PROS & CONS Of Living In Houston Texas 2023 | Moving To Houston Texas | Houston Real Estate

Are you thinking about moving to Houston Texas? Let’s explore the PROS & CONS of Living in Houston Texas 2023 today!
Living in Houston Texas has its pros and cons. On the pro side, the city is known for its diverse population, world-class restaurants, and thriving music scene. With more than 2.3 million people living there, it’s no surprise that you can find something to do at any time of day or night. You’ll also have access to some of the best medical facilities in the country, thanks to world-renowned Texas Medical Center - home to one of the largest concentrations of healthcare institutions in the world in Houston Texas!
On the con side, Houston Texas is notorious for its hot summers (and sometimes humid winters!), and traffic woes are a common complaint among residents. If your job requires you to commute into downtown each day, prepare yourself for some long days in the car. In addition, Houston Texas is prone to flooding and its location on the Gulf makes it vulnerable to hurricanes. But on the plus side, living in a coastal city means you’re never too away from beautiful beaches!
So if you’re looking for a vibrant and diverse city with plenty of cultural attractions and great medical care, Houston Texas may be the right fit for you - just be ready to embrace the heat (and traffic!).
If you’re thinking about moving to Houston Texas be sure to give me a call, shoot me a text, send me an email, or schedule a Zoom call. I’d love to help you make a smooth move to Houston Texas!

Wow you just described Florida except you get more house for the money in Texas thank you 👌

[@livinginhouston6775]

Florida was one of the states we consider relocating to. Thank you as well!

[@whatsyourdream]

It is like Florida in that we have beaches like Galveston, Port Bolivar, down to Port Aransas and Corpus Christi. It's much more sprawling than there however. So transportation and heat are another major difference. We don't have gators too much though we do have a quite a few. The main difference is safety.

[@JerryNoel]

Great video 👍🏽👍🏽 "I don't need food to live" lol

[@livinginhouston6775]

Thank You!

Nice video!

Thank You!

Great video! I’m in Spring and yes 99 is out here!

[@livinginhouston6775]

Thank you Lori! I thought 99 was out that way ,but I have yet to have to use it.

[@camronwilliams]

Keep it up man

[@livinginhouston6775]

Thanks, will do!

[@raindancer3330]

I bought my house 27yrs ago 58k 15 minutes from downtown. I think when I last saw the house was almost at 200k. You can't find anything for that price. It would be a hole! The house is 3 bedroom 1 1/2 bathroom dining room kitchen dining area and a large den. We did not flood. Thank the LORD. Make sure when you buy house it is not level to the street. When I bought the house this man said stay here your house will go up in value you are straight shot to downtown. He thought light rail would come through here, that was 27 years ago, no light rail yet, hope not.

[@livinginhouston6775]

That’s is why real estate is one of the best investments you can make.

[@Sassquatch713]

The weather sucks and the traffic is horrible.

[@livinginhouston6775]

You are right. They both can be challenging at times.

[@lindaohia6938]

The homes used to be cheap now it is out of control. The groceries and gas is a lot cheaper though. The weather is miserable!

[@livinginhouston6775]

Unfortunately Linda home prices are up through out the country. Mostly due to low inventory. The weather lately has been hot as usual.

[@HighRisk10]

Thank you enjoyed the vid. Leaving the fort cavazos area next year and thinking to move there to work at the VA. Do you have any recommendations for hosuing near the VA regional office?

[@livinginhouston6775]

Yes I do! Depending on your budget and your needs. I can schedule a call to further discuss exactly what you maybe looking for.

[@johnchadderdon8111]

Texas medical center is the biggest in the world. The port is the biggest in the country

[@livinginhouston6775]

You are right Houston have the biggest medical center in the world,but there are a few ports that are bigger for example LA has the biggest port as far as tonnage. Houston is around number 4 or 5, but great add.

[@judahlion2067]

Bipolar weather im used to i like in Georgia

[@livinginhouston6775]

The weather in Georgia I hear isn’t that much different then here in Houston.

[@TCSTL378]

That drive from League City to Conroe was at least a 2 hour drive 😂😂😂

[@livinginhouston6775]

😂 I showed a few homes in Conroe about a month ago and it took me an hour 10mins with no traffic! It is definitely a hike from League City.

[@oscarlozano9986]

Hi. Nice video. Where can I get statistics to help me? Decide where in Houston to live? For example, crime, flooding, Schools, Traffic accidents etc etc. Then I might even contact you next week

[@livinginhouston6775]

Hi! I can help you with getting more statistics information regarding Houston. Are you looking for statistics regarding Houston Proper (meaning inside the loop) or a particular suburb?

[@deplorablechump8758]

Love Texas, but there’s not many things in Houston or in Texas that would make me stay long term.

[@livinginhouston6775]

Thanks for the feedback! Do you currently live in Houston or Texas?

[@deplorablechump8758]

@@livinginhouston6775 No. Considered it. Visited a couple of times. Decided not to.

[@livinginhouston6775]

Gotcha!

[@walterarriaga3059]

Hey need help planing to get a home next year and wnna know where i stand

[@livinginhouston6775]

Hi Walter, we would love to help you with that. Our contact information is in our description and we can schedule a time to discuss your needs regarding a future home.

[@UrbanOutlaw713]

hwy6 /1960 is the third loop

[@livinginhouston6775]

Unfortunately Hwy6/1960 does not go through out the city of Houston. Hwy6/1960 does run through southwest to Cypress/Spring.

[@ZachSchulz]

So far only pro's I have seen since I moved here a little over a year ago is gas and food prices and the gun laws. other than that it is Awful!!! we are rolling out soon a we can!

[@livinginhouston6775]

Sorry to hear that but what do you consider awful? And I’m not trying to change your mind but just want to get feedback.

[@Zarcon2008]

Do not come you will absolutely hate it. Traffic, Heat, Mosquitos, and Crime. Do not come you will hate it... guaranteed.

[@livinginhouston6775]

Thank you for your feedback! Most places around the globe have pro and cons. Houston has so much to offer and would be an upgrade for a lot of people.

[@UrbanOutlaw713]

the congestion is from all the new people we dont want here

[@livinginhouston6775]

Like most thing with growth you will have challenges. People relocating to Houston will not be slowing down no time soon. It is one of the most affordable major cities in the country.

[@fionaryder2214]

I'm strongly considering moving there from Cali but I'm afraid that the locals don't want Californians moving there. I've seen a lot of comments like "don't come here"...But I'm a Christian and right-leaning moderate and really appreciate that it's a red state, and really feel like I'll relate more to people in Texas than I do in California..definitely not trying to vote blue in TX and turn it into another CA like people are saying. I'm an artist and read that there's a healthy art scene there and a lot of high income individuals which gives me hope for finding art collectors that I genuinely connect with and making some real friends. I'm just so sick of the CA politics, high rent, plastic/fake people etc. I'm pretty much leaving it up to God and if it's meant to be it will be.

[@livinginhouston6775]

Sorry Fiona that I’m just now seeing your post ,but I have not heard of many people complaining about Californians relocating to Texas. As far as the Art scene go, I have seen growth within in the Houston area.

[@omarp.3929]

Just ignore them because Houston is a melting pot of various cultures, at least around 257 people move here everyday. Just make sure to have a car, a job lined up, and extra money just incase things happen.

[@Andrembramwell]

"I'm just so sick of the CA politics, high rent, plastic/fake people etc." tbh its not better in texas lol im trying to move to CA because i would get paid double there and the rent is the EXACT same. I pay $2100 downtown houston and rent in Santa Monica is $2000 a month but employers here do not want to pay you the big bucks. House near downtown? You need 1.2 million house in the hollywood hills is 1.5 and appreciates faster. Sure you could go all the way out to katy but its far and it sucks out there unless you want to hang out at walmart and bars every weekend.

[@lindaohia6938]

@@Andrembramwell when you pay $7 + a gallon for gas you might change your mind. Not to mention the higher prices for groceries 🤔

[@frankrizo5387]

You take this guy's word for it? Stay where you are.

[@greadore]

A con you didn’t mention is increased crime.

[@livinginhouston6775]

Yes! If you are referring to Houston proper but not the greater Houston area.

[@greadore]

@@livinginhouston6775 yes, I was talking about Houston proper.

[@livinginhouston6775]

Agreed!

[@dannyd3394]

Yeah now I see why crime is barely down to many people keep moving here

[@WazzyTV]

as a black man like you I want to move there..but what are the black demographics in Houston

[@livinginhouston6775]

Hispanic (44.8%) followed by White (23.6%) and Black (22.0%).

[@WazzyTV]

@@livinginhouston6775 is mostly Hispanic.. I thought it was black Mecca of America mostly blacks

[@UrbanOutlaw713]

super bad advice for hurricaines u definitly not from here

[@livinginhouston6775]

I have grew up here in the Houston area all of my life. In particular by the coast so dealing with storms I truly know but if you have better advice please give us some of your thoughts.

[@cjthompson420]

I agree. Harvey hit near corpus but we rained for 4 days. I was stuck in water for 3 days until I could leave luckily my car was in a parking garage but I was level 1 in Meyer land apartments. So much flooded despite not having a direct hit. What party? Bruh clearly did nothing to help anyone else either during recovery. I lost everything and still went out to help people. These are the kind of people that move to Texas and don’t have any southern compassion or thought for anyone else 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@livinginhouston6775]

I believe you did not listen to the video clearly! I stated some people have Hurricane parties. Also I lived in the Houston are my whole life and grew up off the coast,so I have help people with gutting homes, relocating, and providing food. I think your comment is more specific to your situation not the greater Houston area.

[@cjthompson420]

@@livinginhouston6775 No it isn’t. Most of the city flooded that had never flooded prior nor was it in a flood zone. FEMA had to redraw the maps after Harvey. You know little about anything Houston related.

[@livinginhouston6775]

I think your response to my comment does make any since. Certain area of Houston has always had issues with flooding I.E Meyerland. Due to Houston area growth and lack of infrastructure regarding drainage some areas where hit hard then others. Harvey was definitely a huge impact on the Houston area and I’m not trying to make lite of the devastation.
