Some areas , both urban and suburban that you might add to your list are: the EADO district, Rice Military, West University, the Museum district , Upper Kirby/ River Oaks CHELSEA( these are all great inner city neighborhoods to Live in). More suburban areas to consider: Pearland, Cypress, League City, Conroe, Kingwood, Spring, Meyerland, West University, Cinco Ranch, Friendswood, Clearlake, Memorial City, Missouri City, Bellaire , Energy Corridor and Generation Park
@@StarLord.2k Kingwood, Atascocita, Spring, and The Woodlands are part of the Houston metropolitan area and near Humble. If that’s what you meant. I moved around an hour away from Houston. The city is going to $h!t.
Omg thank you for this video. All the other videos say they’re gonna tell you about living in Houston but they only give you information about the suburbs. I almost bought in the bad area because the real estate agent said nothing to me. I’m from the ghetto too but I know the ghetto in my city. I don’t know the ghetto in Houston.
I live in Houston for all my life, but I like to listen to an outsiders perspective on things! I plan to move out soon, but have no idea where I should go...this helped me get a fresh view as I'm probably used to a lot of things here, and your summary of the environment of each neighborhood is really accurate. I was thinking Montrose, Midtown, Memorial, River Oaks or Woodlands. An "upgrade" from Northside. Though they are starting to build townhomes, so I hope the vibe is much nicer when I inherit my family home with my brother!
I am from Katy! This video is awesome as a young couple, we are trying to find a new neighborhood to live in, separate from our families but still close to home haha.
I lived in Houston for three years 2014-17 and I loved living in the Museum District. 10 mins walk to hospital for work. There was Barnaby’s and Bodega’s both very short walk away as well as Hermann Park. If you didn’t walk to drive downtown short walk to light rail plus a Walgreens and Family Dollar very close. Great neighborhood plus we didn’t get no flooding during Harvey.
Don’t forget Downtown Chicago! 2:59 NYC and Chicago has the best downtowns in America 🇺🇸. Great video!!! I’m thinking about relocating to Houston from Chicago.
Omg this was really really helpful the best video I’ve watched out of the 100 videos 😩👏🏾I’m 21 I’ll be 22 in January planning to move in March. Moving from Savannah, Georgia
Great video I stay in Raleigh/Durham NC, I’m moving to Houston next March me and my girlfriend, we was thinking downtown because we want to be in the mix and don’t want to have to drive far to do do anything
I want to piggy back on HOA in Houston Heights. In Houston, HOA is great. What many don’t know if you’re not in a HOA your neighbor can be a business park despite the anomaly and land use regulations. Houston does NOT have zoning laws which is a big problem. I ended up selling my home in West University Place in Houston due to this. That area was perfect for me as I work at the hospital. I now purchased a home in The Woodlands and work at hospitals around this area and life is so much better in terms of what can be built here and where.
I came across you on top best cities to live and you on the Houston list it’s so much stuff I ain’t seen , I went to the Galleria mall and was like.. who finna walk this … I’ll never leave here this home now
I ain’t gon lie, I went to the galleria mall and was like hell nah, this on some usain bolt, I’m stretching and like I ain’t gone make it I settle for the bronze , I ain’t getting no gold walking this mall..lol st . Lou ain’t got no mall mere this, first thing let me remember where I parked and stop in a few places like y’all serve Gatorade I need some electrolytes to git back to my car
Nice description of places to live. Only thing I’d add is that for medical ppl you probably meant the medical center for a good place to stay..and also river oaks/upper Kirby and galleria areas are good areas as well
Wow you like the Houston ambassador, you did a great job and I used to live North Dallas. White wonderland up there almost near Oklahoma. Would love to get into Houston and check it out and you're right everything in Texas is so huge. You could be in the car for hours and still haven't seen all of your new Homeland. Thank you for being warm welcoming and totally transparent and I agree with you it's fun to go into some of the areas and find the mom and pop restaurant. Happy 2022
i've never been to texas, but the price is what is attracting me. I am a young black women, so living in the south is kinda iffy for me. So where should i go that has our people but more professional of our people
Great info my dear. I’ve been there so much times and I’m always procrastinating to move. Hopefully soon, I love the outside of Houston more like Richmond, and sugar land. But thanks for the details🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👍🏾
Girl 🤣 the hood and ghetto is within me too but I'm a professional so I moved to Spring off 45 . So far so good since March 2021. No luxury apartments just a decent low key area.
Can't wait to come I'm moving to Houston soon💕 I want to be around loads of black Americans can you do a video on where most black people reside in Houston pls
Thanks for all your advice and tips. I've been wanting to move for years, I'm definitely planning on visiting Texas as well as a few other warm states to consider moving to within the next year.
this video was so helpful for me im 25 and ready for a change im currently an CNA going to school for MA in Minnesota with a 4 year old and 14 year old brother i really think memorial city will be best for us but i do like the hoods also lol they have the best foods lbs
I agree 100%! BeforeI moved here I apartment shopped using a flood map. Very handy girl. You can just google “Houston flood map” and avoid all areas that flood 💜
As a houstonian who lives near Tidwell but has been everywhere BUT Sunnyside or rarely eastside at all....Tidwell isn't that bad, but its mainly a nighttime thing. People be shooting guns at night and everything, others drag racing down the street and revving their cars and motorcycles. And Crosstimbers near Northside freeway is PACKED with homeless and shady people. Lots of garbage throw around. But I've heard about Sunnyside and everyone warns one another about it, like don't stop driving and/or make sure you bring a gun. Tidwell isn't bad per say, just mind your own business. Just a lot of loud cars/motorcycles and guns going off. Especially on the other side of Hardy Toll Road. It's mainly a Mexican neighborhood, and have the best taco trucks and we have Raspas down the street! (Snow cones). Theirs lots of car dealers and mechanics along with feeder shops and catholic churches. But if families plan to move there, I suggest you find somewhere else to put your child if your zoned to Sam Houston...my brother went there and it's bad from what he said, I went to a different school and when I mentioned it everyone call it ghetto. But I say Tidwell isn't that bad, but there's definitely better places, just get used to the gunshots and the occasional street races 🤷♀️
I moved here from the St. Lou, took a chance, got a degree at a.i.u it’s alot of opportunity here people are unaware of, bought a new house off Wallisville rd and beltway 8, it’s crazy with the diversity and all the restaurants, I came here and looked like a kid in a candy store, I love Galveston
Spring Texas is definitely nice! It’s actually next to the Woodlands, schools are spaced out. I like it. Cypress is great too depending on your taste. Good median area. And in Katy is see a great mix of diversity. I shop in that area often and it’s always different races/nationalities at the grocery store. HEB is my fav 😊
Hi Shenae, I just stumbled across your channel researching where in the South I want to re-locate. I now live in Illinois and in the next four years, I want to move to a warmer climate and I am considering Texas because I am going to retire. What would be a good area to live for someone retired?
I’m interviewing in Greater Heights but the goal is to move to bellaire. I’m a dancer as well. I’m a little nervous cause idk how areas are and I’m from STL. Yet, can someone point me in the right direction if I’m hired in greater heights. I’ll be working there but not living there
Looking to move to tx in a couple of months &had Katy,tx in mind but the prices of an apartment having me second thinking,I'm a CNA &with the salary we make I really have to do some research of some affordable but nice & safe apartment
Hey I jus hav a simple question. I’m aware that Houston is the haven for the welding trade. I’m a pipe welder wat will be the best place to live in Houston as a welder. I will have to travel bac and forth to work.Thanx and your reply will be greatly appreciated.
Temi it’s soooo many options/areas in Houston that I didn’t mention because this video would’ve been hours long lol. However, I hear both are nice areas. Google the areas and check out pics! 💕
Some areas , both urban and suburban that you might add to your list are: the EADO district, Rice Military, West University, the Museum district , Upper Kirby/ River Oaks CHELSEA( these are all great inner city neighborhoods to Live in). More suburban areas to consider: Pearland, Cypress, League City, Conroe, Kingwood, Spring, Meyerland, West University, Cinco Ranch, Friendswood, Clearlake, Memorial City, Missouri City, Bellaire , Energy Corridor and Generation Park
Sugarland, Cypress, Spring, Humble are nice surrounding suburbs as well.
I'm looking for somewhere not "hood" near,but not in, humble. Any suggestions?
@@StarLord.2k I'll be more than glad to help but your question kind of has me confused. Can you explain again what exactly you are looking for?
@@StarLord.2k
Kingwood, Atascocita, Spring, and The Woodlands are part of the Houston metropolitan area and near Humble. If that’s what you meant.
I moved around an hour away from Houston. The city is going to $h!t.
Man it’s rough in spring and definitely humble
What’s wrong with Spring?

Thank you beautiful!!!! Very informative!!!

Sugar land wasn’t on the list. Y is that? I was thinking about going there. And y do you prefer Katy over the woodlands? I’ve never been to tx.
The Gulf Gate area in Hobby airport is a good area to live in
He'll naw lol
Don't lie to these pp lol
Beautiful nails!
Great 📹
I hear Sugar Land Tx is nice , Plano Tx is nice

Thank you! 🤗
Sounds like new comers need to stay away from the “wards”
How are the jobs? What’s the median for renting 1 or 2 bedrooms?
What are the less commonly flooded places?
Hi Shenae, I just stumbled across your channel researching where in the South I want to re-locate. I now live in Illinois and in the next four years, I want to move to a warmer climate and I am considering Texas because I am going to retire. What would be a good area to live for someone retired?
Hello! I would say somewhere away from the city, so more in the outskirts of Houston. Look into Katy and the surrounding areas.
I don’t see why not 🙂
I’m interviewing in Greater Heights but the goal is to move to bellaire. I’m a dancer as well. I’m a little nervous cause idk how areas are and I’m from STL. Yet, can someone point me in the right direction if I’m hired in greater heights. I’ll be working there but not living there
Do you know anything about Westfield?
Any idea about what Texas city, baclif that area is like?
How is Midtown a “good area”, but Travis st and Elgin st, which is the heart of midtown, a “bad area”?
Thank you
You’re welcome
Hey I’m moving to Beaumont Texas how is that ??
What about Sugarland and Pearland yes my daughters live there and I'm coming just don't know when.
Sugar Land and Pearland aren’t actually in Houston. Those are separate cities. Both are good areas last time I’ve seen them.
Sugarland and Pearland are great places. I stay in Pearland love it.
Looking to move to tx in a couple of months &had Katy,tx in mind but the prices of an apartment having me second thinking,I'm a CNA &with the salary we make I really have to do some research of some affordable but nice & safe apartment
It's doesn't flood near NASA

Did you end up moving? My husband is a shipfitter and noticed the pay was extremely lower than in the Hampton roads area. Went from $33 to $16 😮
I’m still living in NewYork.
I noticed you didn't mention the Energy Corridor or Briar Forest. What's your take on that?
Your videos are very informative 👌🏽
Temi it’s soooo many options/areas in Houston that I didn’t mention because this video would’ve been hours long lol. However, I hear both are nice areas. Google the areas and check out pics! 💕
What abt bellaire?
Is Briarforest a good neighborhood?? Belmont apartments? Ill be there soon girl........ Lets get this BBQ going🙏😂
I am familiar with that name, but I haven’t been in that area too much. I would recommend researching that area specifically for better insight. 🙂
@@coachshenae3859 Westchase any good?
It’s okay, but it depends exactly where at on Briarforest. Watch out for the flooding because it does flood?
ME!!! @ 1:04
Hey love, can you
Give me the names of some temp agencies in the Houston area? I’m looking to move asap
What are the guns control in those areas? I heard people carrying guys everywhere. It kind of gave me bad vibes
Sugarland is NOT Houston, Woodlands is NOT Houston...
If you move to Houston, move to Greens point. A new comer neighborhood
ey shenae do you know amything about northshore??
