I read so many negative comments here about Houston or the USA, but let me tell you from the perspective of a German: America is the best country ever and Texas is the best state... In Munich/Germany, where I live, houses that cost 300k would cost at least 1.5 million. But the average salary here is 45k and we pay 50% taxes. So, I beg you. Enjoy your life, enjoy your property, enjoy the weather and your freedom and never, absolutely never, under any circumstances let even a spark of socialism come into your country. It is the death of all prosperity. I love these videos, it's like a little window into a better world, while here I'm being robbed by the state month after month and as the owner of a measly shack worth a fortune, I'm really just the janitor and get to do a little bit of building here and there for the good of the state. God bless america... no shit

[@luisbermudezYT]

I understand. In Spain it is the same

[@mandimatera9312]

Houses cost more bc It’s called supply and demand aka free market economy. It’s easier to compete in Texas if you’re low income.

[@thedialectic6346]

Amen! Well said.

[@JonathanRootD]

We already have socialism. It's called social security and it's incredibly popular.

[@Anna_2024-r6u]

In California would be the same … Texas used to be much cheaper. Before pandemic 40% cheaper. 15 years ago home would sell for 100-150k in suburbs. New construction ! But Houston itself has high prices for homes. Same like in Munich. The areas I like homes are from $2 millions. And have great schools. Very safe. Great play grounds for kids. Plenty cafe, restaurants. Just great location overall! Walkable. The houses that $300k are in suburbs. You may find older house in houston 2 bedrooms around 400k+. But schools would no be that good. Prices here mostly wary by the neighborhood. And school ratings. The higher ratings, high price for the house. That’s why lots of families prefer suburbs. More affordable. But traffic is annoying… Texas has large % of obesity and overweight people. Because they drive everywhere long distance.

[@opiumextract2934]

Im a Lifelong Resident and i cant wait to leave this area. It used to be affordable and not a lot of traffic. Not so much anymore.

[@marianmoses9604]

Yes I use to love houston I will always have a love for it but with all the congestion and high cost of living and crime I'm moving out of state next yr I'm ready

[@summerdawn979]

Traffic is horrendous in The Woodlands area. It gets worse and worse each year. I moved out of The Woodlands 2 yrs ago. Avoid 4-7pm M-F if at all possible. Porter/New Caney N of 99 is really starting to build up. Very reasonable housing as well.

[@PrayinforTexas]

The high cost of living is thanks to Californian (native texans) moving back. They have huge budgets, sellers get higher prices. The tax - they say they dont have capital gains, but there are other ways to get it. Corporations pay extremely well to some, but the minimum wage is still 7.00? Why? I will always have an element of Texas, especially Houston, Pride. But my heart is truly sad for what has happened to it. This video is just a depiction of where all the well-to-do move about once thier homes start to decay. Thanks to the very loose building codes.

[@miscstuff7824]

Outskirts of Tomball, Magnolia, and Conroe used to offer an affordable mix of suburban and rural life. Post covid, though, it has been a madhouse of development and a lot of old growth forests are being razed for new community starts. A lot of the old charm of living in the dense forests of east Texas while still having (fairly) easy access to Houston proper amenities and while still being affordable is quickly fading. When you view the communities in this area, you'll see a stark contrast between older and newer communities. Older communities tended to surgically remove trees to build homes resulting in a "cabin-in-the-woods" type feeling with a high degree of privacy. Nowadays, developers tend to clear and flatten wide swaths of forests and build uninteresting and honestly sterile communities.

[@radiotec76]

As someone living in Houston for 42 years don’t drive on I-45 and especially at the Tidwell exit. That area is rife with atrociously bad drivers and lots of accidents. If you must drive on I-45 because you have to work downtown then get a safe car and a dash-can. As for where to live, avoid any community with tall trees. Houston is in a flash drought and your home stands a high risk of fire damage or far worse. For hurricanes and tropical storms, we get far worse damage from tropical storms than hurricanes, avoid the Sugarland and Richmond/Rosenberg area. They flooded badly during Harvey and a lot of people from those areas I knew suffered flood damage. It floods during the torrential storms we usually get as well. Avoid Kingwood. It floods badly.

[@JB-kx9bx]

I just bought a house in The Woodlands 😅

[@Alainesteph]

I called 45 a death trap 😩😩

[@rolindets47]

What do you think about cypress or bridgeland?

[@jdlfpr]

I’m gonna make this easy for anyone considering moving to Houston. 1. Houston is full, packed, very similar to L.A. traffic. 2. North or west of 99 is good, anywhere inside 99 you’re gonna deal with alot of crime. 3. Anything south you’re gonna deal with flooding and only very few selected areas are nice. South/southeast there’s a lot of crime. Southwest, MS13 central. North, high crime unless you get past 99. Northwest, same as north. West, once you get closer to Fulshear edge of Katy, it’s nice but expensive. Old Katy, lots of crime. Sugarland, some parts are nice, but you’re close to stafford and southwest bellaire area, very high crime. Unless you go past Katy, The woodlands, or Magnolia you’re gonna deal with a lot of crime and road rage (Houston is road rage central) Friendswood down south is ok, but not all of it, same with pearland. We do have some nice restaurants downtown, galleria, memorial. But let’s not sugarcoat it, downtown has a lot of homeless people. If you want to live in a safe neighborhood, be prepared to pay high rent or $400k-$1 mil for a nice house. Property taxes are pretty high in the west suburbs.

As a 3rd generation inner loop Houstonian and 5th generation Texan living on fry rd and ten in Katy I can 100 percent co-sign this comment

[@stevearcher6100]

Read between the lines regarding "crime." For instance; The Woodlands is no longer what it was 20 years ago what with all of the apartments and the "Greenspoint crowd" that has noticeably increased in the area over the last 5-10yrs. And when I say "noticeably," I am understating it. Many residents have relocated up to what is technically Magnolia and Montgomery where the degenerate element, other than cartel level, simply cannot afford to live and aren't as inclined to drive to since there is no mall and far fewer ancillary chain restaurants.

[@hectorcastrejon]

​@@stevearcher6100So what do you think is the best place to live in all of TX? Thanks!

[@stevearcher6100]

@@hectorcastrejon Couldn't say, honestly. Maybe one of the Dallas exurbs that hasn't developed out yet. It really depends on what you are willing to tolerate, especially if that third-world vibe doesn't bother you as much as it does many of us. The video lays out the predominate areas, but Houston has never really been considered a "great place to live" in the first place, at least not in the sense that many other cities across the US have been. It is hot and crowded. If you were considering The Woodlands, Montgomery seems to be the new area of interest.

[@RVirus87]

As a native Houstonian who has been to every single area, I can confirm that this video is accurate 👍

[@cjsteadman6217]

I moved to Katy in 1992. Small town with friendly people. The rice fields to the north and east of my subdivision were taken over by snow geese in late September and October. The roads were all two lane blacktop with very light traffic. Now there is new development where the rice fields used to be. No more snow geese, and horrendous traffic. The roads are still two lane blacktop with massive pot holes and bumper to bumper traffic for hours. I retired three years ago, so I don't have to deal with rush hour anymore, but we miss the small town we moved to all those years ago.

[@spiritgrant7998]

Katy is becoming too crowded. List it's small town feeling. Don't move here!!!

[@OCDRex11]

Moved to Katy in 2020 and I wish we hadn't. I love Katy, I really do but it is insane with traffic and people. Yes, I am a transplant so I can't speak to 1992 but we came from Colorado and I felt as you do. Colorado became to crowded and a lot of other reasons I'll refrain from discussing, drove us away. Katy was where we were directed and I wish I would have researched more. If anything I would have chosen Fulshear. But in general, west Houston is nuts and everyone wants to move here/there.

It’s nothing like that any more. More people live in 77449 and 77084 than anywhere else in Harris county and west of that in Katy proper has exploded

[@markdsimpson8915]

Harvey had an impact on Houston that lasts today. Some areas of Houston will be problematic because of the extended flooding during Harvey and the lack of construction crews to get people back into their homes. There is no insurance coverage for any left over issues from the flooding. If you buy, and the remediation was not certified, you will have a problem. Great video.

[@Regi254.]

We moved to Katy from central Texas. Lived there ten yrs. I’m a school bus driver and driving for Katy ISD was a culture shock coming from a 2a district… I loved the ppl, the pay and our youngest son graduated from Taylor HS. But I was soooo very hot, I couldn’t survive the climate. So we moved back home 100 miles south of Dallas. I miss Katy. I miss having so much to do. But not the humidity. However, it feels like Houston around these parts more and more.

[@GripGroupFilms]

Hey Jackson! Love your videos and feel you do what you do better than anyone in Houston. We recently had made the decision to move to Houston. We had secured a realtor before finding your videos. In a short amount of time, I estimate we watched 80% of all your content in less than a week and have watched even more since. Your videos helped us so much to really understand what each area had to provide and what they didn't. My wife and I are super excited to have found our home in Harper's Preserve and you certainly played a significant role. Even though weve found our home, we both are still excited when you drop a new video. This one is great as usual..keep up the great work and thank you again!

I live in the Montrose area, inside the loop. My daily commute? 15 min each way. It is a great area. A lot will depend on where you work and how much you want to spend. One of the important things to keep in mind is the flooding history of an area. Ask about it.

I've lived here for 20 years and I can tell you; the best place to live in Houston is, literally anywhere else

We live in the North Montrose area, off Allen Parkway, about 1.5 miles from Downtown. Dozen of restaurants within walking distance, good walking and biking infrastructure and big city amenities (theater and sports) without the crowds. You mention nice areas, but all are car centric. Personally, I like the Woodlands as an option

[@donsergio2406]

Has Houston Metro improved? I remember (not that long ago) when you couldn't take a bus in Montrose on Sunday evenings. I used to have co-workers coming to H-town from New England offices and be left stranded, calling me in the weekends for a quick ride because they did not know about the backward mass transit of the 4th largest city in America.

[@lesliegarcia8041]

Coming from someone who has lived in places where you really have to advocate for yourself for good medical care, Houston is the best! You will get top medical care here. I didn't realize how important that was, until I lived in places that didn't have it. It's one of the best reasons to live in Houston. Secondly, it's green year round, flat but green--like Ireland green. Thirdly, the rain and storms are beautiful, and keep everything green. Now, the number one negative-- the traffic 🚦⛔ 🔥🥵 HORRIBLE. It's literally hell!! I lived there for 17 years in the 80s and 90s when the Woodlands and Kingwood didn't even exist. People moved to far out suburbs to get away from traffic. Now, the traffic has just spread. So, traffic is absolutely the worst thing about the Houston area. Access to coastal living is nice, and lake living within reach, and you need to be around water, because its mostly humid, even in winter, and the summers can be scorching 🥵. That's the #2 negative. All in all, it's not bad if you can get away, at least a few times a year. A lot of people here choose to vacation in Colorado, or end up moving there. Another plus, is jobs. The economy is robust, especially compared to other places. Cost of living still isn't too bad compared to other large metros in the country.

As a resident of Pasadena/Clear Lake, it would be nice to see some videos highlighting older areas like a Pasadena, La Porte, Clear Lake City, etc. Not everybody needs, or wants brand new master planned areas, and not everybody necessarily cares what school district they live in. There is a lot of affordability, nice amenities, not to mention the proximity to Clear Lake and Galveston Bay.

Pasadena just has too many chemical plants etc for me to live in that part. Clear lake is still quite nice though.

You went so far into the outskirts, it's not really even Houston. I lived in the West U./South Side Place area near the medical center. Loved it. It was quiet but accessible, with short rides to everything & appealed to a city gal from Jersey. Also had huge, older, unique houses (as opposed to the way too prevalent cookie-cutters) that reminded me of home. Inside of 610 is BEST, imho. Maybe not quite as affordable but everything is a tradeoff. There was always too much traffic in those outlying (beyond the Beltway), master-planned communities.

I find your videos very insightful🌹 Thank you

[@LivinginHoustonTX]

youre welcome! is there an area you liked from the presentation?

[@GodBeforeMoney]

I live in a neighborhood next door to Benders Landing called Woodson Reserve, and I can confirm that it might by the best hidden gem in all of the Houston area.

[@sandysawyer5565]

Great video, I’m a Houston Realtor focusing more on Southwest Houston, Sugar Land, Katy. I’m originally from Southern California. I can see why people move to Katy, it mostly resembles the suburbs where I grew up.

My kids graduated in the Friendswood school district. The homes are beautiful, solid old school custom. They were not slapped up.

[@Limuh2]

My kids moved from Friendswood and went to the East Coast for far better (public) education for the grandkids. My DIL says it's night and day difference. Also having a home invasion (while having a small dinner party with friends) in a nice area of Friendswood was the tipping point.

hello You have very good information, This is very valuable

[@daysonlee2769]

There is a really nice community on the Tomball/Cypress border called Amira . Very nice community and they’re adding more land space for more homes(Perry,Beazer homes). It’s about five minutes from the new high school. And right off the 99.

I've just bought a house in Amira 😊 moving from Western Australia

[@daysonlee2769]

@@jackhansen8298 That’s awesome! Congrats, I also brought a house in Amira about a year ago. Love it so far! Hopefully we can cross paths at some point.

Looking to move to Katy area in 2025ish from Washington State. Excited and not so excited, u know the hole moving thing but a great job opportunity has come up so I really don't wanna pass it up and we are the adventure type of family. Looking forward to HUSTON TX experience 😊

[@mariafrizzell6887]

We just moved to Cypress from NC. I’m So happy we found your video which is super informational and it confirms our choice. Thank you

[@blessedmamags7796]

Cypress is paradise 💖. Are you north or south?

[@ericalopez1151]

I know this video is older but if you’re just now seeing this like me, please do yourself a favor and research the areas especially flooding!! FEMA flood maps..talk to neighbors..check recent disasters.

[@JenniferPerryMyScraproom]

Nope - been there and done that! 🙂 The only good thing about our time in Houston was being close to Galveston. We lived in Cypress and to be fair it was the traffic and humidity that got me the most. I quickly found out that I am more of a NTX girl. 🙂

hi, great video. I moved from Gladstone, in Queensland Australia. Arrived 1 January 2019. We found a house in Villages of Northpointe, Tomball, right by Memorial High School. One son went into 2nd half of 9th grade, other son had 5 months in Grade 6 at Oakcrest Intermediate. After two years we moved to Grand Lakes Estate Montgomery, near Woodforest. I've been really impressed by the schools in both ISDs and our boys have been happy enough even with Covid in the midst. One son now drives to University Park campus of Lone Star College and the other is about to start at Conroe campus of Lone Star College in a dual credit program and attends Lake Creek High School going into his senior year. I easily drive into Conroe township, using the library there, over to Old Montgomery, the Woodlands and every few weeks head over to Tomball as I like to go to Seasons Harvest for lunch. Altogether it's been a really comfortable place to live. On day trips we go to Galveston Bay or Lake Livingston. I've also lived in Brooklyn, one hour north of Sydney, for 2 years; Moggill, less than one hour south-west of Brisbane almost 5 years, and Cranbourne, Dandenong and Endeavour Hills, outer east about one hour from Melbourne City for 25 years of my life. Personally, I don't find the traffic around the Woodlands area, Tomball, Cypress or Spring all that bad. I recall Sydneys traffic especially around Parramatta as feeling worse at peak hour.

Hey Jackson. It's my first time watching your video. You are the best. Now I have a good insite about Houston TX. We are planning to move there. Thanks a million.

Don't forget to have your FEMA insurance policy up to date. Just a friendly reminder.

Montgomery is great. Take a look. Lake Conroe and golf courses everywhere. Nice people.

[@salo1129]

Great video! I have been in Houston for 14 years, but I had no idea of some of the hidden areas, such as Highland Park or Friendszone. I am in Sugar Land and know a lot about Katy and Woodlands. One thing to note about Sugar Land is that there is everything to do here. It's a well-established area where you can find just about anything. All new restaurants start in Sugar Land or Galleria and then expand to the rest of Houston. That is why Richmond has been expanding because of its proximity to Sugar Land.

[@moinulhossainrahat5924]

Does Sugar Land flood during hurricanes or heavy rainfall?

Love you guys ! And Jo Jo got us a crazy deal on a new construction!

Great Information

Thanks!

[@Mr.Shannon.456]

I came to Houston in 2020 and I chose the Katy area. I wanted to be close to lots of Asian restaurants but outside the beltway 8 (sorry Bellaire), so what better choice than Katy Asian Town and the other Asian restaurants in the area. Not sure if Woodlands, Cypress, and these other areas have lots of Asian restaurants or not by comparison. Asian restaurants, Asian population, and outside the Beltway were the three big factors for me. Unfortunately, still looking for an Asian wife!

[@tracyecunningham1906]

Very helpful. Keep it coming!
