Native Houstonian here, love you guys! Videos are so great highlighting so many great areas of the Houston metro areas! Also it’s pronounced “Kirk-en-dall” Road 😂 weird I know! Keep up the great work and when I’m ready I’ll be reaching out to you guys when I plan to purchase next!

[@uchennaegbuonu2943]

Love woodland and Sugarland, my sister stays at Katy and my brother at Pearland. I love trees but also love shops and offices and recreation centers and restaurants to be nearby.

[@houstontexasliving33]

Woodlands and Sugar Land are fantastic choices, and it sounds like you’ve got family spread out in some great areas! 🌳🍽️ Both places have a perfect mix of nature and convenience, with plenty of green space like parks and trails, but also tons of shopping, dining, and entertainment options close by. Katy and Pearland are also lovely spots with strong community vibes. If you're considering moving closer to family or want to explore areas that have that balance of nature and accessibility to amenities, you’re in great company. Do you have a favorite feature about any of these areas, or are you still deciding which one might fit your lifestyle the best? 😊

[@EazoIsaac-th4mh]

The area is so cool, wish I was living in it, but that's gonna be 6yrs for me, I have to Hussle, I want to live there forever

I want only a floor, high ceiling, big kitchen, 3 /3, I don’t care a “ big yard”, or not close school, I only need a beautiful house to live in peace.I live in Miami, Kendall specifically. Please can you help me to choose the correct place?. Thanks in advance.

[@houstontexasliving33]

It sounds like you're at an exciting but also challenging point in your life, planning your next move to a peaceful, stress-free environment. It’s great that you’re thinking ahead and wanting to make an informed decision about where to settle. Based on your preferences, I can definitely help guide you through the process of finding the right area to move to, whether it’s in Texas or another location. Here’s what I would recommend: ### 1. **Houston and Surrounding Areas (Pearland, Sugar Land, The Woodlands)** - **Peaceful yet Convenient:** These areas in Houston are well-known for being great places for people who want a peaceful environment, beautiful homes, and proximity to all the conveniences like grocery stores, restaurants, and medical facilities. Since you’re looking for a single-story home, high ceilings, and a spacious kitchen, you’ll find lots of custom and semi-custom homes that fit those needs here. - **Sugar Land**: Known for its well-planned communities, Sugar Land offers a suburban feel with parks, golf courses, and great shopping centers. It’s more relaxed, but still close to Houston. - **The Woodlands**: This area offers a more serene environment with beautiful homes and lots of nature, while still being close to shops, restaurants, and healthcare options. The neighborhood is more upscale, quiet, and also a great place to relax while staying connected to the city. - **Pearland**: Pearland offers good, affordable housing options and is rapidly growing, but it has a more suburban vibe than the hustle and bustle of Miami. It’s close to Houston but has more space and is also known for being a nice place to retire or live quietly. ### 2. **North Austin (Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander)** - If you're open to moving to a different part of Texas, **Austin** is a popular destination. Areas like **Round Rock**, **Cedar Park**, and **Leander** offer a slower pace of life, but with all the amenities you might need-supermarkets, medical facilities, and plenty of recreational areas. The homes here can be more affordable, and you can find modern designs that fit your preferences (single-story, high ceilings, spacious kitchens). - Austin is known for its vibrant culture and great climate, but these outlying areas give you peace and serenity without the city chaos. ### 3. **San Antonio (Stone Oak, Alamo Heights)** - **San Antonio** is another great option if you want to avoid the hectic pace of large cities like Miami. It’s a smaller city but still has everything you need. The **Stone Oak** and **Alamo Heights** neighborhoods are known for their upscale, peaceful vibes, and you’ll find many single-story homes in this area. San Antonio has a rich history, great weather, and the charm of a smaller city while offering everything from medical care to entertainment. ### 4. **Consider a Coastal Area in Texas (Corpus Christi, Galveston)** - If you enjoy a bit of coastal life, **Corpus Christi** or **Galveston** could be a good fit. These areas offer a more relaxed vibe, beautiful waterfront properties, and enough peace and quiet for a comfortable lifestyle. They’re not as large or chaotic as Miami, but they’re still near everything you need, like grocery stores and amenities. - Corpus Christi, especially, offers coastal views and a tranquil setting with smaller communities nearby, perfect for living without feeling crowded. ### What to Look For: - **Flood Zones:** Make sure to check FEMA flood zone maps for any property you're interested in to avoid unexpected challenges down the line. Even in Texas, certain areas are more prone to flooding, so it's good to know in advance. - **Healthcare Facilities:** You may want to stay close to hospitals and medical centers for your peace of mind, so make sure the area you choose has those options. - **Supermarkets and Daily Conveniences:** Houston, San Antonio, and Austin all have easy access to supermarkets and retail stores. - **Community Vibe:** Since you mentioned that you don’t want to live too close to a school or too far from amenities, look for suburban or semi-rural areas that provide space and tranquility but also offer proximity to stores and entertainment. ### Travel Plan and Exploration: - **Make a Visit:** I recommend traveling to these areas for a few days to get a feel of the neighborhoods and see if they match your preferences. Visiting in person will allow you to see the community, local amenities, and available homes firsthand. - **Look at Online Resources:** Websites like Zillow, Redfin, or Realtor.com can show you homes in various neighborhoods so you can explore options ahead of time. ### Next Steps: - If you’re ready to explore more specific homes and neighborhoods, I can help you narrow down the best options based on your budget, preferences, and lifestyle. Would you like me to recommend some specific neighborhoods to visit or more detailed home options? Feel free to share more, and we can start refining your search! Best of luck with your move, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you need more detailed recommendations or help planning your next steps! 😊

We appreciate the effort you invest in delivering such valuable content. Despite copycats attempting to imitate, there's no comparison to the authenticity and quality you bring to your audience.

[@CosmicTrekker]

Regarding the trees, a lot of people also are afraid of what may happen when those tropical storms and hurricanes come through there, so don't want to have a bunch of trees near their house. I love trees, but I really don't think I'd want them within falling distance of my house or having their branches flung towards me in 100+ mph winds. 😂

[@houstontexasliving33]

That's a very valid concern, especially when living in a region prone to tropical storms and hurricanes! Trees can definitely add beauty and shade, but when strong winds and storms hit, they can also pose risks. It's a good idea to balance your love for trees with practical considerations for safety, especially if you're moving to areas in Texas or the Gulf Coast. ### Tips to Safely Incorporate Trees Around Your Home: 1. **Tree Placement:** - While having trees around your home is lovely, make sure they're **far enough away** from the roofline, windows, or any structures that could be impacted if a tree falls or sheds large branches. A good rule of thumb is to keep trees at least **15-20 feet** from your home, and larger trees even further. 2. **Trim Regularly:** - **Tree maintenance** is key. Regular trimming to remove dead or weak branches, especially during storm season, can help reduce the risk of branches falling on your home. You can also remove any trees that are too close to your house or might be prone to uprooting during heavy winds. 3. **Tree Species:** - Some trees are better suited for hurricane-prone areas than others. **Hardwood trees** like oak, live oak, and hickory are sturdier than softwoods like pine, which are more prone to breaking in high winds. You can also look for **storm-resistant trees** or consult a local arborist to find options that are safer during severe weather. 4. **Hurricane-Resistant Landscaping:** - Along with tree placement, you can consider **hurricane-resistant landscaping** in general. This includes choosing plants that can withstand high winds and won't be easily uprooted or damaged. For example, low-growing shrubs and hedges are generally safer than tall, lanky plants. 5. **Avoid Trees Near Power Lines:** - You’ll also want to be cautious about having trees near power lines or utility lines. These can create additional hazards during storms, especially if branches break and cause outages or block roadways. ### Areas to Consider: If you're concerned about trees and storm damage, areas where homes are set farther back from large wooded areas or where newer homes are built with hurricane preparedness in mind (such as homes designed with reinforced roofs or impact-resistant windows) may be a better fit. Communities that have been designed with storm mitigation in mind will likely have more distance between homes and large trees, so it might be worth exploring **newer subdivisions** or homes with established landscaping that incorporates these factors. You might still be able to enjoy the beauty of trees from a distance by having them along property lines or in your backyard, but in such a way that they don’t pose any risk to the house during extreme weather. ### How to Balance: If you’re moving to a place like **Houston** or the **Gulf Coast**, finding a neighborhood where trees are a beautiful addition but don’t feel like a threat might be the perfect compromise! You could also consider **having a professional landscaper** design your outdoor space with this in mind, ensuring you have a safe and serene environment without compromising your safety in stormy conditions. Would you like help finding neighborhoods in Texas that balance nature and safety, or tips on more storm-ready homes? Let me know! 😊

The Grand Pkwy is truly amazing

[@CherylGramberg]

Great videos- thank you!

[@houstontexasliving33]

You're very welcome! 😊 We're so glad you enjoyed the videos! If you ever have any questions or want to see more content, feel free to reach out. We're always happy to help! 🙌

[@uzynagash]

These guys working hard 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@houstontexasliving33]

every week! wish i had these videos when i moved here!!

[@Oceanic710]

Love the videos. Could you guys do a video on The Creeks of Augusta pines? I don’t really see any videos about it done by anyone .

[@houstontexasliving33]

Thank you so much for the kind words! 😊 That's a great suggestion! **The Creeks of Augusta Pines** is definitely a hidden gem, and it's understandable that it doesn't have as much video content out there. It's always exciting to showcase lesser-known neighborhoods that might have a lot to offer. I can imagine a tour of the community would highlight the scenic beauty of the area, the family-friendly vibe, and the luxurious homes. With Augusta Pines being a golf course community, it could be perfect for those who love the outdoors and want a neighborhood with a more established feel. If you'd like, I can suggest some things that might be included in a video about The Creeks of Augusta Pines: - **Community Features**: Showcase the golf course, clubhouse, and any other amenities like parks, pools, or walking trails. - **Home Styles**: Highlight the types of homes in the area, whether they're modern, traditional, or a mix of both. Since this is a luxury neighborhood, there might be some really beautiful homes with a lot of character. - **Local Attractions**: Mention nearby shopping, dining, and recreation spots, especially if there are any that locals recommend. - **Location**: Explore the neighborhood's proximity to key areas like The Woodlands, which has a lot of amenities, and the ease of access to major highways for commuting. Let me know if you have any specifics you'd like to see in the video or questions about the area, and I'll make sure to pass them along to Jackson and Jojo! 😊

[@Just-Joyce4009]

Currently in Humble will be moving up to Wllis Republic Grand Ranch...pls talk about that..Thx

[@houstontexasliving33]

was just talking to JOJO about that it looks super interesting!

[@Msnanamac]

I booked a flight to TX to look at homes in Dallas and Houston. I cant decide which is better without being ever there.

[@irb378]

Houston is closer to the beach if that’s what you like. Dallas is not as flat.

[@houstontexasliving33]

That's so exciting! Both Dallas and Houston are fantastic cities, but they each have their own unique vibe, and it really depends on what you're looking for in a home and lifestyle. **Dallas** is known for its more modern feel, with a big emphasis on business, upscale shopping, and urban living. The city has plenty of cultural attractions, trendy neighborhoods, and a bustling nightlife. If you like a fast-paced lifestyle with a variety of entertainment options, Dallas could be a great fit! **Houston**, on the other hand, has a more laid-back, diverse atmosphere with a focus on family-friendly living. It offers tons of space, affordable housing, and a variety of neighborhoods, from urban to suburban. Houston is also known for its incredible food scene, and the weather is warmer for most of the year! If you're looking for a more relaxed pace with a lot of diversity, Houston might be the better choice. I’d recommend spending a little time in each city to get a feel for the neighborhoods, talk to locals, and see what feels more comfortable. Have you already looked into specific neighborhoods in either city? Let me know if you need more info on certain areas! 😊

Looking to move to houston soon, love to work with your team. Do you guys recommend or show the Pearland area?

[@houstontexasliving33]

That’s so exciting that you’re planning your move to Houston soon! We'd love to help you find the perfect home. 😊 Yes, Pearland is a fantastic area to consider! It's one of Houston's fastest-growing suburbs, offering a great mix of family-friendly neighborhoods, good schools, and easy access to the city. It has a lot of green spaces, parks, and trails, plus plenty of shopping and dining options. The area is also known for its affordable housing compared to central Houston, and it’s close to major highways, making it easy to commute to downtown or other parts of the city. We definitely recommend exploring Pearland if you're looking for a peaceful, suburban environment with all the conveniences nearby. Would you like to see more homes in Pearland or other surrounding areas like Sugar Land or Katy? Let us know how we can help! 😊

[@houstontexasliving33]

Ohhh and dont miss this saturdays show!! Dunham pointe!!! cant make it up!

[@michaelvasquez6895]

Dude, you're killing me, lol. The locals pronounce it {kirk n dial} or {kurk n dahl}. I have a Jewish friend who insists the name is that of a Jewish decent and the "proper" way to pronounce it is {kyke n dahl}. Either way, far from how you're currently prounouncing it. You're welcome... lol. I'll be reaching out soon, plan on moving back that way very soon.

[@CosmicTrekker]

It was named after a German immigrant from the 1800s who owned a lot of the land that it cuts through. The name is usually believed to be of Dutch origin. There are some who insist the pronunciation is "kyke n dahl" like you said, but like everything, where you come from sometimes dictates how you pronounced it ... Dutch, German, etc. I'm sure a lot of Texans go to California and get laughed at when they try to pronounce "Sepulveda". Or some people find it funny when people put "the" in front of numeric highway/freeway names. In the end, humans are all weird. 😂

[@houstontexasliving33]

Haha, thanks for the laugh! 😄 It sounds like there’s some good-natured debate about the pronunciation of **Kirkendall**, and I appreciate the clarification! I'll make sure to remember the correct way next time. I’m glad you're planning to move back this way soon-if you need any help with the process or finding the perfect place, feel free to reach out anytime! Looking forward to hearing from you soon! 🙌😊

Any new older folk or retirement communities, but not so much like the living dead and wheelchairs

[@houstontexasliving33]

I totally get what you mean-you’re looking for retirement or active adult communities that have a vibrant, engaging atmosphere, without the feeling of a "nursing home" vibe. There are actually several great communities near Houston that cater to older adults and offer a more dynamic and social lifestyle. Here are a few options that might be a great fit for you: 1. **Del Webb** (multiple locations around Houston, including in **Richmond** and **The Woodlands**) - Del Webb communities are designed for active adults, 55+, and they offer a great balance of recreational activities, social events, and home designs that suit downsizing or more comfortable living, but still with modern amenities. They have fantastic clubhouses, walking trails, and many other amenities that encourage an active lifestyle. 2. **The Village at The Woodlands Waterway** - This community is located in the heart of The Woodlands and offers a more independent, luxury lifestyle with a strong focus on social opportunities, fitness, and relaxation. It’s an upscale area that avoids the more clinical feeling of traditional retirement communities. 3. **Sienna Plantation** (in **Missouri City**) - A great option that has an active adult section, but it's much more than just a retirement community. There are walking trails, pools, and plenty of recreational spaces. It's also located near shopping, dining, and entertainment options, so you'll have a lot to do! 4. **Pulte Homes** - They also offer age-targeted communities for active adults that are integrated into larger developments, meaning you’re not isolated, but can still have the benefits of a quieter neighborhood. These communities typically feature activities like fitness centers, walking trails, golf courses, and clubs, so you'll never feel isolated. You get a great mix of independence, socializing, and access to various amenities that suit different lifestyles. Would any of these interest you, or are you looking for something a little more specific in terms of lifestyle? Let me know! 😊
