THE HOUSTON EXODUS & Why I’m LEAVING Houston Texas with So Many Others
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- Welcome to this video where I'll be discussing why so many people are leaving Houston, Texas and moving to the suburbs.
Houston has been a popular city in Texas for quite some time. However, over the past few years, there has been a significant shift in population from urban areas towards suburban neighborhoods.
So what is causing this trend?
With the growing population and limited public transportation options, commuting into downtown can be a nightmare for many residents. In this video I will be discussing the reasons behind people leaving Houston, Texas like quality of life plays an essential part. People prefer quieter communities with better schools systems & fewer crowds compared to busy metropolitan cities like Houston.
These factors combined make suburban living more attractive than ever before for those who want affordable housing options without sacrificing proximity or convenience. Watch the video till the end if you're considering moving out of Houston's overcrowded urban areas then consider exploring one of its many beautiful suburbs!
I hope you find this video helpful and love it. Please feel free to drop your thoughts and questions in the comment section below. I will be more than happy to answer them all.

When I was a kid it took me about 4 hours to drive from Austin to Houston.
Then it took 3.5 hours.
Then it was 3 hours.
Then 2.5 hours. Now closer to 2 hours.
Because... everyone is always 'moving to the suburbs'. The city keeps expanding, like a giant, never ending suburb where the same chain stores are on repeat every 10 minutes.
Yes it’s gotten so big!
Knowing that it's Christian and family oriented makes me want to leave Canada and come to Texas plus how affordable the homes are
Yes lots of Jesus here!
Very informative. Agree with all of those points!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. So glad you came across my algorithm
Never saw your algorithm but thanks for watching!
Great video! I’m in Ca and considering relocating to TX but not quite yet. My daughter’s and grandkids will be moving in the Conroe area in the summer. I can’t wait to come and visit and explore some.
I would love to meet you! What area are they moving to?
I’m so glad I came across your channel yesterday, I have so much to catch up on. I’m getting all of my questions answered by you and can’t wait for my time to depart Maryland!!
I am glad you found my channel as well! If you ever have any questions or need anything, please don’t hesitate to reach out. My mom was born and raised in Bethesda Maryland, but has lived in Texas for over 50 years!
I most certainly will and Bethesda isn’t far from me at all!!
I just left bel air, Maryland and moved to Katy Texas outside of Houston. Trust me, you won’t regret it. Life is soooo much better here.
@@beautifulsoulgirl8683 thank you, now I’m really excited! And you’re from Bel Air? That’s about an hour from me, I’m in College Park. I’m so ready I’ve started downsizing and haven’t decided on when or what area just yet, I’m still watching videos and taking lots of notes but Katy is on the list!
@@shefromdc Katy, the woodlands, Conroe, and Richmond are nice areas. Katy (cinco ranch area) and the woodlands have great schools and are top picks for many people moving here. They have great reputations, and lots of things to do. If Katy, definitely the cinco ranch zip 77494. My kids go to Tompkins high and the school rating is A+. Richmond and Conroe are more rural. Conroe touches the Wooodlands and Richmond touches Katy. Some areas in Cypress are very nice too.
We are loving Katy and definitely don’t miss the snow 😂
Hello from Atascocita/Humble! Second year here and am very happy with our decision to move from California. Though this area is starting to be a bit too liberal for my comfort, I was trying to escape that.
Yes I have heard that about that area! Come over to Montgomery!
So interesting, what are liberals doing to make you uncomfortable in that area?
@@EH-ro8dndestroying the state of Texas
Urban areas lean left, while rural areas lean right. As ANY city becomes more dense, it will become more liberal as a coping mechanism of getting along in more diverse and crowded conditions. Not making judgements, it's just how it is.
@@harlanjackson6112yes most large cities lean left but Texas has so much rural! !
I moved from Houston in 2015 and have been trying to make my way back since. I'm working remote now and have been tracking the Katy area. There's lots of new development (planned communities) but remember someone saying that some may be built on flood zones I know the prices have slowing been getting cut.You mentioned checking property taxes I believe. Do I just go to the county to find that out?
The tax rate is in most of the listing in har. Or your agent can help!!
We don’t want you back over here. Please stay away
I live in NY and have family in Houston suburbs. I'm strongly thinking of making that move. What areas would you suggest for new construction starter homes or rental townhomes? 😊
Hi there. What budget are you trying to stay under?! Text me if easier. 210-367-7626
Hello! Real Estate agent here in San Antonio, Texas! Thanks for the video!
Love San Antonio!!! Glad you connected!!
I'm in West Texas. We are trying to move towards west of Katy. Tri-Pointe has some really nice homes. We saw their collection in Cypress and it's about 200K more just for that location so Fulshear for new unless we can find a resell 5/3/3k sq ft 2 story with a pool somewhere else
What’s the budget. Message me. We can find it! Fulshear is great too!

Hello from Spicewood TX. :) - good content. I am surrounded by people here in Central TX who 'escaped' from Houston.
Yes I have clients looking for land in that area!!!
Spicewood is basically Austin, and too expensive. Central Texas is actually a bit north of that.
lol I would definitely rather live in Spicewood than Houston. Currently living in Austin
I'm a native New Yorker currently living in the Metro Atlanta area but looking to move into the Houston area in a few years.
We would love to have you!
From New York, lived NY City, Brooklyn and Long Island. Moved to Louisville KY one year ago. Lacking here. Home search always brings me back to Texas. Thank you for talking about the flooding, it is a big concern.
If it helps, I have never sold a foooded home! Reach out anytime!
Thank you, will do!
I dared the day I'll move there. All my kids are in TX. I hate that hot, traffic over taxed hell hole. But I'm glad I found you to help me. THX YOU.
Smart kids!!!! No income tax. Low property tax in right areas. No traffic. I love it!!!!
The property taxes aren't bad, just depends on where you choose to live.
Exactly!!
Great video! I'm from Oxnard, CA. Grew up in Goleta, CA. Thinking about investing in Katy, Tx or getting a second home someday. I have cousins who mostly live in Cyrpess I believe.
~Kevin
Katy and cypress are both great for investing with highly rated schools!
Hi, I live in Frisco, TX up in North Dallas. What’s your take on Rosharon TX?
It’s a nice small small town!
As terrible as it can be! stick to the countryside and you will be fine. The town of Rasharon has two run down looking gas stations and a trashy bar. That is it! Look into Sun Creek States and Chenago Ranch. These are acrege communities. The school system is terrible there too.
There's only one reason to never move to Houston in the first place: Crime, Crime, Crime. If you can't go to the grocery store, bank or gas station without the threat of being robbed, why would you live there? I live an hour north of Austin. We don't have those issues.
We live on the outskirts of Houston and have zero issues as well! My parents do live in Houston and really don’t have any safety issues either but there are certain parts that do.
I live in Houston and have never felt unsafe. You don’t even like in Houston to say that you don’t feel safe 😂
@@piglet7943let him scare people away from our great city we are full!!!
It is a great city!!!
@@piglet7943 Driving through Houston to get to Galveston told me everything I needed to know. Almost got hit twice, going the speed limit. Why would I want to live in that? You can have it all to yourself.
I’ve lived in Webster for 10 years. It’s in Harris County. It’s considered the suburbs.
Well about 2 1/2 to 3 years ago people have started to flood into our state. This has driven up the prices of homes. These people think our houses are a bargain. When they sell a house in California for a million dollars a mere 4-5 sounds like a great deal. Unfortunately, those of us who are from here cannot afford the price hikes. We are also seeing prices increase on land in the outskirts. Acreage is getting higher. They are doing so much development that even if you buy land in a “rural” area, it’s going to soon be built up.
My property taxes has doubled in the past 2 tax seasons. Not cool! I still make about the same and cannot afford this. Many people are struggling to get by nowadays with high inflation and the prices on everything get higher and higher.
Understandably, a real estate person needs to make money. No problem. However, to those of us from Texas it has been a hardship with all these people coming in.
Now the traffic is getting congested even driving to Galveston! My husband works on the island and he’s experiencing rush hours now!
Houston is not what it used to be. This is sad to those of us who love Texas!
Oh I love my Texas! Born and raised! Unfortunately the inflation in this country has much more to do with our leadership than it does with people moving to Texas. One thing to know is they can’t raise your value more than 10% annually. It’s a state law. So make sure you fight that!
My wife said she’s getting ahold of you on Monday. We are considering moving out of the Midwest off acreage and into the burbs. We need A rated schools near some woods and fishing. We live on 15 acres but have 200 acres of farmland. It’s unfortunate it’s all in southern Illinois where deer are big but the laws are too blue for us. We work from home so no issue there but I need to be in Texas not Illinois. Schools being the most important. I know that you can’t speak on schools but is there somebody that you can point me to that can? Like a friend of yours that isn’t legally restricted to do so but also knows all the skinny. We are in for a culture shock I know, I had 19 people in my graduating class. So we are used to real slow country life. We just want more and better for our three girls. I was in the Army for a long while so I have been around. My poor wife has never left this crappy area. Family is the only reason I came back after the Army. So I’m trying to move the whole family down over the next few years.
I think you guys would love it here!!!!! Very family friendly and pretty!! Great schools!!! Reach out anytime !!!
I live near Seattle, Wa. Looking to move this fall to the Houston area
Thanks for sharing!! Happy to help! Reach out anytime!
Left Houston in 2010 for a far north suburb of Dallas called Frisco. Looked at a $900,000.00 box off PGA Parkway in Prosper with a massive "bonus room", charge the same sq foot as the kitchen but cost the builder nothing to add, complete waste of money
Are you liking where you are???
This is the existential question, native born, East Texas roots, moved to Dallas in 77, graduated UT Austin, worked in Houston, you have the food capital of Texas, we have Brinker, half the Dallas / Ft. Worth wait staff payroll, looking like NY & California are all moving here, I'm in the nose bleed section of town, that's a long winded way of saying the hot money is right here with Warren Buffett throwing $Billions at The Colony, R U kidding me, this is becoming the Disney land of Texas, oh how I miss Star Pizza, cheers 🍻
Grapevine is a much nice area if we're talking DFW. Very expensive.
Im thinking about Texas, I was stationed in El paso Ft bliss in 88. Im sure things have changed. I have a few Army buddies in Houston, Dallas and few other place. I'm living in Seattle WA now. My property tax last year. 11,346. I'm 2 years from retirement (58). Time for me to get up outta here.
Yes come home!!!!
I'm from suburban Omaha, moving to Magnolia Springs in April!
Nice congrats!!!
i was born in houston now i absolutely hate living here. there is too many people. i cant wait until i can leave.
Yep that’s why I moved way out to montgomery!!!
What do you think of Kingwood? Im from Minnesota
I like it but be careful of flooding.
Floods a lot, but an amazing community.
From Norman, Oklahoma. Go to MD Anderso nfor treatment. loved Sugarland 11 yrs ago and thought we might move there but after this time decided its overpopulated and we were overwhelmed w the crowds, the traffic the noise the congestion. Very sad ... now i have seen that the property taxes are crazy too. didnt even think about that.. prob wont move here sorry its lovely but we have a acreage and a beautiful home with no hoa. we dont want to gt into an HOA situation. ill bet HOAs are crazy here
just my guess
YES! Love acreage and unrestricted! Not crowded! No state income tax! ITS PERFECT!
Amazing that Houston is about to beat Chicago. That many people are moving.
IT IS CRAZY!!!!
Google everything you would like to know and call Cities for more info on Taxes, school ratings, crime. 👏👏
Yes google and RUclips are so helpful!!!
Small point, when discussing distance the word is "farther," not "further."
Hahahah. Funny!
@@LivingInHoustonTexas Agreed! But it's usually better when people laugh with you rather than at you...
Quite funny that you have the time to sit on channels and make fun of people. I know my English language better than most.. you are hearing my southern ACCENT THAT I CHERISH!!! . I do hope you have a blessed evening.
@@LivingInHoustonTexas Um, I didn't make fun of you. It was a simple comment that you blew out of proportion. I don't sit on channels and never heard of yours. This video just showed up in my feed. Well, you do seem like a nice person. Have a good night.
I just moved from northern MD to Katy TX and no regrets. Best decision I ever made. The lifestyle is sooooo much better here in TX. I would NEVER move back to the east coast.
I have so many clients moving from Maryland! My mom was born in Bethesda.
@@LivingInHoustonTexas cool. I lived in northern MD. Maryland politics and cost of living is just as bad as NY. Blue areas in TX are moderate compared to the east coast and west coast. I consider Houston a purple city and I have moderate to mild conservative views. I couldn’t raise my kids in MD anymore and I was tired of being cold 7-9 months a year 😂
I was thinking about moving to Taxes from sh*thole CA but after I found out the property tax rate... Hell No!!! Also Property taxes NEVER goes away.
Yes but we don’t pay 13% state income tax!!! That’s what it is in highest bracket in Cali!
I live where the rate is 1.7. That’s 5k a year on 300k house vs 13k on 100k income.
@@LivingInHoustonTexas Okay but what about the people that don't work or are retired?
@@LivingInHoustonTexas LOL you're funny. I or most people would want a house way more than 300K more like $700 - $800K right?
@@2GoodLookin if they don’t work how are they paying to live?
Christian man of color here, Was wondering me and my wife (who is white) have two children and would love to and trying to raise our children with said values you were speaking on in your video.. would we be able to fit in Montgomery TX?
Absolutely, I live in Montgomery for the last 19 years and I can tell you that Montgomery became so diverse last 6 years or so. You can see here people of all color and faith these days. Just little congested lately, so many people moved here :-) But you can still find some pockets of quietness in some places.
I think Montomgery is becoming more diverse slowly! There are a lot of people who love Jesus so should be welcoming!! I would love to meet your family!!
@@mmmd3429with love and respect! All my clients are amazed at how friendly everyone is!
@@LivingInHoustonTexas Fake friendly and everyone knows it. That area still has Klan and confederate flags waving.
What about Conroe?
Conroe is great just have to watch school
Rankings!
From Arizona living in Fulshear
My sister lives there! Do you like it?
Oh yes! Houston homes are cheaper than other big cities but the property tax will kill you 😅specially if you live in Harris county I used to live there for 6 yrs until we move overseas & now we’re retired & live in a small town north of Texas & property taxes is way cheaper & much less crimes very happy 😊
Yes getting out of the city!!
Are most going back to California? More bang for your Buck areas is my guess for most.
No moving to the suburbs of houston out of the city!!
@@LivingInHoustonTexas Copy that, interesting
I'm a realtor just outside of Washington D.C. Considering moving to the Houston Suburbs. In my area, you'd be paying double or more for a similar neighborhood. @livinginhoustontexas great videos!
Yes it’s a great place to live!!!!!
I think you should come to Europe its safe no summer heat waves good public transport better traffic its a better quality of life in europe
I don’t want socialized medicine. There is a reason everyone comes to the US for healthcare.

Welcome!
I’m a veteran of 21 years, I don’t want to be around Far Right nuts or Far Left Nuts. Where would that be? 😊
HAHAH! The woodlands has a good mix!
Everyone has different experiences, ex. Some people always get the good neighbors in apts, some don't and the people unbothered by this junk have it made in the shade, must be glorious to live somewhere without fear of your neighbors.
Yes I love how safe it is here. That’s for sure. I feel blessed
We want to move to Houston but the job is somewhere else, unfortunately.
Oh no. Where is the job??
I have a cousin in Conroe.
Nice! Do they like it?
He said he does. He use to live in Michigan so your weather is better

That’s great.
CANADA!
Thanks for tuning in from CANADA!!! Glad to have you!
I read the floods are happening because the city doesn't do proper maintenance.
It’s just a few areas that flood!!!!
The entire area is a giant swamp toilet bowl.
Haha. I’ve never sold a flooded house! And I sell 75 a year!
@@LivingInHoustonTexas Realtors provide zero value except being a buzzard and skimming their fee off the sale.
@@mmmd3429 I pray you have a blessed week.
They are leaving Houston, because Harris county,one the biggest county in Texas run by democrats, that’s all I have to say
Yes did you watch the video???
No don't leave.....
Haha did you watch it?
California
Yes many coming here from
Cali.
Guys stay single. Buy a simple 1 bedroom condo. And travel to other countries when you can. Don't get sucked into getting married and the big house and working your life away to try and keep an American woman happy. It will never happen. Be smart stay single and in control of your life.
There is definitely so many ways to live!!! Best of luck to you!!!
@@LivingInHoustonTexas I agree, I prefer to live richly.
Yes I live richly but not through money but other things that bring me way more joy!
Republicans need to leave Houston for a more conservative city.
Keep Texas Red

Harris County is blue, get over it.

I don’t listen to realtors you all need to go away.

Let me guess. The Mayor is not doing a good job.
Some would agree with this!
clickbait ur not leaving houston ur leaving to suburbs, hope ur business practices arent as deceptive
Yes I left houston!! Totally different town and lifestyle! The one thing my client say about me is how honest I am. I hope you have a blessed day.
You are selling property in Montgomery County so you are biased. In Houston you could find somebody to get your blond hair right.
Have a blessed day! @jw77019
I know why, just not politically correct to say.
Not sure what you. are referring to! The video is about crime and traffic and better schools in suburbs out of houston!
dont come to Florida
Lots of people headed your way too!
@@LivingInHoustonTexas can’t stand it either. Ruining Florida.
Really? So many great people moving here!

She didn’t leave Texas. She left the city to move to suburbs 😂. Don’t worry, your governor is nuts, people in FL are getting crazy and the school system is horrible in FL.
