beautiful home and awesome video!
2 best things about Houston; 1) The food!! Second only to NYC. 2) The people. Diversity is great, but seriously, Houstonians are just nice.
Do video on downtown condos
Texans are awesome, please don't turn blue our Texas!
I’m worried about the high property tax.
The little fast moving jumping spiders are cute and eats flies and skeeter, great to have around your yard
where did u find the intro music...? let it play longer...
People should try living in LA, or Sacramento. Talk about a lot of people. It would take me 1 hour to get 6-7 miles.
Been here a year. Loathe it entirely. But grateful that I'm moving to Phoenix.
Nasa was awesome
I am worry the electricity bill can we install the solar panel?
Been here 41 years. Love My City. Things happen everywhere. We are the most diverse city and I love it. A place where Whites,Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Nigerians etc can get along. Of course u have an a-hole in EVERY race but there are a lot of decent people here.
Agreed, we sure miss those International Festivals that use to be held in the downtown area annually. We attended those as often as possible. Was great for the kids and those who want to learn about other interesting cultures.
Blacks and Nigerians?
E
I did not like driving in Houston it was chaotic.
What about solar panels to reduce power bills? We need some informations about that in Houston
I lived by the galleria and the crazy traffic there was to much for me that and the humidity
Again sales
I really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos and the podcast. I watch and listen to both. We will be reaching out to you and your team for assistance as time approaches for our move. Moving is a bear, especially from coast to coast and your wealth of information helps tremendously!
You are right about this summer, it has been the hottest on record. Coming from someone who moved to Houston 4 years ago, the road rage/violent & aggressive driving is the worst thing about living here. The museums/culture/fun events are the best things. **EDITS** for the comments: 1. I have never seen a gator other than way across the water at a state park. 2. We treat our home monthly with pesticide bought at Home Depot...that takes care of the bugs. 3. I have only seen a tiny snake in my yard once that was non venomous. But out in nature, at parks, you have to be on lookout for cotton mouths, etc. They want to stay away from you, too, don't worry. 4. Heavy rain while driving is common. You will learn the areas to avoid. When it happens, I exit the freeway or pullover. The rain typically doesn't last long. Not every area floods. I live in Memorial area and it doesn't flood here. We *do* lose our power often!
Good words exactly my thoughts
Where do road rages happen mostly? Are there particular areas to avoid? Normal road rage (getting the honk and the middle finger) is one thing but here in California the guns come out and people shoot each other. Is it like that in Houston?
NOW do you all believe in climate change?
Home Depot does custom blinds you can also get window tints lots of places have privacy window tinting
when ppl say don't go there. Everybody goes there even if you say so dangerous 😂
I'm a native Texan, and I will say that compared to Houston 20 yrs ago, it has grown scary. Awesome city, but not all the scary comes from native Texans. Congestion, longer commutes, and the hottest year ever, are not helping. As a Texan, we are a friendly people, but I think we are being pushed into the edge of our patience levels. God bless all who live in the Lone Star State, and be respectful to one another.
We also produce the biggest assholes in the nation.
If you move to Texas the left lane is the fast lane. If you are only going the speed limit PULL OVER to the right lane. But really we don’t want you here .
Just bought a house in The Woodlands, Sterling Ridge. Leaving California, don't look back!
Nice!
That’s a beautiful area! I moved last year from CA and I love the woodlands
Texas people don't like people from California just a heads up
@@2473-l4b Thanks for the heads up, but I'm not like the people from California, that's why I'm leaving.
@@Kay-bz3co awesome!
I love Houston but I have to agree
I'm an O+ blood filled person. All mosquitoes will hunt me down
The only thing worse than moving here is being born here.
I moved to Houston, from Cleveland, Ohio, back in '68. Houston has changed so much since I first arrived, but that's what I like about it. This is one truly amazing town. I LOVE the heat. After 50 years, I went back to Cleveland for a high school reunion. I'm SO glad I came to Houston. The arts scene in Houston is the BEST. We have the 2nd largest theater district only to New York. We have the world's largest medical center. Best of all, Houston's attitude is awesome. People are so friendly. We are the world's largest small town. Yes, Houston is an hour from Houston, but, it's a wonderful city. I live in Sugar Land, and life truly is sweeter there. Love my Houston.
Wow a shout out from you...I feel special! Solar Screens truly truly work!!!
Watched your videos before moving here a year ago and still watch them now. You’re spot on! I work from home so no issues with traffic accept there is traffic at random times on random hwys.. lol. From Chicago so I know traffic but I love the heat. This summer was brutal and I got tired of the heat but kept thinking about the cold and snow and this will beat that. But it’s hot!! The bugs are crazy! And yes look at the neighborhood and what you want out of a community before looking at homes. I’m in an apartment hoping to purchase a home in the next two years and this is the best advice. Find the community first
I say move please
Loved my experience in Humble with my son and family.
We full - houston
I been here a yr and a half from Kansas City, Mo.
The RAINNNNNNNNNNN!
Is so 😧scary!!!
And the crazy drivers!!! I live in the Cypress area!!!
This video is like: Telling a woman to be accountable and the next breath you are asking them to marry you: REALITY THINGS TO HATE ABOUT HOUSTON: LEVYS.(the city will release water into the neighborhhoods and flood areas to release pressure on the Levys) POWER LOSES WHEN IT RAINS, NO NATURAL GAS RESOURCES FOR RESIDENTS(MOST HOMES ARE ELECTRIC). no basements because its floods every year( the freeway floods every year also)Crime is a problem..It has a gang problem..Racists state. Republicans remove black history from schools..Last but not least( driver's will make a complete stop on the freeway to change lanes).
I’m a 9th generation Texan, and I am very curious as to why y’all want to live waaay out in Kingwood, Katy, etc.. your beat bet would be in Pearland Alvin or Clear Lake (that’s where NASA mission control is). Your car insurance is also cheaper outside of Houston proper. There are medical complexes everywhere, but the TMC is the number one medical center in the world. There is no fall here. August, September and going into November are the worst of the worst, plus it’s hurricane season until December. If y’all are bound and determined to move here, be sure you learn about the different terrains and the climates. Lubbock is a nice size city with an excellent medical center and where Texas Tech is located. College Station is also a beautiful mid side city, and home to A&M. As far as the EADO goes ( stands for East of downtown), it is in a gentrification process. My son has three houses there.Lots of flips there. The Height are lovely, but the priced have soared lately. The Montrose is also a fantastic area, it is the heart of LGBT community just remember HOuston is HUGE, we are the third largest city in the states. We have a true “melting pot “ of all ethnicities and cultures, and we love it! Good Luck!
All things true, and Houston is still HEAVILY segregated. So find your niche.
The most unfriendly people ever …. And my car insurance doubled moving here from Illinois. And I live in the woodlands . People here just don’t like outsiders look at you saying you’re a 9th generation Texan . The moment you say you’re not native people start their rudeness . 😂The only reason I’m here is because my son is a physician at the med center and we wanted to be near his family . I’d rather be back in good old McHenry county Illinois
Ummmmmm so many things I could say...... I'll just leave it as ppl have different wants and needs and passing judgment on someone's advice from their 1st person experiences just tells everyone else reading your comments how ignorant and hypocritical you are.
@@laurenshanahan6652not my experience moving here from NJ.
I moved here after getting out of the military because I wanted to own real estate. I am originally from New York City but I moved here from San Diego I hate this place (Houston) with every ounce of my body. The weather is absolutely garbage. There’s nothing to do but go to the mall, eat and drink excessively (explains all the obesity). There is no beauty in this city. Drivers are aggressive and my car insurance went up because folks can’t drive like courteous normal people. This place is super ghetto and dangerous with all the shootings that occur. The entire city is a ghetto, dangerous shithole. I’m going back to California. This place is garbage.
Why this guy is trashing Houston all the time or RUclips algorithm just directing me him trashing Houston?
The shade store is good also
Your videos are so helpful. Thank you for taking time doing this. Can you talk about flooding zones. Planning to move to Texas and so worry about flood. I don’t know how bad it get and the areas to avoid
Never living in a major city
TRAFFIC, HEAT, HUMIDITY, HURRICANES, TRAFFIC
Love my city, it beats all other ones by far. Acclimating to every facet of this city is the key.
You moved here about the same time. We came from Vegas so heat wasn't an issue! We love it here and have grown custom ro all you've mentioned! Nature walks amongst the city it's so awesome!
I do mobile detailing, worry about the heat and raining all week plus hurricane, planning on moving to Katy. Coming from Indiana.
Don't Katy is to crowded. They have water restrictions can't even water grass. Personally Pearland is better 😉
@@williambrucesanders6878 it’s between katy,cypress or spring. But thanks for the heads up, need to check what are the restrictions on doing mobile detailing in those neighborhoods
can you do a video about moving to texas apartments prices and looking for Job. Im moving before the year ends and would love to know about moving finding apartment and work for someone with no degree. Thank you
Decided to drop by after moving here after watching so much of ya'lls content last year. I agree 100 percent with all said in this video. I am however very happy to have purchased a newer home with an upgraded "thermal pkg" per Lennar. My bills have been actually cheaper than our CA house of 1500 sqft in the summer vs here with a 3500sqft/pool equipment this summer! Loving it here but yeah, the weather this summer has been brutal. HOT AF like you said, but now just dumping rain. Basically... no fun right now lol.
We live in the west Houston area, have a nice 4 bedroom house with a AC/Heat system newly installed (to replace the old one that quit completely) several years ago, the installers also sprayed foam insulation completely in our attic. Keep my thermostat set on 78 degrees F. Bill from Reliant energy averages only $155 per month during the summer, even less than that during the winter. Plus where we live, we've been safe (so far) from the flooding the Houston metro area is well known for, even during Hurricane Harvey the water never got beyond the sidewalk in front of our yard coming toward our house.
We are in Jersey Village (for 3 years but we are native HISD Houstonians) - do you remember who you used for the attic insulation? Hubby is price checking to get our 1972 one story done. Thx!!!
What company did you use for solar blinds. Thanks
I want to know too. I can’t find the company he talks about
Best video I have seen on Houston to give people reasons not to move here 😂👍
Getting ready to relocate to the Houston area. Love your content
hi thanks for the video. I dont worry about the hot weather because in greece it is worst But I wonder about my english level
Very helpful videos.
The BEST thing to invest in are solar screens
*No building permites needed to build a home! Just start nailing wood. I LOVE HUSTON! FREEDOM*
I'm sure Houston is great but I Pretty sure I'll go crazy from all the flatness. I just feel like I can tolerate Florida's flatness easier For some reason I guess because it hugs gorgeous beaches
Teddy-Cat took care of our first snake that dared enter the abode. He was very proud of himself.
Did you get the pool installed or was it there when you purchased
The thing I hate the most about down there is the hurricanes
Looking to move to north Houston, want a few acres with no restrictions close to a decent high school. Thinking Conroe or Tomball. What is your thoughts? Thanks for all the info. Not worried about heat or bugs 😆
Check out Magnolia too
@@Tara_thatonegirl All 3 of these are nice places
They are nice areas, but with the rapid growth that is happening, consider the traffic. Even in outlying areas, a jaunt to the freeway (59 or 45) can be challenging in or around rush hour.
Tomball maybe Conroe no thank you
@@jasonmurdoch9936 why no to Conroe? Just curious as I am not very familiar with these areas. Trying to gather all the info I can. Thanks!
3rd largest? When did it overtake Chicago?
It didn't, at least not yet.
Out and about, love it!!! Great video, I'm seen little gators, and a cotton mouth, SNAKES!!! I don't like that part lol 😱😄
You want the truth, Houston is one of the worst cities in the United States!
I’ve lived in three different states, but Houston is something different.
Terrible road, thieves, dangerous، shooting and people don’t respect the law! Even the best parts in it are bad!
It’s also getting more expensive.
Not good place to raise a family.
People moving here from everywhere and most of them with low income, stealing or drug dealers.
^^
That’s not just my opinion that fact everyone I met here said the same.
Ohh
Great video and info on H town thanks for sharing… keep up the good work…👌🏽👍🙌🏼😃😃
Love your videos! Looking to move to Texas here at some point. Tired of freezing to death during these 7 month long winters here in Northern Nevada and it’s crazy expensive to live here. Still trying to figure out where a good fit would be for my family.
I have been in Houston since 2013, the things to hate about Houston the traffic and if it ever floods outside of that you’ll enjoy the people the food and trust me you will never run out of stuff to do, when you think you’ve seen or done everything more people move here and more things pop up to do. Also Houston downtown is amazing the part of the city the man in the video is in is 3rd ward lol not sure why he called it what he did but maybe they’re trying to rebrand it because the area was a bit run down before the past 7 years when they’ve redeveloped it. The area is Amazing just know slot of social media influencers and mix crowds of ages and races go there and you would love it. I am from memphis Tennessee and now I am a full blown Texan and I love it and I work outside as a ups driver the heat gets to a lot of people but trust me you’ll have so much fun you won’t even notice it and summer time in texas is amazing come on down you all will love it.
well was thinking about it...but i forgot about that dreaded HUMIDITY...omg not going to be able to do it...staying put...Cali Love from Sactown...2023.
Good decision. The heat and humidity is unbearable. I'm moving from Houston to Rocklin, CA in February 2026.
*$600.00 for Electricity?? LOL, how cheap Is that all? I live in Southern California and the SCE power bill here is charging me $.38 a KWh! $2000.00 per month with and that's with my thermostat is set at 80F!!!*
I want to move there so bad but in the suburb of Houston then I want to move to Miami but the hurricanes then Charleston SC so idk yet.
So, you're spraying your house with pesticides twice a day, everyday?
Property taxes and HOA fees are killers!
I’ve noticed that in Texas, nobody has their pools screened in. I’d think with reptiles, bugs and humidity, you’d want a little protection. Is there a reason why in Florida most pools are screened and in Texas almost none are?
I was told cause they are mosquitoes more also alligators 🐊
Hou about a review of pearland? How good or bad is it?
Houston was rough compared to Austin.
In 1975, I got stuck in Hawaii for the whole day at a Naval base, and I hated Hawaii. Now I am living in Houston and the weather is the same as Hawaii.
🇨🇦😎 I am moving to Texas. I have some weather from -40c to 40c so I have had the humidity in Ottawa Canada. Thinking 1.7 % Land that can be farmland or even Commercial that you can live at.
Hey Dan, did you end up moving to Texas from Ottawa? I’m from Alberta and we are thinking of moving to Texas
@@jpichet6999 got my RV and packing up for a nice Texas vacation.
Planning on moving to Texas this winter. Not too crazy about the property taxes. Probably the only thing I can think a about that I dont like. I am going to rent at first and buy something in the next few years.
moved here for college, hate the weather and the crime and the dirtiness
I love my city
I'm living in a Pacific country right now and would like to relocate to Houston Taxes.
Don't do it the weather is horrible
I thought you from Oregon!
Cool, you from Idaho, I was thinking about moving to Boise next year, is it better than here!?
I’m very pale and A+ blood type. I can’t escape any type of biting bug😢
Come visit me at Chicago Title SE across from 8th wonder ! Your right by us! I also work at chicago
Bugs I'm worried about
YES PLEASE DO NOT MOVE HERE!!! WE DON'T NEED ANYMORE TRAFFIC OR CRIME. WE ARE AT CAPACITY
Question off topic what are your pros and Cons living in Humble and Kingwood ? Looking to move soon hopefully and I also been looking in Spring I have 4 little ones and two grown kids 21 and 19 years old but we are very active in sports I need your personal opinion please whenever you get chance thank you so much for all your help 🎉😊
Considering moving soon. Being nearish a good hospital/medical complete is very important for us. Would you do a vlog about this subject? Thanks.
Check out Friendswood / Webster / Clear Lake / League city / Kemah / Seabrook, all within 15 miles of the Clear lake / Webster area medical center: UTMB (2 campuses), HCA, Memorial Hermann
I'm in Milwaukee, kind of sick of all the crime and democrat policies. Milwaukee and Madison are ruining this state. Thinking of moving to Texas, maybe Houston. I want to be near a business park with manufacturing jobs to avoid freeway traffic. How are the winters? I am sick of snow. Taxes low? I'm going to start watching more of your vids.
The fact that you think a diverse and Democratic voting city such as Houston will favor your wingnut tastes is hilarious. Maybe try a backwoods trailer town in Mississippi. Plenty of people just like you there.
I jacked my a/c up to like 75 during the days after we got our first bill in our new house in Kingwood and said the same thing as you about being excited about how much I was gonna save on the bill. Anyways the next months bill came and it was more than when I had it set at 70😡 we definitely need more attic insulation.
I appreciate all your videos! We are trying to move to Kingwood by June! We are coming from the PNW and I’m worried about fresh water swimming options, we have a river right up the road from us that we hit up a lot in the summer! It would be cool to do a video on local swimming spots…besides community pools, I’m worried about gators!
Lake Houston is part of Kingwood and gators are part of the lake, just a heads up 👍
Assume all fresh water in Texas has gators. Also. Assume all saltwater in Texas has gators. Yes gators show up on the beach. But don’t worry about the gators or even snakes it’s the ants and skeeters that get ya.
@@ryanupchurch9683 I guess my question kind of ran together with my fear...lol I realize there will be gators and snakes, I was just curious where everyone goes swimming besides local pools, like Devil's Waterhole, Lake Longhorn, TONKAWA FALLS etc, or any cool other areas to swim
About your windows, so what do they put on the windows? Is it the same thing as if you go buy those window films which are basically the same thing and probably cheaper?
I'm not worried about the heat in Houston as a matter of fact it's one of the things that appealed to me because I don't like being cold and I'm on the East Coast lived in New York moved to Georgia Atlanta area and now in Charlotte I want some heat what I'm most concerned about are the critters and creepy crawlies please can we talk about that!
How much did you pay for the tint?
Why do you all show a video that shows free flowing traffic on Lake Houston -it's not like this normally anywhere. Going to doctor appointments off 288 and OST takes 45 minutes from central Houston, coming back - especially at 5 - forget it! You guys are selling, not truly dealing the truth!

Hello, I am moving to Houston after graduation. I have a nursing recruiter who is working with me; however, I want to know about the transport and suburbs around the hospitals or nearby to help me decide if this is going to work for me. What type of entertainment and stores are in these suburbs and the culture of them.
I thought Chicago was the 3rd largest city
600 dolar is 30 days is too much. I PAY 100 DOLLARS a month .
I am from Montana, can't take the cold and snow anymore. Looking to move to West Texas maybe Odessa, Midland area. My Concern is water shortages and areas high crime. What is the difference between the west side of Texas and Houston Area.?
Hey!! North Idaho girl here. We are moving to north Houston next year.
West Texas seems like a hot dry desert and more border traffic.
Come to Houston where you have palm trees and no snow storms!
F the snow!! 😎
@@Tara_thatonegirl uhh remember the freeze ? That was snow
Midland/ Odessa is where the oil fields are. The air there makes my nose and eyes burn. The housing options are limited and expensive due to many places being geared towards short-term rentals for the oilfield workers.
midland texas heat is horrible and there are sandy storms , you have to wash your car everyday because it is a dusty city and oil ridges everywhere, thrash litters the city... and social life is dead. Just do yourself a favor and move to houston texas, better options and better school systems, ...:-)
Seriously… does it flood every other day? I’m trying to live in midtown
Same!!
It generally does not flood in that area
Need close off some rooms. PS when get bitten, white toothpaste on bite. It does work! Only white...
Love the more humorous vids lately!
The e bike warning last video had me 😂
