I grew up in Houston, and JUST got a house in Navasota, TX and I'm much happier now. Houston is expensive, noisy, full of traffic, rude lazy people who never put carts back when shopping, morons behind the wheel, dirty...just all around horrible environment to live. I bought an Urban Loft unit next to the Pierce elevated i-45 and it was shoddily built with all manner of corners but and taxes were insane and neighborhood was still crack central. Navasota is MAGA country and that's a negative for it, but the folks there aren't MAGA because they are evil, but rather they are easily fooled by the fear mongering that the GOP engages in. For the most part, they are nice people who been fooled by Trump. Other than the MAGA situation, Navasota is quiet, clean and convenient, also minus the stupid train horns ever 30 minutes, but I'm taking care of that soon.

The walkability inside the loop is laughable. The only people walking are homeless or questionable characters. A more realistic take would be a 5-15-minute drive to get to places.

Heights guy here. Overlooked pro in the loop is transportation cost. In the exurbs, you'll be wearing out a new car every three years. In the loop, I'm able to run most of my errands by bicycle. Last calendar year, I logged 930 miles running errands on the bike. My motor vehicle use was 2600 miles, including a 500-mile roadtrip to view the solar eclipse. Lots of young inner-loopers do OK with no car at all, an unthinkable proposition in the exurbs. The higher neartown housing cost is more than offset by reduced transportation cost.

Major traffic congestion, poorly planned cookie cutter neighborhoods with short driveways and cars parked in front of houses jamming the neighborhood and making travel difficult. Please don't move to Katy.

I've lived here since January (in the Towne Lake area), and I'm liking it a lot. North Cypress is really where the trees are, and the neighborhoods are built in gorgeous pine forests that extend from the Houston area northward for about 200 miles. Although south Cypress doesn't have the trees, I prefer it, because I've experienced living in a forest, and the tree maintenance and damage to homes during storms made it not worth it to me. Overall, the ethnic and cultural diversity is something I like about Cypress. Like many new residents, I was surprised, but it's the way Texas is and I like it.

There's nothing that can be done about cars. Huge area. Everyone has their own point A and B and usually many miles between them. No public transportation can ever deal with that especially when you combine it with need to walk in heat and humidity. Houston is built for private autos, like 90+% of other American cities and it's futile to fight against it.

Unfortunate, but it is the reality. I do think city projects like the Shepherd / Durham project in the Heights to add sidewalks, trees, and bike lanes can help make areas at least more walkable. But massive public transportation infrastructure would be too costly to add at this point sadly. But it's something I want to make sure people know who may be coming here from cities/countries with public transportation in place, so they aren't caught off-guard!

As a Katy native, we have an annual Rice Festival in the Fall. Bush Park was built as a reservoir/park as are most of the parks in the Katy neighborhoods. Additionally, Buffalo Bayou has its source near Katy. Katy Mills Mall was not purchased by Simon but was acquired by Simon in a settlement with the Mills family. The Mills family sued Simon after Simon planned to build a mall on the corner of what is now 99 and I-10. Although Simon was never built, one anchor store (JC Penney) was built and is open. The rest of the land owned by Simon is now Katy Asian Town. If you live in Katy but work downtown, Metro has an express bus that runs from Katy to Downtown. The Metro station is located on the corner of 99 and I-10.

Our team has actually helped more people move to and around Houston post pandemic than ever before, even with the rate and price increases. The small percentage that have moved away from Houston is almost always due to job relocation. Does our weather suck a lot of the time, for sure! I always apologize to people moving here from places with 4 seasons 😂 I also totally agree that affordability is nowhere near where it was pre-pandemic, but for a top 5 large major city in the US, we are still considered affordable comparatively. Would I love it if a starter home in the suburbs was 175k again? 100% yes! I think housing affordability is a major concern across the nation though, not just Houston.

Another point that needs to be covered from anyone moving from out of Texas to anywhere in Texas, they may save in state taxes but they will be hit by huge property taxes, especially when the properties appreciate in value. So houston is underrated but still cost of living is getting expensive with inflation.
@NickSellsHouston
@NickSellsHouston 7 ай бұрын
Great point! Property taxes in the suburbs usually average around 2.8-3.5% which can add up, especially as home values increase. In older or more established areas, it’s more common to see 1.8-2.5% such as where I’m at inside the loop. Definitely something to keep in mind and talk over with your lender to make sure you have a good idea of what to expect before purchasing. Once you move in, always protest those property taxes, and make sure you file for your homestead exemption and/or any others you qualify for.
