Duncanville, Desoto , Lancaster , and even Red Oak are black suburbs .
@@goldenchoppa3780I'm from Houston. Gentrification is changing Houston from Fifth Ward to Third Ward. People are moving in, and don't know a thing about Houston. The prices for property are going up, so true Houston folks are moving. Houston isn't the same city, and half of the people aren't from the Souf.
I lived in both and I’m currently in Houston now. Dallas has more corporate opportunity, Houston has better food and nightlife. Houston more gritty & ghetto, but parts of Dallas be flaming shi too in certain parts. Houston got hurricanes and tornadoes, Dallas only got tornadoes. Houston more populated, Dallas has suburbs and sub cities that are built up more. Dallas has a lot of western culture with a lil southern culture to it, Houston southern.
Sounds like you’ve got a solid handle on both cities! Houston definitely brings the flavor with the food and nightlife, but yeah, it’s got that gritty side too. And those hurricanes are no joke! Dallas does have that mix of western and southern culture-it’s a whole different vibe. Which city do you feel more connected to overall, now that you’ve spent time in both?
@@DallasRelocationGuide I got love for both, if it was up to me I would go back and forth to get the best of both worlds! As a young person trying to create generational wealth in the cooperate world of America, Dallas fasho. If you an entrepreneur and black, Houston, especially if you have a business in the nightlife or culinary industry.
Why does everyone act like Houston is the only humid city in Texas? Lol No matter if you’re in Dallas, Austin, or SA it’s going to be extremely hot and you’re going to sweat your butt off. Also, Houston is what you make it. You can live the family life or the party life. Love hearing other peoples perspectives though.
Houston is the shxt. Im 43 born and raised and anybody who is not from Houston can NEVER see the whole City and the surrounding suburbs bc ive always loved to ride for decades and im still discovering new communities and spots. Traffic is super bad at certain times of the day but if you know the city you can get around it. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I’ve been told raising a family is better in Dallas but I would definitely say food (versatility) and night life Houston is better. Shout out to the DFW.
where did you live in Dallas and Houston?? I’ve lived all over Dallas and on the Southside of Houston . I promise Dallas is so much faster. Houston is the capital of being slow lol they literally have songs about riding slow 😂
@@sjwilliams123 You've only lived in the South side of Houston. I've lived in Houston most of my life and lived in Dallas 5 years. Houston definitely faster, more crime/ghetto, more nightlife, everyone is always in a hurry everywhere you go and if you dont drive fast enough, you get shot at... and that's all over from Greenspoint aka "Gunspoint", to Sharpstown to Westheimer to Baybrook. Dallas was more calm in my opinion.
Houston people (which i know because i have family down there and lived out there) are friendly in a good way. They shop with you and are laid back. Dallas people are rude and aggressive lol I’m from the East side of Detroit and have lived a couple places on this beautiful Earth of ours.
I am leaving Texas altogether in January; but i was born and raised in Houston, Texas. So i am choosing Houston. Dallas is kinda boring to me. All my relatives stay out there but that still does not make it better. Houston all day for me. This the city that has made me.
I feel you-there’s nothing like your hometown! Houston definitely has its own special energy, and it sounds like it’s shaped a lot of who you are. I get that Dallas might not hit the same way for you, even with family there. Where are you headed after leaving Texas, and what’s making you take the leap?
Honestly it depends on what you are looking for, for one houston is much bigger than dallas( thats not including plano, mckinney, the colony etc) houston has culture, nightlife, entrepreneurship is even well in houston and depending on where you live you can get more for your buck when it comes to housing, houston renting wise is also cheaper than dallas. Dallas is great if you want to start a family, corporate America and if you're not into much of anything. I've lived in the city downtown/ kessler park/white rock are since moving to dallas and honestly those are the only areas that i would live in unless i purchase land. In the suburbs everything is the same such as concrete and no greenery,but they are building to where you dont have to come to the city. I think dallas is great place to live but if you want to have fun just travel! Oh and theres always of course someone in celebrity wise in dallas, and if you know the right people you will know to get into the elite clubs that they offer. Just my opinion
Of course it’s bias because you are in Dallas but I’m born and raised in Houston and we have more culture and diversity here which I love. Now I will say the culture of the city is changing due to social media! Everyone wants to come to party here clearly as individuals stated. But the guy that said it’s ghetto and it was a man behind his dumpster dead ummm where were you living sir? They have areas like that in Dallas as well. 🤷🏽♀️ Houston has successful jobs here too. I wouldn’t say Houston is cheaper at all.
Dallas, Dallas, Dallas. Everyone please come to Dallas everything is better. Crime is high in Houston, the traffic is horrible, and they’re breaking into new cars and leaving them on cinder blocks.
Relo'ed to North Dallas from Detroit in 2012. It was either there or Pearland as our two options to move to. I have family in Houston and been to it many times as a tourist. Here's my take. Dallas can be "hoity-toity" as Houston can be "hood" but when it comes to careers, if your in the tech field, Dallas is the spot. If you're in the medical field? Houston. When it comes to food, Houston is better. It was already good before Louisianans came due to Katrina, but after? It went up another level. Crime is every where so I won't speak on that however when it comes to dating, Dallas is safer, Houston is turning into Sodom and Gahmora. When it's comes to traffic. Dallas traffic is getting bad as far as congestion but Houston traffic is ridiculous due Fast and furious on the freeways. Living expense. It's cheaper in Houston. Weather. Flooding and hurricanes in houston and HUMIDITY! Dallas I Heat. Just straight dry heat.
@SynKyller Sodom and Gomorrah? I'm a Houston living GenXer and been married for 30 years. Has the dating here in Houston become that bad? I'm not part of that crowd but can you elaborate because I really don't see it.
I think it’s different strokes for different folks. The people that like to be in the streets all day everyday usually prefer Houston for the nightlife/club attractions, etc. No, Dallas is not huge on nightlife, but Dallas folks who live here and have friends have our spots and little places that we like to stick to for casual fun to end the night. I grew out of my partying phase quite fast so it’s not anything I feel like I’m missing out on. Last few times I went out in Houston it was cool, but other than good music and folks just standing around drinking, I’m not understanding what the big attraction is supposed to be. Dallas is more fast paced in a corporate/professional manner and things are always changing and developing. Houston does seems to have more of a traditional southern city feel and gives chill vibes. Houston folks gotta deal with them hurricanes and Dallas folks gotta deal with tornado. Both cities are very black, but Dallas by far is more segregated. Traffic is booty in both places, but Houston might be a little worse. Dallas is expensive, but living here in certain areas really does give a luxury feel. Even though I’m a Dallas girlie, I’m not a hater, I can fully admit that Houston has the food game in the bag above all Texas cities. I can’t remember a lot of times that I had bad food in Houston, even if the service was trash. Dallas food for the most parts leaves a lot to be desired, unless you go to the hood spots.
Houston is for culture (food, music, cars, nightlife)🤘🏽 Dallas is where the money at though and may be better for dating and raising a family.. Htown ain’t for everybody and we don’t want everybody either 😂🤷🏽♂️
Also, Dude says Houston cost of living is higher, and I don’t agree. I feel like Houston, when it comes to nice apartments, it’s a couple hundred dollars cheaper. I know this because I look at apartments all the time here, and it’s always cheaper than anything that I lived in while in Dallas.
You cannot go wrong moving to either Houston or Dallas. Yes, traffic is worst in Houston. The reason why Dallas wins is simple, it is the nicer cities that part of the Dallas metro area. Dallas has better public transportation and DFW has way safer, richer, newer, better looking suburbs or cities around Dallas (Frisco, Plano, West Lake, Southlake, Coppell, McKinney, Grapevine, Las Colinas etc). When you move to Dallas you don't just get Dallas. You get Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Frisco, Irving, Garland, Addison, Richardson, Grapevine, Westlake, Southlake, University Park, Highland Park, McKinney, etc. A lot more gorgeous cities are part of the DFW metro and that is where Dallas wins big time. That is the reason why Dallas wins, it is because Dallas has better suburbs/Cities around it. Both places are amazing, Houston and Dallas are like two of the best places the USA has to offer and two places that do not get enough credits for how amazing and beautiful they are
Houston definitely has a lot going for it! The diversity, food, and even being close to the beach are big wins for sure. And you can’t beat those trees! What’s your favorite spot in Houston to take it all in-the food, the nature, or just the vibe?
Clearly from my name I have a slight bias, but I lived in Both. Moved to Dallas for a better job, it was cool. But Dallas drivers are much crazier. They do what I call the “Dallas Special” when they get over 3 lanes all at once at the last minute”. Even had a driver hit me, stopped, then they hopped back in their car and ran off…I had to chase them to at least get their license”. Dallas ppl are a lot more rude than ppl in Houston. Dallas is also a bit more segregated as far as living areas. But Dallas does have some poppin’ spots. Jobs might be better in Dallas depending. I prefer Houston highways, but the homes and space is better in Dallas. But the vibe of Houston is better. Traffic continues to suck every day.
Houston - better city Dallas area - better suburbs Dallas is better for your career as they have more options due to a more diverse economy, more order and cleaner. Houston is better for social life with more diversity in people and culture. Both are more similar to each other than they are different. Both are hot but Dallas is slightly more drier resulting in higher temperatures. Houston is more humid, swampy, and rainy.
Them folks down in Houston rude af and ignorant. They have good food and nightlife, but the weather and people are just too much. Dallas is way better. I’ll even put Austin and San Antonio above Houston.
Haha, I feel you-Houston definitely has its moments with the heat and some not-so-friendly encounters. But yeah, the food and nightlife are hard to beat! Dallas does have a different vibe for sure. What is it about Dallas that makes it stand out over the other Texas cities for you?
@@DallasRelocationGuide I think Dallas just has a little bit of everything. It kind of feels like a more spread out version of NYC to me. Austin just seems too boring too me and it doesn’t have that big city feel. I absolutely love San Antonio honestly. I just don’t think there’s as much to do there, but I love the culture down there. When people in Houston find out you’re from or you live in Dallas they act a lil different.
I’m from Houston and yes I agree. Houstonians are too proud of their city to see past their own noses. Everyone just uses ignorance and pride. They literally believe they are the best city in the world 😂
@@ThegreenRuler …OMG…I live in Houston too, and they are so annoying when comes to that. The pride for the city makes them delusional to certain facts about it. This is a unique cool city, but it’s far from the best.
But I will say this, Dallas is definitely more urban, concrete jungle, fast paced, upscale type of city. Whereas Houston’s more laid back, chill, and very southern feel
@@DallasRelocationGuide definitely Dallas. Dallas reminds me a lot of LA. As far as geographical layout goes. Each city in the metroplex has its own vibe and culture and they don’t identify themselves with Dallas. So it really helps Dallas stand out. Dallas has better transportation and it’s cleaner than Houston. The economy thrives more than Houston and it’s plenty diverse. There’s also just more entertainment options in Dallas
@@KingAsa5 You definitely haven't been to Houston. First off, Houston is almost double the size of Dallas in square miles, even Downtown Houston is larger than Downtown Dallas and that's just one area
That’s awesome! Both Houston and Dallas offer a lot, especially if you're coming from a place like Toronto. It really just depends on what kind of lifestyle you’re looking for-Houston has that coastal, laid-back vibe, while Dallas has more of a metropolitan feel with great neighborhoods. What are the top things you're looking for in a city when considering the move?
@@DallasRelocationGuide diversity,good payin jobs and opportunities,not lots of crime etc spring and katy i heard are good neighborhoods in houston..i'm black so i want more black friendly city
I think if you’re in finance, Dallas is the place to be. If you’re in the oil realm of things, Houston. Dallas is more appealing than Houston as far as living…San Antonio meets you in the middle.
Haha, man, I feel you! Houston traffic is on a whole other level sometimes-it can really test your patience. Dallas has its moments too, but Houston definitely takes the cake when it comes to crazy roads. What’s your go-to strategy for surviving that Houston traffic?
Haha, sounds like you’ve found the perfect balance-keeping it conservative in Dallas but heading to Houston when you want to have a good time! What’s your go-to spot in Houston when you’re looking for that fun vibe?

Dallas pays me.
Houston makes me spend my money.
I live in Dallas due to career.
Love going to Houston for the weekend
This was helpful for my search thank you.
I agree!
The only thing that matters! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Dallas is more cosmopolitan and has it good and bad places. It definitely depends upon one's perspective and location.
You must be country and like ratchet shii
The guy and girl who said that Dallas has the better food and agreed that Dallas has the worst traffic proved to me they don’t know what they are talking about. Born and raised in Texas and I have lived in the DFW for years and have visited Houston multiple times. Houston is absolutely more diverse in the food and has horrific traffic. The man who said traffic in Houston lasts the whole day is not lying.
Yeah I’m from Dallas and frequent Houston for family and friends. I’d say Dallas traffic has definitely gotten worse than Houston’s over the last few years
Facts. The traffic here in Houston is terrible. Honestly, the traffic used to be easy back in the day. Houston has changed a great deal since 2010. The majority of the people are not from here, but I still love my city.
Dallas managed to claim the reputation of worst slave patrol cops in America from Alabama whis is impressive as shit considering the time frame.
Yes Dallas is a better place to live and i'm from Houston!
I'm from Louisiana. Lived in Houston and now in Dallas.

@@BellaKayeLLard and... what's better?
@@BounceBackBlaze I prefer Dallas for myself at the stage I'm in.❤️
I prefer Dallas over Houston and will be relocating to Dallas next year "2025"🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I lived in both and love both for different reasons. Dallas is better for weather, jobs, overall clealiness, and things to do outside just partying. Houston feels more cultured, more fun, better food, and more affordable. Houston is on the up but Dallas is still far enough ahead in my opinion. And Dallas food is really good but Houston is just top tier with the food
Sounds like you’ve found the best of both worlds in each city! I totally agree-Dallas is great for jobs and staying active outside of the party scene, but Houston’s got that culture and next-level food. It’s hard to top the food in H-Town, for sure! What do you think it would take for Houston to close the gap with Dallas in areas like jobs and overall growth?
@@DallasRelocationGuide You may not like this but it's the truth. Houston is not as appealing to white folks as Dallas is so it will always be a step behind to Dallas. And actually for many years Houston was further behind than it is now to Dallas so progress has been made but it won't ever beat Dallas. Also Houston weather, air quality, and flooding is another huge negative. Dallas is the most appealing city in Texas to all races regardless if people agree with it or not. The facts speak to that. It's been the fastest growing metro area in the state since forever in every metric
@@1986-e3s LOL. Not everybody is a rapper. But I agree Houston is better for rappers
Houston food sucs
I’m from Miami And one thing I love abt Houston is tht certain parts will have you feeling like your in Beverly Hills on rodeo dr or even back home on ocean dr you’ll get tht tropical feel w/ all the palm 🌴 here Especially in highland village I’ve been to Dallas and it just doesn’t do it for me Houston feels More like home away from home!!!
Yes! When you’re driving through Highland Village at night time and it’s all lit up!
yeah if youve never lived in L.A . Idc how many palm trees there is, that humidity does not exist in Beverly Hills.
@@DaxSmokax Absolutely not but in the cooler months of the year it gives that allusion
@@storyofmylife7080 without the mountains right in your face? Maybe for people who aren't from L.A it does
@@DaxSmokax bro relax lol we know it’s not exactly the same 😂🤦🏾♂️
Houston is the more iconic city for many different reasons.
I currently live in Dallas, been here for nine years, lived in Houston it’s honestly becoming like Atlanta 2.0 , From economic standpoint Business is much better in Dallas. I wouldn’t move back to Houston the weather is hotter. Dallas is just better for me.
What do you mean hstn is like atl 2.0 pls?😊
@@Luv_2P gang culture
Living wise because of the houses/family lifestyle i choose Dallas, but i love Houston more than Dallas. It's more Southern Hospitality, and the food is better. The night life is wayyy better in Houston.
Hey, thanks for giving your input. In your opinion, which place is hotter?
Wayyyyy better night life!
Houston for culture and Dallas for corporate/settling in a nice neighborhood. The strength of Houston is in the city while the strength of Dallas/DFW tends to be in the suburbs which makes Houston the more urban option of the two. Heat is not as humid in Dallas. Both areas are super diverse whereas Houston is more of a melting pot (to me) while Dallas is more like a salad. Houston also has bigger brand universities located within the city of Houston (Rice/TSU/U of H).
❤and texas a&m
All very accurately stated. Although North Texas U., TCU, and SMU arent too shabby either. (I realize these arent all inside the city of Dallas proper, but theyre usually still considered part of the MSA)
@@SuperHtownswag Texas a&m is not in the Houston metro.
Houston is not more urban that Dallas tho.
@@davisboy09 calling Dallas a salad compared to Houston is the most accurate/funny/shady thing that I’ve ever heard 🤣 i love it
Over the years I feel like Dallas traffic has gotten worse than Houston’s… I live in Houston, and I can get around as long as I avoid the peak hours and certain highways. In Dallas during peak traffic hours, It’s horrible even if you try to take the back roads. In Houston I can take certain back roads and be fine because they have more streets you can take to avoid.
Agreed
I drive for a living. My reasoning for that is two things. Half of Dallas freeways are freaking tolls and the other half are always under construction. It's almost never a smooth drive anywhere in dallas
I lived in dallas/plano and Houston. I like both but i prefer Houston. People say its ghetto it may appear that way in areas. When you live here you find out where the good areas are and there are plenty!
Ok you’ve been all over. What was it that made you leave the Plano area?
@DallasRelocationGuide I just always preferred the houston area I'm originally from oklahoma so I've been to dfw several times and found houston area something new to what I'm used to. I like dfw my fav city would be plano or frisco legacy area also Addison area
Plano is Collin county not Dallas county . Just making sure people understand that because the city of Dallas is nothing like Plano, Addison and Denton.
@sjwilliams123 I wouldn't say nothing alike but yes plano has differences and is in Collin county. Garland is in dallas County and I think it's a difference between it and Dallas but all these cities and suburbs run into each other
@@mooneymoney7484 if you lived in the city of Dallas which consists of Oak Cliff, Pleasant Grove, South Dallas , East Dallas, West Dallas or North Dallas and you move to Plano , Denton you will understand what i’m saying.
I’m considering moving to Dallas…so this was helpful!
Yea I’m not from Texas but lived there 10 years. I lived close to Austin and in Dallas…and visited Houston . I like dallas is the best
As a Houstonanian, Dallas is the better of the two. I’m planning on moving there myself.
❤❤❤Dallas 💵✌️
I live in the DFW area and think Dallas is a better because the transit is much better in Dallas then Houston. Dallas have a longer rail system to travel within the surrounding area. Houston is limited and i am surprise since Houston is better. Dallas have more business moving here and the school system is much better then Houston.
Houston cost of living is slightly cheaper then Dallas in comparison.
Houston have flooding from storms or hurricanes. Dallas have flooding but not often.
Crime is everywhere but Houston crime is a little more worst then Dallas.
Bing!
That’s a lie there’s crime in both cities but Dallas ever since 70’s has been more crime.
Dude these types of videos are amazing. You should do more videos like this. One question I would've asked is "whose skyline is better" lol.
Ah man that would have been a great question. Thanks for that idea! Do you live in Dallas or Houston
@@DallasRelocationGuide I live in Dallas but I have respect for Houston. Both cities are great in their own right.
Dallas downtown the same size as Houston's Medical Center
My fiancé and I are thinking about about moving to Texas. Thanks for this video!!
Absolutely, reach out to us when your ready to come up with the gameplan!
I grew up visiting family in both (all areas in the two cities) and now have lived in both about 5 years a piece through my 30's into my early 40's. From my experience Dallas is more family and 'I'm done with the night life' leaning. There are some nice spots for Black folks, but nowhere near as many as Houston. Even my cousins that visit from Dallas say Houston is 'nonstop' 😂. They come here to Houston to 'cut up'...As for H-town, it's more for the folks that aren't thinking anything about a family for the most part. Strictly making money (Hustle City USA) in many ways especially the medical and energy industries and thoroughly enjoying the night life (work hard, play hard). Houston starts partying on Wednesday and doesn't stop until Sunday Funday is over. You can close your eyes and throw a rock and hit a Black owned restaurant and or bar and lounge in Houston and meet folks from all over the social spectrum. Just my experiences of the two cities. Glad to be back in Houston. Musically and culturally, Houston is to Texas as Atlanta is to Georgia or NY to the East Coast. And yes, the food here is ridiculous 💯 Maaaayyyyyyynnnnnneeeee! ✌🏿😂
Haha, I love how you put that-Houston really is “Hustle City USA!” It sounds like you’ve got a solid perspective on both cities after living in each for a good chunk of time. Houston definitely has that nonstop vibe, and I can see why people would come to cut loose! The food, the culture, the music-it’s all next level. What do you think keeps you most connected to Houston compared to Dallas, especially now that you’re back?
@@DallasRelocationGuide Yes indeed. I work as an engineer in the oil and gas industry so that's the number 1 reason I'm here. Socially, when I do decide to cut up, it's like being in the 'Chunk Up the Deuce' , 'Still Tippin' , any UGK, Devin the Dude, or Scarface song video shoot. 😂 Also, folks that are from Houston tend to be very down to earth no matter how much money they have or their status.
As a Houstonian, nah. Dallas is just enough for me.
The black population may be the exact same as Houston but it’s balanced.
In Houston, the black population is all clustered into the western half of the metro area. And most black neighborhoods are low income (I’m black and I’m from Houston)
But in DFW the black population is spread out into clusters across the metro area and some are wealthy black neighborhoods and some aren’t
I'm from Florida. I moved to Houston 3.5 years ago. If you move to Houston, live on the outskirts. Living inside the loop is very active and can get sketchy. Also, Houston's infrastructure is very weird so be careful where you live or buy a home. The flooding can be crazy.
Well go back to Florida. Tf
Where in FL do you come from? Are there a lot of crimes?
I’m from Houston born and raised only been to Dallas to visit. I believe it’s subjective depending on what your lifestyle entails and what all are you into .
AGREED!!
Facts. I'm from Houston, and our city is changing. Traffic is getting worse each year, and the majority of the people are not from here anymore. Times are changing.
Totally agree-it all comes down to what you’re looking for! Both cities have something different to offer depending on your vibe and lifestyle. What’s something about Houston that really matches your lifestyle and makes it feel like home?
Great analysis of Dallas vs Houston. Thanks for sharing this information!
Hey, thanks a ton! Always a blast talking about the Dallas vs Houston showdown! You been thinking about moving to one or the other?
Which one is better for entrepreneurs and business networking?
DALLAS🔥
I luh Houston Texas it’s home for me and mine ❤🤍💙 Dallas has pretty modern architecture and I love the nature of Houston (I’m from Georgia)
I'm always watching your videos but I never really comment. However, I'm going with Dallas. Dallas does have hospitality at least I've always felt that way when visiting. In over 20yrs of being back and forth by car and plane visiting I've never had issues in the DFW. People or food wise. I'm going to eventually move there. I like the burbs there in comparison to the KansasCity,MO area. Houston is cheaper in some ways, but it is a little ghetto. There's things that happen in both cities but driving wise I'm choosing Dallas. The one thing I wish would happen for Dallas is that they clean up South Dallas. It could be better than what it is.
Man, appreciate you taking the time. For some of the newcomers to the Channel what suburb would you recommend for them?
@DallasRelocationGuide Rockwall and Garland are definitely areas to look into. When I was there in February, I was able to check out more of the Irving area, and I feel it still has some more potential. I haven't seen Arlington in a while it feels too far out, lol. Now, recently, I've wanted to check out the Carrollton area. So hopefully, next time I'm down that way, I'll be able to do so. The Eullus area may be an area for me to check out as well, but my whole thing is for someone like myself, I prefer to be near the airports when I move. Right now I'm about 50min from the airport in KC and it's annoying. If I need to fly to Chicago. KC or out East once I move, I'm going to want that convenience. Driving from South KC to North KC is literally like driving from Dallas to Arlington or Fort Worth
@JustRoTv80 I am born and raised in DFW. I would like to help you out. I used to live in Rockwall. It was very boring and if the is an accident you a stuck due to the bridge. N. Garland only. I currently live in Denton County and I am less than 10 mins from the airport. Check out Grapevine, Lewisville, The Colony, Addison, Euless, Carrollton and very last Irving unless it's the Valley Ranch/Las Colinas area.
S. Dallas (the fair park area) is being gentrified but all the areas I mention will put you very close to the DFW airport but maybe 25 mins from Love Field airport.
Shout-out to the VA dude and all Virginians that have relocated to TX!!!!
Houston is cool BUT Dallas is sooo much better! I lived in Houston for 7 months from NJ and moved back to NJ. I did not like it and a few years later moved to Dallas and stayed. It's been 10 years now! This is only my opinion!

in my opinion i think Dallas is better because u have everything u need here Nightlife oppurtunities ect also I like Cold weather and in houston it stays warm all year round while in Dallas it Snows and has nice Cool Fall seasons🍁
Unfortunately, Houston used to be a quiet city, wasn't a party city. My city has become a college city. The traffic has gotten worse, and the crime is terrible. Dallas is quiet, and has less crime. The food is better here in Houston, but Dallas is nice. I'm from Houston, and love my city, but the problems are getting worse.
I hear you-Houston has definitely changed a lot over the years, especially with the growth and all the college life happening now. The traffic and crime are tough, but Houston still has that amazing food scene going for it! Dallas does have a quieter vibe in comparison, for sure. What do you think could help Houston get back some of that quieter, less hectic feel it used to have?
You've must've never been to Kappa Beach Party, Richmond Strip in the 80s and 90s or went downtown during in the early 2000s. Houston [and Dallas] honestly have historically been party cities. Dallas was HUGE in the rave scene and Deep Ellum was the place to be.
I haven’t watched the whole video yet but I wanted to say, Houston is more for the Younger (18-34) crowd. Dallas is more for when you actually grow up(35 and up). I’m 47 and lived in Atlanta for 10 years right after college. Trust me when I say you grow out of the club/lounge scene! I moved to Dallas when I was 34. Don’t get me wrong, I still like a nice lounge and going out from time to time. You can absolutely get it in in Dallas. It’s just not known as a “party city”. That just the nightlife area. Dallas beats it in all other areas!
I definitely agree. I feel the same way about ATL. Which part of Dallas do you live in?
@@DallasRelocationGuide we live in the Frisco area. We have investment properties all over Texas and in Florida, but we’ll be hitting your team up about east metro Dallas. Specifically Forney area. I see a lot of opportunity out there!

Bruh your videos are SO helpful! I’m planning to move from Illinois to Houston in the next few weeks. But now I gotta take a trip to both cities to see for myself how I like it. Houston attracts me more because I hear it’s a more youthful crowd, more black people and better food. But Dallas attracts me too cuz it’s not as humid, better corporate opportunities and little cleaner and safer. I’m torn between the two!🤦🏽♂️im employed, single male with no kids and ready to find THE ONE and im leaning towards Houston because of the night life too… 😩I gotta visit
Both are good choices for you, If you are wanting more of the nightlife Id say Houston has Dallas Beat. If your looking for the One, Id say Dallas would be your best bet
@@DallasRelocationGuideThank you !

Imo Dallas is actually more of a concrete jungle, fast paced, hustler city and houston is more deep southern hospitality, by the swamp, traditional texas city
Thanks for that input. What about the biggest difference for you?
@@DallasRelocationGuide Houston area at least has palm trees and a beach… but a ugly one with brown water lol i prefer Dallas
Houston is definitely more of a concrete jungle
You must have not been here recently. It's definitely a concrete jungle as well.
@@tx_7134it’s Dallas by far. Dallas has the density. Houston doesn’t
I've lived in both cities..at first I thought Houston was better because of the diversity of people, better food, and it seemed faster but over the years, Dallas has REALLY picked up in growth and offer just as much as Houston or more. Dallas metroplex is better, (Arlington with Six Flags, Frisco etc.) looks, kept better as far as appearance in roads, landscaping and everything nationally comes through Dallas as far as entertainment, better Fine Arts, State Fair is better compared to Houston's Rodeo, and Dallas easily has the best metro rail system in Texas. Houses are cheaper in Houston but my house here in Dallas has also doubled in value because of the growth. Dallas pretty much see all 4 seasons and Houston constantly has floods and hurricane weather. Dallas wins hands down for me, but I still like Houston, though.
Sounds like you’ve seen both cities evolve over time! Dallas really has stepped up with growth, and you're right-there’s so much happening now, from entertainment to the fine arts, and that State Fair is hard to beat. Plus, the weather in Dallas is definitely more balanced compared to Houston’s crazy floods and hurricanes. What do you think has been the biggest change in Dallas that made you lean more in its favor over the years?
@@DallasRelocationGuide The biggest change to me seems to be the growth of people and companies coming to North Texas. People will follow where the jobs are. Gentrification has also played a part in the revitalization of some areas in Dallas as well that has brought new shops, restaurants, new people in the city and a younger crowd. (Trinity Groves area, Deep Ellum, Bishop Arts, Lower Greenville comes to mind. The Midpark (formerly Valley View) project will be the icing on the cake if they can ever get it going). Overall, I'm BEYOND glad that I purchased a home early near the "high 5" area in North Dallas at an unbelievable price (and low interest rate) in 2014 before the boom started and I like the direction that our city is going as well.
I like Houston better, there is more to do. Dallas is less drama.
I'm a Houstonian and miss Dallas terribly. I'd go back in a minute if I could. Houston has the highest rate of road rage in the country
I lived in Dallas. Texas is my favorite state and plan on returning soon 🙏🏾
That’s awesome! Texas has a way of pulling people back, doesn’t it? There’s just something special about it. What’s the main thing you’re looking forward to when you make your way back to the Lone Star State?
@@DallasRelocationGuideIt’s the culture and community for me. I always found it easy to meet new people out there vs places like NYC, PHILLY, and ATLANTA. Plus it’s good food too
As a Dallas native I agree with him about sweet georgia brown.
I love your videos! They are so informative and you talk to real people from various backgrounds. I have lived in Dallas for 8 years now, and it's been great overall. I've never visited Houston, but I've always been curious about how it is to live there. From what I know now and due to some not-so-great stats that have come out about Houston. I would visit only!
Awesome! Where did you move in from?
Gotta do part 2 in Houston
Ion know, I sense some bias tailored answers. I'm from cali but live in Houston, I drive Uber, and I pick up people from Dallas often that's here to party, and they give me a different perspective. Few have even said they're moving here cause it's cheaper with a better social life and a taste of every different culture you want to experience. Houston is hotter than Dallas but that just makes for better winters for those of us that like to be OUTSIDE in my opinion.
Houston is easy to move from one side of the city to the other. Even though it’s congested now but suburbs still feel like the city. Best restaurants & social spots.
Dallas is nice and very beautiful homes. It’s like a mini LA in my opinion, tons of amenities. Day party, family friendly places, downtown is nice.
So i have lived in both , city to city , Houston is better but suburb to suburbs DFW wins its no comparison.
Id have to agree with you on the suburb part. Which suburb is the best one to you around Dallas?
@@DallasRelocationGuide
So many , Frisco, the Colony and Allen and Las Colinas .
But the video is about Houston or Dallas, not its suburbs. Houston is better.
@@walter23497
I would agree but DFW is unique because 4 of its suburbs have a population exceeding 275K, with two exceeding 500 K Fort Worth is almost the size of Dallas and growing more quickly.
This was a good video and thank the dmv guy for saying “US” bc diversity is different and can mean a lot of things
Thanks so much, I’m glad you liked the video! And yeah, that’s a great point-diversity can mean so many different things depending on where you are and who you’re talking to. What kind of diversity do you think makes the biggest difference in a city’s vibe or culture?
It ALL sucks. All these folks moving here from the West-coast, Midwest, East-coast are messing up southern hospitality. Huntsville, AL is where it’s at. I’ve been living in Dallas since 2008…and it’s been whack.
Yes it's almost unbearable. The traffic, overcrowding, extremely hot summers and don't even get me started on how bad the drivers are. I ended up moving to Kansas and it is a lot more peaceful, I just miss my friends and family a lot.
Huntsville is one of the best kept secrets in the country... Amazing small city.
Both cities have pros and cons. Everyone is saying Houston has night life and Dallas is more family oriented. That’s what I like about Houston is if you get tired of that night life there is also room for family. Everybody that live in Houston is not just about partying. There’s family oriented people here as well. The only con here is hurricane season and traffic. Dallas traffic is worse always has been. I’m from Houston but was raised in Colorado and every time I use to visit from Colorado we would stop and visit relatives in Forth Worth, and Dallas on our way to Houston. Dallas highways has always been worser than Houston your highways are narrow and you have a bunch of mousetraps on your highways. Colorado got rid of a bunch of mousetraps on their highways because of all the accidents. Dallas whether you like it or not will always be that concrete jungle because you barely have green there or trees. Houston is more tropical so it just depends at the end of the day what you looking for. Far as whose a faster pace can’t really say because Houston done changed so much it’s a melting pot people moving here from all over you got fast and slow so it don’t matter when it comes to Houston it just depends on what you getting into at this point. There’s something to do for everybody fast or slow. But it all depends of what you’re looking for.
I’m from Houston but I moved to DFW back in March. Honestly i thought Dallas would be better but I was wrong. I actually think it’s worse up here than down there. The traffic is worse. Everyone has an attitude. People don’t speak here. The racism is worse than Houston. The way people drive up here scares me.. they drive like they don’t care for human life. Houston is cheaper. I had a one bedroom back in Houston for only $800 a month. I have now a one bedroom up here in Dallas Fort Worth and I’m paying $1250 a month. It’s ridiculous. I miss Houston. Definitely thinking of moving back
Did you move to the City of Dallas or to the suburbs. It’s two different things.
Racism?? what part of Dallas are you in that’s racist?? The city of Dallas is mostly black so that’s hard to believe.
@@1TewBuMyShoeEven the suburbs of Dallas is black like Cedar Hill, Desoto, Lancaster, Duncanville. The suburbs of Richardson and plano might be like that but i think it’s a lot of Brothers out there also.
@@sjwilliams123 Yep, that’s why I like for ppl to be specific. They say DFW Area but may live 45 mins from The City of Dallas in Denton. The City of Dallas and Dallas County suburbs - like DeSoto, Cedar Hill, Lancaster, Duncanville, etc feel and look different from other places across The Metroplex. DeSoto is the wealthiest black suburb in Texas.
@@1TewBuMyShoe Exactly, a lot of people be confused.
If you live in dallas how do you not go visit houston!!!
I was thinking the same!!!
Vice Versa
Easy as soon as you get to Houston they have a nasty attitude towards anyone from DFW
It’s a one-sided rivalry of houstonians hating Dallasites. Also, nobody is going to voluntarily visit the armpit to party unless they got business to attend to too.
@@danielhernandez7922 exactly very well written
when he mentioned lower greenville. thats the spot!
I live in Houston, and I am not that amazed by the food here. I ate better in the DFW area when I lived there. But hey it’s all opinions at the end of the Day. I low key miss certain things about Dallas like the cleanliness of the city and the amenities. I like Houston though.
Yes, I moved from Austin to Houston. I miss the cleanliness of Austin. I like living in Houston better than Austin. Dallas seems cool too though.
What would you say are the best black owned spots in Houston? Plan on making a trip there
Go to gotti's it's a black owned restaurant. Best time to go is on Sunday's cuz they have a Brunch and they play live music. If u go by yourself there is no bar just tables sit and eat. Vibes are nice there. Overall I would rate it 9/10.
@Ragnarokstorymaker Two Black Owned Spots I've Enjoyed Frequently While Visiting Houston Were Turkey Leg Hut And Frenchy's Chicken-The Location Close To University Of Houston!
@@BD_1437yep Gottis, Bungalow or Chapman and Kirby
I'm from Houston, Texas. It is best that you enjoy our Black Wall Street, which is located off Emancipation in the Historical 3rd Ward. There are many Black Owned Businesses on that street. Gentrification is hurting people all over the country, but Emancipation is still holding on. Enjoy!!!!
Have you been to Dallas and Houston there both concrete jungles and both populations continues to grow their both going to need a serious Transit system.
Yea and Im not sure if they are going to get it. We will see. Have you seen the articles about the high speed rail system?
Dallas has the fast and more efficient life. Houston is pretty chill and cheaper, but the people are a little rude and have no manners in Houston
ah you gotta elaborate on this one!
Houston has a much worse k-12 system, alot more illegals who are new to driving, houston has more people with prior criminal records out on the streets (houston has long been known as a place to "hide" or "getaway" from something), its easier for a person who is undereducated etc to luck into a decent paying blue collar job here in houston than the dfw@DallasRelocationGuide
Agreed. Sweet Georgia Brown isn't good. However, Mama's Creole Kitchen in North Dallas is EVERYTHING. Thank me later.
So good! Any other recommendations?
I grew up in H-town, it's not a bad place. It's great for jobs, I live in Southwest Florida today
I’m definitely considering Dallas
Let us know if we can help. Which areas have you been researching?
Yes go to Dallas! We full in houston
@@entertainmentandvibes6276 Haha 😃 okay! I hear you 😀

Thank you!
This was like asking which hand do you like better, your left or your right. Which one feels better?
Hey details matter in life… difference between winning and losing
The vibe in Dallas is separated to a degree by race and the way some think of you ,,,I experience hate comments and how some talk down on you in Dallas ,,,,no joke read people and you will see how some really feel about you patrioticly
I’m not from either. However, I’ve lived in both.
Dallas is more career and family friendly, with less traffic.💯Trains are an option for work if necessary.
Houston is fun, friendlier, diverse, great food with horrible traffic.
🌟They’re both nice, but it’s a matter of preference.
Statistically crime is higher than Dallas. All the "Houston is ghetto" is code for "there is actual Black culture that thrives in Houston." Dallas is such a stiff and white washed city and the home of the "30 thousand dollar millionaire." People pretending be super rich when they are just every day working class people like everyone else.
Houston is bigger, more culture, better food, more events, better nightlife, has a beach, better sports culture, better higher ed institutions, and despite what Dallas may think there are more lucrative industries in Houston too with the world's leading medical center, energy, the port of Houston, aerospace, construction, the arts, and more fortune 500 companies.
Both are hot, both can flood, Houston more prone to hurricanes and Dallad to Tornadoes and ice storms. Houston is also cheaper.
There's literally zero reason to say Dallas is better. Zero.
Houston crime is higher than Dallas.... we're actually about to leave next year because of this. I love the culture, but gunshots every day and night, no matter where you live, is kind of crazy, and just as the other commenters said, you can live in a nice apt complex and have your door kicked in and have to pray your car is still there when you wake up. Gang activity is out of control.. plus A LOT of Atlanta, Chicago, and Detroit people have moved here.... not to say they're to blame, I don't want people coming for me, but you can research on google, Houston has higher crime rate than Dallas
Its not "code" for anything...what youre calling "black" culture is a ghetto cultural rot that has set in in Houston. Dallas is not just a stiffer whiter city, its also more orderly. Call it what u want, but Houston feels chaotic, and in many parts it IS chaotic.
Houston doesnt have a beach either. Galveston does. And Houston has more Fortune 500 businesses than Dallas, but DFW as a whole has more Fortune 500 businesses than the Houston metro.
White washed? How so? I’m from Houston and Dallas is predominantly black and Hispanic.
You can’t hide the fact Houston’s just ghetto. That’s what it is. Ghetto.
Hosuton hasn’t had a theme park in years.
Dallas is bigger in every way. And that’s just a fact. Hosuton has food and culture but that’s it

Parkland baby here ... I love Dallas, but Houston aura is different in a good way
Parkland baby, I see you! Dallas definitely has a lot of love, but yeah, Houston’s vibe hits differently, doesn’t it? There’s just something about the energy in H-Town. What’s your favorite thing about Houston’s aura that stands out to you?
@DallasRelocationGuide I'm infatuated with the slab culture and music like S.U.C and Swishahouse, just the whole DJ Screw essence. Last but not least, there's a lot of black owned food places that have great eateries ..so please try the food it's worth it
Houston feels much blacker.
Yeah, I totally get what you mean! Houston definitely has a strong Black culture and presence that’s felt all throughout the city-from the food, music, and just the overall vibe. What parts of the city do you think really highlight that the most?
@@DallasRelocationGuide It depends. Black folks are all over. Third Ward for starters.
@@LUVINAAMUit’s gentrified my people from there
No not at all ask anyone that lives in the city of Dallas . DisD schools are 90% black even the outside cities like Cedar Hill, Duncanville, Desoto , Lancaster , and even Red Oak are black suburbs .
@@goldenchoppa3780I'm from Houston. Gentrification is changing Houston from Fifth Ward to Third Ward. People are moving in, and don't know a thing about Houston. The prices for property are going up, so true Houston folks are moving. Houston isn't the same city, and half of the people aren't from the Souf.
I lived in both and I’m currently in Houston now. Dallas has more corporate opportunity, Houston has better food and nightlife. Houston more gritty & ghetto, but parts of Dallas be flaming shi too in certain parts. Houston got hurricanes and tornadoes, Dallas only got tornadoes. Houston more populated, Dallas has suburbs and sub cities that are built up more. Dallas has a lot of western culture with a lil southern culture to it, Houston southern.
Sounds like you’ve got a solid handle on both cities! Houston definitely brings the flavor with the food and nightlife, but yeah, it’s got that gritty side too. And those hurricanes are no joke! Dallas does have that mix of western and southern culture-it’s a whole different vibe. Which city do you feel more connected to overall, now that you’ve spent time in both?
@@DallasRelocationGuide I got love for both, if it was up to me I would go back and forth to get the best of both worlds! As a young person trying to create generational wealth in the cooperate world of America, Dallas fasho. If you an entrepreneur and black, Houston, especially if you have a business in the nightlife or culinary industry.
I like this comment
@@QuellthathittaI agree
Why does everyone act like Houston is the only humid city in Texas? Lol
No matter if you’re in Dallas, Austin, or SA it’s going to be extremely hot and you’re going to sweat your butt off. Also, Houston is what you make it. You can live the family life or the party life. Love hearing other peoples perspectives though.
Houston is the shxt. Im 43 born and raised and anybody who is not from Houston can NEVER see the whole City and the surrounding suburbs bc ive always loved to ride for decades and im still discovering new communities and spots. Traffic is super bad at certain times of the day but if you know the city you can get around it. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
😂😂 this has to be the most Houstonian comment ever🤦♂️
As a Houstonian who’s been outside of Houston I can say, there’s much much better
@@ThegreenRuler I been out of Houston too. We comparing Dallas
I’ve been told raising a family is better in Dallas but I would definitely say food (versatility) and night life Houston is better. Shout out to the DFW.
What about San Antonio?
I live in San Antonio but have lived in both Houston and Dallas and imo Dallas is a much better city. Just a better vibe.
Dallas is slow pace & chill Houston is fast pace because of so much of the variety
where did you live in Dallas and Houston?? I’ve lived all over Dallas and on the Southside of Houston . I promise Dallas is so much faster. Houston is the capital of being slow lol they literally have songs about riding slow 😂
@@sjwilliams123 You've only lived in the South side of Houston. I've lived in Houston most of my life and lived in Dallas 5 years. Houston definitely faster, more crime/ghetto, more nightlife, everyone is always in a hurry everywhere you go and if you dont drive fast enough, you get shot at... and that's all over from Greenspoint aka "Gunspoint", to Sharpstown to Westheimer to Baybrook. Dallas was more calm in my opinion.
@@berriesandcream85 what part of dallas did you stay? What year?
Houston people (which i know because i have family down there and lived out there) are friendly in a good way. They shop with you and are laid back. Dallas people are rude and aggressive lol I’m from the East side of Detroit and have lived a couple places on this beautiful Earth of ours.

Good video bro.. planning on making my move late 2025/early 2026 from Detroit to DFW
Bro if you move to Dallas you will ever leave,Dallas has cheap land
I am leaving Texas altogether in January; but i was born and raised in Houston, Texas. So i am choosing Houston.
Dallas is kinda boring to me. All my relatives stay out there but that still does not make it better.
Houston all day for me. This the city that has made me.
Where are you relocating to?
I feel you-there’s nothing like your hometown! Houston definitely has its own special energy, and it sounds like it’s shaped a lot of who you are. I get that Dallas might not hit the same way for you, even with family there. Where are you headed after leaving Texas, and what’s making you take the leap?
Honestly it depends on what you are looking for, for one houston is much bigger than dallas( thats not including plano, mckinney, the colony etc) houston has culture, nightlife, entrepreneurship is even well in houston and depending on where you live you can get more for your buck when it comes to housing, houston renting wise is also cheaper than dallas. Dallas is great if you want to start a family, corporate America and if you're not into much of anything. I've lived in the city downtown/ kessler park/white rock are since moving to dallas and honestly those are the only areas that i would live in unless i purchase land. In the suburbs everything is the same such as concrete and no greenery,but they are building to where you dont have to come to the city. I think dallas is great place to live but if you want to have fun just travel! Oh and theres always of course someone in celebrity wise in dallas, and if you know the right people you will know to get into the elite clubs that they offer. Just my opinion
Of course it’s bias because you are in Dallas but I’m born and raised in Houston and we have more culture and diversity here which I love. Now I will say the culture of the city is changing due to social media! Everyone wants to come to party here clearly as individuals stated. But the guy that said it’s ghetto and it was a man behind his dumpster dead ummm where were you living sir? They have areas like that in Dallas as well. 🤷🏽♀️ Houston has successful jobs here too. I wouldn’t say Houston is cheaper at all.
I moved from FL to Houston during the pandemic.. I agree it’s veryyy ghetto lol. Now I live in Frisco 😂
Dallas, Dallas, Dallas. Everyone please come to Dallas everything is better. Crime is high in Houston, the traffic is horrible, and they’re breaking into new cars and leaving them on cinder blocks.
🤦🏽♂️😂
Dallas has no culture it’s like unseasoned chicken 😂
Nah, Houston is overall better. Dallas is cool.
in cinder blocks!?

This video was amazing.
Thanks for tuning in!
I've NEVER Been to Dallas, Where should we stay when we visit? Thanks in advance
Omni
Relo'ed to North Dallas from Detroit in 2012. It was either there or Pearland as our two options to move to. I have family in Houston and been to it many times as a tourist. Here's my take. Dallas can be "hoity-toity" as Houston can be "hood" but when it comes to careers, if your in the tech field, Dallas is the spot. If you're in the medical field? Houston.
When it comes to food, Houston is better. It was already good before Louisianans came due to Katrina, but after? It went up another level.
Crime is every where so I won't speak on that however when it comes to dating, Dallas is safer, Houston is turning into Sodom and Gahmora. When it's comes to traffic. Dallas traffic is getting bad as far as congestion but Houston traffic is ridiculous due Fast and furious on the freeways. Living expense. It's cheaper in Houston. Weather. Flooding and hurricanes in houston and HUMIDITY! Dallas I Heat. Just straight dry heat.
@SynKyller Sodom and Gomorrah? I'm a Houston living GenXer and been married for 30 years. Has the dating here in Houston become that bad? I'm not part of that crowd but can you elaborate because I really don't see it.
I think it’s different strokes for different folks. The people that like to be in the streets all day everyday usually prefer Houston for the nightlife/club attractions, etc. No, Dallas is not huge on nightlife, but Dallas folks who live here and have friends have our spots and little places that we like to stick to for casual fun to end the night. I grew out of my partying phase quite fast so it’s not anything I feel like I’m missing out on. Last few times I went out in Houston it was cool, but other than good music and folks just standing around drinking, I’m not understanding what the big attraction is supposed to be. Dallas is more fast paced in a corporate/professional manner and things are always changing and developing. Houston does seems to have more of a traditional southern city feel and gives chill vibes. Houston folks gotta deal with them hurricanes and Dallas folks gotta deal with tornado. Both cities are very black, but Dallas by far is more segregated. Traffic is booty in both places, but Houston might be a little worse. Dallas is expensive, but living here in certain areas really does give a luxury feel. Even though I’m a Dallas girlie, I’m not a hater, I can fully admit that Houston has the food game in the bag above all Texas cities. I can’t remember a lot of times that I had bad food in Houston, even if the service was trash. Dallas food for the most parts leaves a lot to be desired, unless you go to the hood spots.
What is that first beat at the beginning? Please point me to it.
I would like to know. I plan to make da move
Houston is for culture (food, music, cars, nightlife)🤘🏽 Dallas is where the money at though and may be better for dating and raising a family.. Htown ain’t for everybody and we don’t want everybody either 😂🤷🏽♂️
Facts 👌🏾 We love our city. H-town 🙌🏾
even the freeways in dallas look cleaner than the freeways in houston
Also, Dude says Houston cost of living is higher, and I don’t agree. I feel like Houston, when it comes to nice apartments, it’s a couple hundred dollars cheaper. I know this because I look at apartments all the time here, and it’s always cheaper than anything that I lived in while in Dallas.
Are they the same size apartments or are the ones in Houston smaller?
@@DallasRelocationGuide….Same size. Maybe it’s my area of the city. It’s further out but still within the beltway.
You cannot go wrong moving to either Houston or Dallas. Yes, traffic is worst in Houston. The reason why Dallas wins is simple, it is the nicer cities that part of the Dallas metro area. Dallas has better public transportation and DFW has way safer, richer, newer, better looking suburbs or cities around Dallas (Frisco, Plano, West Lake, Southlake, Coppell, McKinney, Grapevine, Las Colinas etc). When you move to Dallas you don't just get Dallas. You get Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Frisco, Irving, Garland, Addison, Richardson, Grapevine, Westlake, Southlake, University Park, Highland Park, McKinney, etc. A lot more gorgeous cities are part of the DFW metro and that is where Dallas wins big time. That is the reason why Dallas wins, it is because Dallas has better suburbs/Cities around it. Both places are amazing, Houston and Dallas are like two of the best places the USA has to offer and two places that do not get enough credits for how amazing and beautiful they are
Houston is bigger, more diverse, better food, better trees, close to beaches, etc.
Houston definitely has a lot going for it! The diversity, food, and even being close to the beach are big wins for sure. And you can’t beat those trees! What’s your favorite spot in Houston to take it all in-the food, the nature, or just the vibe?
Yep
@@brandonclark8395 I just like the pine trees, mainly on the northern half of Houston.
What beaches ⛱️?
@@angiesingleton5160 The Texas coast.
Never cared for houston dfw is the best metro area in the state & one of the largest in the country
Clearly from my name I have a slight bias, but I lived in Both. Moved to Dallas for a better job, it was cool. But Dallas drivers are much crazier. They do what I call the “Dallas Special” when they get over 3 lanes all at once at the last minute”. Even had a driver hit me, stopped, then they hopped back in their car and ran off…I had to chase them to at least get their license”.
Dallas ppl are a lot more rude than ppl in Houston. Dallas is also a bit more segregated as far as living areas. But Dallas does have some poppin’ spots. Jobs might be better in Dallas depending.
I prefer Houston highways, but the homes and space is better in Dallas. But the vibe of Houston is better. Traffic continues to suck every day.
Houston - better city
Dallas area - better suburbs
Dallas is better for your career as they have more options due to a more diverse economy, more order and cleaner. Houston is better for social life with more diversity in people and culture. Both are more similar to each other than they are different. Both are hot but Dallas is slightly more drier resulting in higher temperatures. Houston is more humid, swampy, and rainy.
Houston is better as a city in almost every way. Dallas has better suburbs in almost every way.
Them folks down in Houston rude af and ignorant. They have good food and nightlife, but the weather and people are just too much. Dallas is way better. I’ll even put Austin and San Antonio above Houston.
Haha, I feel you-Houston definitely has its moments with the heat and some not-so-friendly encounters. But yeah, the food and nightlife are hard to beat! Dallas does have a different vibe for sure. What is it about Dallas that makes it stand out over the other Texas cities for you?
@@DallasRelocationGuide I think Dallas just has a little bit of everything. It kind of feels like a more spread out version of NYC to me. Austin just seems too boring too me and it doesn’t have that big city feel. I absolutely love San Antonio honestly. I just don’t think there’s as much to do there, but I love the culture down there. When people in Houston find out you’re from or you live in Dallas they act a lil different.
I’m from Houston and yes I agree.
Houstonians are too proud of their city to see past their own noses.
Everyone just uses ignorance and pride.
They literally believe they are the best city in the world 😂
@@ThegreenRuler …OMG…I live in Houston too, and they are so annoying when comes to that. The pride for the city makes them delusional to certain facts about it. This is a unique cool city, but it’s far from the best.
But I will say this, Dallas is definitely more urban, concrete jungle, fast paced, upscale type of city.
Whereas Houston’s more laid back, chill, and very southern feel
Nice! Which one would you say has the better people overall?
@@DallasRelocationGuide definitely Dallas.
Dallas reminds me a lot of LA. As far as geographical layout goes.
Each city in the metroplex has its own vibe and culture and they don’t identify themselves with Dallas.
So it really helps Dallas stand out.
Dallas has better transportation and it’s cleaner than Houston.
The economy thrives more than Houston and it’s plenty diverse.
There’s also just more entertainment options in Dallas
Dallas concrete jungle? Stop with the corny cliches bro
@@mindofaking5923 it’s more of a concrete jungle compared to Houston. Stop typing. This is a conversation that’s too big for you lil dude

That’s awesome! Both Houston and Dallas offer a lot, especially if you're coming from a place like Toronto. It really just depends on what kind of lifestyle you’re looking for-Houston has that coastal, laid-back vibe, while Dallas has more of a metropolitan feel with great neighborhoods. What are the top things you're looking for in a city when considering the move?
@@DallasRelocationGuide diversity,good payin jobs and opportunities,not lots of crime etc spring and katy i heard are good neighborhoods in houston..i'm black so i want more black friendly city
Whether Dallas or Houston, if you enjoy warm to hot weather,
both cities are an obvious choice.
I think if you’re in finance, Dallas is the place to be. If you’re in the oil realm of things, Houston. Dallas is more appealing than Houston as far as living…San Antonio meets you in the middle.
Smart man. If you know you cant swim dont move near the water. 😂 Great content!

Mane Dallas. Traffic in Houston is craaaaaaaaazy
Haha, man, I feel you! Houston traffic is on a whole other level sometimes-it can really test your patience. Dallas has its moments too, but Houston definitely takes the cake when it comes to crazy roads. What’s your go-to strategy for surviving that Houston traffic?
I prefer Dallas more conservative -how I like to live. Houston. ghetto but fun. I can drive to Houston for fun.
Haha, sounds like you’ve found the perfect balance-keeping it conservative in Dallas but heading to Houston when you want to have a good time! What’s your go-to spot in Houston when you’re looking for that fun vibe?
