Yeah, being close to the highway can be really convenient, especially for commuting! But I totally get the appeal of having more trees and greenery. Are you someone who prefers lots of nature around your home, or do you like the convenience of easy access to major roads?

[@AnnieHolsen]

I predict a housing crash due to people buying homes over asking price, lacking equity if prices decline further. Foreclosure becomes likely if they can't afford the house, and selling won't yield profits. With anticipated layoffs and rising living costs, many individuals may face this situation.

[@JosephineKenney]

I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad as it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too.

Can you guys please talk about the flooding in the Tavola West New Caney area as well as Houston area in general.

[@houstontexasliving33]

Great suggestion! Flooding is definitely something to consider when relocating to the Houston area, especially in certain neighborhoods like Tavola West in New Caney. Houston is known for its heavy rainfall, and some areas are more prone to flooding than others, depending on factors like proximity to bayous, drainage systems, and elevation. We’ll definitely look into doing a deep dive on flooding concerns and how to choose a flood-prone area. Would you like us to focus on certain neighborhoods or just general tips on how to protect your property?

[@conniesaratoga3194]

Haha! He just said that Lennar has a great reputation for building quality houses???? Yeah, better budget an extra large sum of money to tackle all the issues that will crop up for many years, that you will most likely never get Lennar to follow through and make even basic repairs once they have your money, even with the useless new home warranty they push to make you feel that you are financially protected!! Unless you either are, or can afford to hire a great lawyer, or you have a huge social media folowing to put them on blast so they may actually feel it isin their best interest to make the repairs. Still is a pain to keep having to have repairmen in your house, and some of the issues can be safety issues, and some may not crop up for years after warranty expures. Plus these builders have bribed all the lawmakers so it is very difficult to fight the big building corporations, so good luck!!!

[@houstontexasliving33]

That’s a tough situation, and I can definitely see why you’d be frustrated. It’s so important to have a builder you can rely on, especially when it comes to long-term quality and warranty support. Have you had any specific issues that made the experience so difficult, or do you think there are ways to better navigate the process with these builders? It sounds like a lot of homeowners are having similar concerns, and it would be interesting to hear what you think could improve the system.

[@houstontexasliving33]

Houston Habitat for Humanity is a reputable organization dedicated to providing affordable housing solutions in the Houston area. They have built over 1,100 homes in various Houston neighborhoods, including the Fifth Ward, Northeast Houston, and Southeast Houston. The organization has received high ratings from several charity evaluators: - **Charity Navigator:** Houston Habitat for Humanity has earned a 4-star rating with a perfect score of 100%, indicating strong financial health, accountability, and transparency. - **GuideStar/Candid:** The organization holds a Platinum Seal, reflecting a high level of transparency and commitment to sharing detailed financial and operational information. - **Better Business Bureau (BBB):** Houston Habitat for Humanity is an Accredited Charity, meeting all BBB standards for charitable accountability. While these ratings are positive, individual experiences can vary. Some online reviews highlight positive aspects, such as affordable pricing at their ReStore outlets, while others express concerns about pricing and customer service. If you're considering engaging with Houston Habitat for Humanity-whether through donations, volunteering, or applying for housing-it's advisable to conduct further research and, if possible, speak directly with the organization or individuals who have firsthand experience. This approach will provide a more comprehensive understanding tailored to your specific interests and concerns.

because most bathrooms are built in the middle. Depends on the floor plan, some bathrooms are built right next to one of the outer walls, and thus, have windows.

[@kdockrey]

Building codes where I am require a window for ventilation or a fan for mechanical ventilation

[@houstontexasliving33]

Great question! It's interesting how bathrooms in the U.S. often don't have windows. I think it’s partly due to design preferences, privacy concerns, and the focus on ventilation through fans instead. What kind of bathroom layout do you prefer-one with a window for natural light, or do you think modern ventilation systems are enough?

[@AnthonyTolhurst-dw1nc]

Wouldn’t dare call these dogboxes. My best mate dog might hear me. “All made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same” comes to mind. All jammed together; hearing my neighbour fart in the bathroom, and he me, just doesn’t cut it.

Ha, I see what you mean-those cookie-cutter homes can definitely feel cramped and lack individuality.

So, is California better? The cheapest city with new homes is at Banning, CA.

[@laurosaldana]

Unate states is becoming unaffordable! Inflation is so bad taxes are trough the roof!!

[@houstontexasliving33]

I hear you-it can definitely feel like the cost of living is rising fast in some areas. With inflation and high taxes, it can be tough to find affordable options. Have you looked into different areas in Texas or elsewhere where the cost of living might be a bit more manageable?

[@DeltaEcho303]

Not perfect, but definitely preferable to a condo or row townhouse.

[@houstontexasliving33]

That makes sense-sometimes a single-family home offers more privacy and space, even if it’s not perfect. Are there specific features you’re looking for in a home that make it preferable to a condo or townhouse? We'd love to hear what matters most to you!

[@alejmez8594]

I like the small house but I know its over priced.

[@houstontexasliving33]

That’s a common feeling when it comes to homes, especially if you’re comparing size to price. What do you think would make the price more reasonable for a house like that? Are there certain features or upgrades that would make it feel more worth the value to you?

[@whyworkwhenicanrap6830]

Ugh Lennar I’m in a Lennar home now they might be a great company but I’ve watched the guys they higher Leave wood out in the rain uncovered built quality isn’t always the best, but I’m sure it’s not every home just certain crews working to fast without Care I’m still going to Give them another go

[@houstontexasliving33]

Sounds like you’ve had some mixed experiences with Lennar. It's definitely important to get a good crew that takes care with the build quality. Have you had any issues with your home that you're hoping won’t happen again, or are you more focused on the value they offer in new builds? What would you look for in your next home from Lennar to feel more confident about it?

[@rocsocom3166]

Do they have an HOA?.

[@maketaco6683]

1 car garage is bad, all storage goes there, car(s) will be outside, streets will be full of parked cars and impossible to navigate.

[@houstontexasliving33]

You're absolutely right-one-car garages can really limit storage and parking, especially in neighborhoods where homes are close together. It can quickly lead to cars being parked outside, which makes the streets harder to navigate. Have you seen any homes with better garage designs or extra parking solutions? It seems like more builders are starting to offer larger garages or additional parking spaces as upgrades.

[@CassieAdams-o8f]

What about those annoying HOA fees?

[@dennismahabir2840]

Why are the rooms so tiny 😫

[@houstontexasliving33]

Great question! We know space is a big factor when choosing a home. Sometimes builders focus on maximizing layout efficiency, but we’d love to know-what size rooms would you consider ideal? Are you looking for more spacious bedrooms, or maybe larger common areas? Let’s talk about what your dream home layout would look like!

[@Mellowyellow8888]

eh. Houston's top suburb? please.. Cinco Ranch, Sugar Land, Woodlands.. those are the top 3.. Tavola is barely developed.. and too far if someone needs to work inside the loop.. who wants to drive 40mins EACH WAY to and from downtown, galleria, med center or even energy corridor..

[@blueSky-ky3xy]

We don't drive but take bus everyday, is really tired. That's 2 hours every day on bus.

[@Mellowyellow8888]

@@blueSky-ky3xy yeah unforutnately.. houston is terrible for public transit.. i feel your pain.. When I first moved to Houston.. i took the bus down westheimer.. frankly worst bus service.. never on time, never had notification of route changes, barely came on weekends..

[@houstontexasliving33]

You're absolutely right-Cinco Ranch, Sugar Land, and The Woodlands are definitely established top choices! Tavola's still developing, and that commute can be a big factor if you're working inside the loop. Have you found any other up-and-coming neighborhoods closer to downtown that you think might be a good alternative for those wanting more development but without the long drive? Or do you think the balance of space and affordability in areas like Tavola might still make it worth considering for some people?

[@OscarLRamirez-j2p]

Let's be honest that subdivision will look like crap in 5 years, it happens all over Houston.

[@houstontexasliving33]

That’s definitely a concern with some fast-growing subdivisions. Over time, maintenance, HOA regulations, and the initial quality of construction all play a role in how a neighborhood ages. What do you think developers or homeowners could do to ensure a subdivision retains its appeal long-term?

[@froggybug]

This should not be a 4 bedroom. The study sacrifices your bedroom space. There’s no room for an actual bed! Who is sleeping in a twin except small children. Kids get bigger. These prices are ridiculous! These houses aren’t worth 200k…maybe 130-140k at most.

[@houstontexasliving33]

Great observations! It's definitely a challenge when layouts prioritize a study over functional bedroom space. Many families need more flexibility as kids grow. As for pricing, the market has definitely shifted, especially with material and labor costs. That said, what do you think would make these homes more valuable or better suited to families-bigger rooms, more versatile spaces? We'd love to hear your thoughts!

[@rolandthethompsongunner64]

Gee what’s the water quality like near Houston with all those chemical plants and oil refineries?😂

[@blueSky-ky3xy]

Never drink anything from Texas land.

[@kekelo_losangelesj1312]

​@blueSky-ky3xy ❤😂

[@houstontexasliving33]

That’s a valid concern, especially with the industrial presence in certain areas around Houston. Water quality is something many people are mindful of. Have you looked into any specific neighborhoods where you might feel more comfortable with the water quality, or do you use any water filtration systems to ensure peace of mind? It’d be interesting to hear how others in the area deal with it!

[@yojuanjose1]

Lennar homes are horrible walls are crooked the paint they use is the cheapest they can find, those are the things that ive seen so we even know nothing about all the items in the house. Problem is they want to a lot of money. Thats why they their subcontractors so cheap.

[@ardentlions6636]

Pretty much all of them corporate homebuilders, not about quality, it’s about selling units cheap and fast.

[@houstontexasliving33]

I hear your frustration-quality can definitely vary, and it’s disappointing when the craftsmanship doesn't meet expectations. With large builders like Lennar, sometimes cost-cutting measures affect the final product. Have you looked into any other builders or custom options around Houston? There are some great choices out there with higher-end finishes and attention to detail. It can also be worth considering a new build with a smaller, more reputable builder for better overall quality.

[@k1ng4r7hur]

the arquitec should be fired those spaces are not well adjusted

[@houstontexasliving33]

It sounds like you're not a fan of the layout! Sometimes design choices can feel a bit off depending on how the spaces flow. Are there particular areas you think could have been better planned? We'd love to hear your thoughts on what makes a well-adjusted layout for you!

[@jjlenkel7050]

Solid counters Sterile Look Blamm’’, Plastic slip in Shower / Tub Why not Tile Shower, So cheap Looking ?

[@houstontexasliving33]

Totally get what you’re saying! The plastic showers and more sterile-looking finishes can feel a bit basic. Tile can definitely elevate the look and feel, especially in the bathroom. Are you someone who prefers more traditional designs with lots of character, or do you lean toward a more modern, sleek look, even if it’s a bit minimalist?

[@DallasTX_1122]

This is great that they are trying to solve the affordability crisis. However they just look so cheaply made. Hope they won’t need a lot of repairs.

[@houstontexasliving33]

You're right-affordability is a huge factor, but it's tough when the quality doesn’t quite match up. It’s always a gamble with new builds, especially when they’re trying to keep prices low. Hopefully, they stand the test of time with minimal issues, but it’s definitely something to keep in mind when looking at a new home. Have you considered inspecting homes thoroughly or looking into any warranty programs to help with potential repairs?

[@jtan4213]

Buy your own land build your own house is much cheaper!

[@houstontexasliving33]

That's a great point! Building on your own land can be a cost-effective choice if you plan it right. In the Houston area, it also gives you the flexibility to design a home that fits your needs perfectly. Have you looked into land prices or builders here yet? We’d love to share tips if that’s something you’re considering!

[@1MarkKeller]

It's 2024, they really need to stop building one car garages

[@houstontexasliving33]

Completely agree-one-car garages just don't seem practical for most families in 2024! With more people needing space for multiple vehicles, storage, or even a home gym, two-car garages (or bigger) make much more sense. Do you think builders should make larger garages standard, or offer them as an affordable upgrade?

[@rickbecket2820]

If they allow rentals then investors will buy all these homes and rent them out. Tiny homes can only work if you have an HOA that bans rentals.

[@houstontexasliving33]

You bring up a very valid point. The issue of investors buying homes and turning them into rentals is a common concern, especially in communities with more affordable housing options like those provided by Habitat for Humanity or tiny home developments. Here's a breakdown of how this could play out and potential solutions: ### **Challenges with Rentals in These Communities** 1. **Investor Buyouts:** Without restrictions, investors could purchase multiple properties, driving up prices and reducing availability for those who need affordable housing. 2. **Community Stability:** Homeownership often fosters more stable and engaged communities. A high percentage of rentals can lead to less community cohesion. 3. **Maintenance Issues:** Investor-owned rentals may not be maintained to the same standard as owner-occupied homes, potentially affecting property values and neighborhood appeal. ### **Why HOAs and Rental Bans Help** 1. **Protecting Affordability:** An HOA can set covenants that limit the number of rentals in the community, ensuring homes are purchased by people who will live there. 2. **Preserving Community Integrity:** By prioritizing owner-occupancy, the neighborhood can maintain a stable and invested population. 3. **Enforcing Standards:** HOAs can also implement rules about property upkeep, which is often less of a priority for absentee landlords. ### **Potential Alternatives** If an HOA isn’t an option, other measures can help: - **Deed Restrictions:** These can specify that homes must remain owner-occupied for a certain number of years after purchase. - **Right of First Refusal:** The organization (like Habitat for Humanity) could retain the right to buy back the property at a predetermined price if the owner decides to sell, keeping the homes within the affordable housing pool. ### **Encouraging Sustainable Communities** Communities interested in tiny homes or affordable housing must carefully balance accessibility with protections against exploitation by investors. Do you think an HOA or other protective measures would be effective in areas like Houston? 😊

[@betsyr4724]

To close no privacy

[@houstontexasliving33]

Privacy can definitely be a concern, especially when homes are built so close together. Some people prefer more space between homes to feel like they have their own personal oasis. Are you looking for more secluded neighborhoods, or do you think homes with larger yards or better fencing could help solve that issue?

[@user-cj6hi2yv3k]

That's not a house that's so bad

[@houstontexasliving33]

It sounds like you're expressing disappointment or critique about a specific house. Could you clarify what you mean? Are you discussing a house shown in one of your videos, a general style, or a specific feature you didn't like? This will help me provide a more tailored response! 😊

[@29kalel]

Lennar is a big turn off horrible build quality

[@houstontexasliving33]

I hear you! Some people have had similar experiences with Lennar, particularly when it comes to build quality and attention to detail. Have you looked into other builders in the Houston area that might offer a higher level of craftsmanship? There are plenty of options out there, and it’s important to find the right fit for your needs!

[@jaceski5806]

Who is going to buy the model when those shitty homes are in the same neighborhood? Ill give you the answer, nobody.

[@houstontexasliving33]

That’s definitely a valid concern about how different home styles can impact a neighborhood’s appeal! Do you think there’s a way to balance affordability with maintaining neighborhood value? What kind of home design or community setup do you think would attract more buyers?

[@pikachusolu1606]

200k for that piece of trash lmao.. yeah good luck

[@houstontexasliving33]

I totally get your frustration-it’s tough when the price doesn’t seem to match up with the quality. It’s always good to be cautious and make sure you're getting value for what you pay. Have you looked into other neighborhoods or homes in that price range that might offer better quality? We’d be happy to help you explore more options!

[@ebeyslough]

These are terrible builds
