Moving to Spring Texas - What I LOVE and HATE about Living in Spring Texas

Thinking about moving to Spring Texas? In this video, I share my honest opinion on 5 things I love and 5 things I hate about living in Spring Texas. Before you relocate to the Houston suburb of Spring Texas watch this video for insights from a local.
Things I love about living in Spring is the food scene. From local diners to fine dining restaurants from sushi to tex-mex to BBQ to Chinese to Greek food, the area has a diverse range of options.
Another aspect I love about Spring Texas is low cost of living. Housing, healthcare, gas, food and grocery are all below the national averages. Watch this video on the cost of living in Spring Texas ➡️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2itdn5uf9qriqc
I love the warmer temperatures in Spring Texas. In the winter our average low temperatures are in the low to mid 40s. It's much easier to drive in heat and humidity than snow and ice.
Number 1 thing I hate about living in Spring Texas is the traffic. How wonderful of a place Spring Texas is to live has gotten out. Recently we have welcomed lots of newcomers into the area from California, Utah, Washington, New York, New Jersey and Illinois.
Another thing I hate about living in Spring Texas is the lack of four seasons. I miss the four seasons. We seem to have only two seasons ... hot and hotter.
Spring Texas is a great place to live, but like every place it has its pros and cons.

[@discoverspringtexas]

Thank you, Hunter. Glad you received value from watching it.

[@HoustonMortgageLender]

Great Video Jill! I live in Spring as well and you are spot on! :)

[@discoverspringtexas]

Thanks for watching, Peter.

[@k.watson8100]

I've been in Spring, TX nearly two decades. I live one exit from The Woodlands, TX. I agree the property taxes and water bill are too high. Also, needs better zoning regulations. Otherwise, its a good place for me.

[@discoverspringtexas]

Agree !!!

[@franklincarrerominsters]

Traveling to Spring today to see houses!

[@discoverspringtexas]

Great! Let me know if I can be of assistance

[@marcomoscoso408]

My dear. You are making me hungry And making me exited to move to spring Texas

[@discoverspringtexas]

Welcome to Texas. The food is fabulous with an abundance of options.

[@payasitarosita]

I was drooling with all the food places you mentioned. Planning to move soon near Houston area, from Athens, Pa (an extremely small nothing to do town). The weather is not going to be a surprise for me since I was born and raised in PR. I'm not a friend of winter, snow and shoveling. First year was exciting, not happening anymore 🤣

[@discoverspringtexas]

There's an abundance of great food options in the Spring Texas area. If I could I would eat out every night.

[@payasitarosita]

@@discoverspringtexas Speaking about a house I have found one in the area, very close to it are huge tanks from Harris County WCID (close to Jenkins elementary school). Have you heard any issues or complaints from the residents in that area? (flooding, foul smell, loud noises, etc) I'm looking for news, posts but can't find anything. However, noticed the house has been listed for a while.

[@discoverspringtexas]

@@payasitarosita the mud water tanks / processing areas do smell at times. The majority of the flooding in the area occurs when our creeks, gullies, and bayous go outside their boundaries.

[@syedrahman9568]

We just signed the contract to relocate from fl to spring tx

[@discoverspringtexas]

Welcome Spring Texas. I hope you LOVE living here ❤❤

[@t1960h]

Hello, my wife and I have been considering moving to the Houston area from Washington state and Volvo. We’re not 100% sure yet Spring Texas is one of those locations we would be interested in. Could you tell me if there is a good part of spring area to focus on and e An area that we should stay away from. Ty. Harry and Tina

[@danielaburke9360]

I am still trying to figure out how property’s taxes work. Sometimes when I check the tax history in a home, some years are very high and others very low. What is the cause of this fluctuation?

[@discoverspringtexas]

The taxes could be very low due to the property not being 100% completed. The taxes would then similar significantly higher the next year in comparison as construction was completed. The homeowner could protest his tax assessed value bringing the taxes down in comparison to other years.

[@percentile8619]

are there any public transportation, from spring to downtown Houston?

[@discoverspringtexas]

Yes - there's a metro bus that goes into downtown Houston. The ridemetro.org website has the routes, schedules, and fares

[@24AVR]

How do mortgage insurance rates compare to Dallas?

[@discoverspringtexas]

Mortgage insurance rate is similar. How much you will be paying in mortgage insurance will be dependent on your down payment and the value of the house. IN December 2021, the median home price in Spring was $305k.

[@katieporter6487]

Is this a good place to raise a family? We are considering relocating to TX from MN and have 5 kids, ranging in age from 2-14 and are looking for great schools, safe communities/low crime rates, great community feel as some of our top priorities. Also looking for a competitively rated HS football program for our son.

[@discoverspringtexas]

Spring is a great place to raise a family. You can check out more information on the neighborhoods on our website at discoverspringtexas.com/spring-texas-neighborhoods/#st-map. Spring is comprised of three public school districts (Conroe, Klein, and Spring). You can check out the ratings for the school districts at rptsvr1.tea.texas.gov/perfreport/account/acct_srch.html

[@paulalopez2758]

I just relocated from another state, I am torn between Spring and Katy. Which is better? Financially, traffic, employment, school?

[@discoverspringtexas]

Welcome to Texas. Both areas have good schools. Traffic depends upon where you are working at. Spring has more mature trees than Katy. Major plus for Spring is its close proximity to the Woodlands. My recommendation is to drive around both areas and see which area feels like it will fit your lifestyle best

[@paulalopez2758]

@@discoverspringtexas Hello, I took your recommendation, we loved spring just as much as Katy. I had interview in both cities but we decided to go for Katy. We also tried Crust pizza it was so good!! we will be going back for pizza. Thank you for your recommendations.

[@discoverspringtexas]

@@paulalopez2758 Glad you found the place that feels right for you. Crust and Grimaldi's are my two favorite pizza joints in the Spring area. Thank you for watching.

[@tahirawynn1346]

are there any country parts of spring?

[@discoverspringtexas]

No. There are no parts of Spring that I would consider to be country. I consider Spring to be a suburb of Houston. Where Spring ends Tomball or The Woodland begins. Years ago there were country parts to Spring but now development and population growth has taken over.

[@analycasti]

Do you experience severe weather like tornados, flooding, or similar?

[@discoverspringtexas]

Rarely do we experience tornados. Some areas in Spring do experience flooding. When considering a home's location, I recommend you check the home's flood plain. The majority of flooding occurs near the creeks and bayous.

[@crystaldon4995]

What neighborhood has a little bit of land in Spring? Maybe .3 or more?

[@discoverspringtexas]

The Spring Creek Forest neighborhood has large lots.

[@crystaldon4995]

Did that area flood? I do not want a home that's flooded.

[@discoverspringtexas]

@@crystaldon4995 No, Spring Creek Forest did not flood during Harvey.

[@hlixio]

What about Magnolia, TX.. what are your thoughts on that area?

[@discoverspringtexas]

Magnolia is further out than Spring and offers less traffic than Spring. Lots of new construction taking place in the Magnolia area. The area is quickly growing. Magnolia offers more a rural feel than Spring

[@franklincarrerominsters]

How is the school!

[@discoverspringtexas]

Spring has 3 school districts - Spring, Klein, and Conroe. The Klein and Conroe school districts have similar good ratings. The ratings for the Spring school district aren't as stellar as Klein and Conroe.

[@franklincarrerominsters]

@@discoverspringtexas what is your thoughts on Gleanloch Farms school district? Is that Klein ISD

[@discoverspringtexas]

@@franklincarrerominsters Gleannloch Farms is zoned to Klein ISD. Great school district. Gleannloch Farms is one of our sought after master planned communities

[@franklincarrerominsters]

@@discoverspringtexas how is your schedule to show some houses on Wednesday at your convenience?

[@discoverspringtexas]

@@franklincarrerominsters I have availability in the morning on Wednesday. You can reach me at 281.804.8626 and we can work out the details.

[@yosquidd242]

The plan is this, the next white flight movement will be to the north of Lake Conroe and to the north of Lake Livingston. The water released from these lakes as it is practiced is ludicrous. Why not build a westward canal to send the water every spring and summer to Arizona or to the Colorado River. The destruction of flooding causes can be mitigated while the water could be put to agricultural uses the world uses and needs tremendously. It may be more cost-effective to build water moving canals than to dredge and clean Bayous of grown mature trees, vehicles and dumped cement and such materials throughout the city and counties. The ideas are multiple. Save the greater Houston area from unnecessary grief. Soon the Trinity river will be always out of its banks from Dallas to Baytown, the Old Lost River will be reborn sooner than later.
