Houston Texas Worst Hoods ~ “Gulfton” Is The Most Diverse And Densely Populated Place In Houston

- As Per Wikipedia: By 2000 Gulfton was the most densely populated community in Houston, with 71 percent Hispanic residents, including many recent immigrants from Mexico and Central America. Although traditionally a Salvadoran and Mexican neighborhood, many immigrants began coming from different Latin-American countries, particularly from Venezuela, Honduras, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guatemala and Colombia.
Today, it remains a sad reminder that not all who make it to USA escape poverty and low living standards fully. While Houston has diverse wealthy areas, this is the shame of those who came but failed.
I've been in Houston for over 40 year and I still have not seen everything. The Gulfton area has a reputation for a LOT of gang activity.
In 2021 a study showed that the Houston Metro area was the most diverse in the U.S
Not surprised
Yeah it sucks now
He needs to read up on the places he visits more
@@candysmith8724 because it’s more diverse?
@@CobraKaiBoi 🙄
This area you showed is not the real hood. Try driving down Selinsky or MLK at 2 AM. Then head north to Hirsch Road in NE. This Gulfton area is full of old apartments, lots of Latin people, old infrastructure, and young gang bangers at night. This area is "tame" compared to the real bad hoods in Houston.
The violence in Gulfton is either gang on gang or domestic dispute. Besides that not a lot of other crime like you have in some of the more run down parts of town. On the Southwest I would say Bissonnet, Club Creek, Woodfair, Forum Park, Braeswood and Fondren area are the most ghetto .
Tons of apartment complexes. Kind of a hood that’s of more recent development than we see in most places. The mix of residential, industrial and commercial use all mixed up is the result of Houston (famously) not having any zoning. Keep up the good work you two!
I grew up on windswept lane by the flea market, about 5 minutes from where you are and I can confirm this area is absolutely gang infested,drug addicted and dangerous after sun down , helped me build character tho lol
Facts
No doubt, the 90s early 2000s were crazy in Houston. Gang’s everywhere
Kudos to you for making it out. Windswept is a crazy.
Southern Life , you guys are the best. Good clean crisp videos. Love your narration and input and your conversations . Both of you guys rock. Keep the videos coming and when you get a chance, do Opelousas Louisiana again.
Thanks so much! for sure Louisiana deserves a full trip.
Thank you , I used to live here 12 years back.Has a special place in my heart .
@ 3:39 In 1980 to 1982 I lived in that Apartment to the right of the white door. It's was Hillcroft Fountain Apts. It wasn't to bad. Just hard working people trying to make a living. The fence wasn't there back then. In 83 moved to Courtside Gardens which is La Plaza Apartments today. Lantern Village Apartments @ Renwick Dr. and Gulfton St. was really bad. It was Gulfton Square Apartments back then. HPD had a Sub Station inside the Complex and partoled on foot with shotguns. There was a bunch of shootings and stabbings, but 90% was people that knew each other. When build 2 Apartment complexes within 1 block of each other that are each over 500 Apartments. That is over 1000 Apartments all on top of each other. There is going to be a lot of fights and sometimes shots fired.
We look forward to watching your videos. You give us ideas on where not to go. Also gives us some ideas on where to go to as well sometimes! It was also amazing how there's multiple restaurants from multiple countries there! Thanks for great video!❤
Glad u are here with us
Where you were is what I call International Houston. Ninety different languages are spoken here.
Alief has more languages in there
You SHould Tiltle this video Houston Tx Bellaire Blvd and Hilcroft Area neighborhoods....
your probably right.
Gulfton certainly isn't pretty. During the day you are pretty safe, but as others have mentioned - not so safe at night. I do live in the area and usually have no issues.
It's strange how the houses look sketchy and poor, but you see a brand new Mercedes-Benz parked to the side lol.
typical hood life.
Drug dealer
Sharpstown, club creek, spice Ln, south post oak, Bellaire aka little Asia, 8900 breaswood
Can’t forget west Belfort n sandpiper
Gulton ain’t diverse my boy. Is an Hispanic hood !! Heavy Hispanic hood, then theres alot of Middle east ppl as well and rarely any blacks. The blacks you do see is Afro Latinos like from Honduras or sum shit. Stop spreading lies Gulfton is an Hispanic hood!! 💯
Yeah the black people you see aren’t African Americans they’re from other countries. I lived on gulfton & renwick for a lil and there was only one black guy who lived there and he was Dominican
@Livan Maldonado Not true, they also have African immigrants there. Gulfton is basically Hispanic and African immigrants. He probably meant diverse because there is also Indian businesses further outward which is probably what he was referring to. But the Gulfton apartment area is mainly Hispanic and some African immigrants.
@@soufwesthoustontx yes there’s also some African immigrants that’s true I was just saying there’s not really any “African Americans” at least where lived in gulfton
@@soufwesthoustontx thas why i said “rarely any blacks” theres very few of em but there is sum.
These type of videos which paint whole communities with a broad and often ignorant brush from a distance is gross and adds to subtle racism. You aren't doing anyone a real service punching down. There are thousands of very hard working, wonderful, and generous people in this neighborhood. Calling it a 'hood' and 'Worst' doesn't uplift any of these people - just feeds into negative stereotypes and encourages some to feel superior. Surely you have better things to do with your life.
I’m a native Houstonian, there’s Alief, Hiram Clark, 3rd Ward, 5th Ward. Y’all rolling around on Bellaire Blvd
South Bank, Dead End, Acres Homes, Greenspoint
@@justsaiyan8678 Damn… how did I miss Gunspoint? Lol
@@briantxcattleskull2752 lol foreal
@@justsaiyan8678 Well to be fair, my area has always been Westbury and Hiram Clarke
If I spam comment will it help the video?
🤣 your good just one comment does it
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS alright thanks
Is the 1960 area a good part of Houston? I now live in Austin, Texas and I still haven't been to every section of Austin
Have you been able to get some Tex mex food yet? I’d like to know what you think.
Go to 3rd ward or South Park, that’s where some hoods are.. I live in the Galleria area. I been in the H over 15 years & still haven’t been a lot of places-
Yes this area has a gang war . South west cholos then recently ms 13 moved into this area . South west Houston has a lot of gangs in it in the south west Houston area
Hold up hold up so you telling me driving thru hoods recording and posting it on you tube you can get paid legitimate
Houston actually is a good city everyone gets along!Very little homeless here possibly in the downtown district there is..I feel this is poor representation of Southwest Houston this isn't worst hoods by far!
we have done videos all over houston. i like it alot. id move to katy
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS yeah i made 2 drone videos featuring luxury homes called Life of the rich in famous in Southwest Texas...
I'm from Houston u got to check out gulf gate ,and magnolia, central park, 2nd ward ,Broadway ,Belfort park place, south Houston ,south park, 3rd ward ,sunny side ,yellow stones ,rosewood, Lakewood homestead and 44 acres home ,gulf banks ,Pasadena Dever harbor ,channel view ,greens point
No one has time for all that - certainly not someone from out of town. 🙄
Plenty of palm trees in Houston but no cypress trees like in Florida,just something I noticed,Houston is about the same latitude of Jacksonville,St.Augustine.
Cypress are in north houston like Cypress
But Houston much colder being further west
@SOUTHERN LIFE is Houston even a southern city or is it western?
@@j.campbell8491 It's the south, also it is the same climate as Jax/St.Aug, maybe warmer, east Houston is USDA zone 9b while those FL cities cap and 9a with some 9b/10a microclimates.
seems like a nice city some population density information would be nice black,white ,Hispanics etc..
No pressure Jose just suggestions but just to let you know the jackboys be on the south side but when u can film st Pete I’m thinking about possibly moving there
We have made plenty videos in and around st pete tho. We spent a few days in Pinellas county about 3 or 4 months ago
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS thanks I’ll check them out
“Business mixed with residential is almost never a good thing”? Have you been to downtown Austin, West Village NYC, San Francisco (10 years ago)?
The main “hood” aspect of your video to me was just the metal fences in front of apartment buildings. But I didn’t see homeless, too many sketchy guys hanging out on the street corner going nowhere, empty buildings/homes or massive graffiti. To me, this looked more working class than hood.
You just dont know how bad these types of places can get. The cover photo.. theres several homeless people there.
NYC you have flowers and restaurants not tire shops and body shops.. its not the same
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS
For sure. I wasn’t saying it was the same - just saying that business mixed with residential isn’t necessarily a problem.
@@brotherted9212 not always but its definitely not a nice restaurant and a flower shop in Houston there 🤣 its like a restaurant equipment center 😧 yup. NyC is nice stuff. Yup lol
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS
I can’t speak to the crime rates. Just that to me, “hood” is different from working class. This seems working class. No empty shells of buildings, not much graffiti, few roadside trash piles, most businesses seem open, few homeless, few guys hanging on the street corner with nowhere to go, etc.
13L, not so bad , it is really good , lots of opportunities there in Houston , apartments, villages nearby .
Much higher murder rate than NYC and LA
Yeah it's diverse all right
I got a homie in San Antonio but I stayed in Houston 2 weeks I'm that time I went to Sunnyside south Park south acres ,5th ward 3rd ward and a few other hoods to me Sunnyside 5th ward and South acres were like the most hood met a few cool peeps there I'm from Compton California so I felt like I was at home even tho it was a litt different
would you say crime in TX much less than CALI?
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS overall Houston is one of the most crime-ridden cities in the nation and is statistically more dangerous than Los Angeles
@@detrick707 thats a fact more raw numbers even dallas is statistically but its safe to say violence in LA might just be more concentrated but dont mind me i wouldnt know either
@@detrick707 everything is more dangerous than los angeles on paper
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I live in Houston and have family and friends from Los Angeles that feel that way when they're here. Los Angeles used to be a lot worse than it is now
Was gonna say that too lol. Kinda like a north Miami/Hialeah vibe
🙏🏼A Tour In Grand Prairie Texas
Whats up Jose? Hi Katie
Traveling
Man you stayed in Houston for 3 days because it's the 4 biggest city in the US population of 2 million +
I put my H down for htown.
You rolling around in the daytime, good choice, cause nite time is very dangerous. So leave before dark ok
We have been to some scary places at night
You’re just in one of the dangerous hoods. Got about 50 more in and around Houston. Things are kind of calm now. Definitely in the late 90s early 2000s gangs were everywhere and more crazier than ever.
Trucks are a thing in Houston Cadillacs are still around but now and days definitely big trucks and dropped trucks. I’ve been to little Havana everything is hood out there. A lot of old Cadillacs and rust everywhere. 1500 bucks in Katy ??? Try 2700 for a basic 3/2/2 lol
Can you do a video on Memorial City
Are y'all going to Oklahoma or Maine

All of Houston within 610 loop is hood
u obviously haven’t lived in Houston in the past 20 years. Most of inner loop is developed, Heights, Washington, River Oaks, Uptown, Montrose, West University, Midtown, Downtown, East Downtown, Upper Kirby are all super developed expensive areas.
@@nygeriunprence I lived in Houston more than 20 years lol I know Houston heights is hood still no Mather gentrification it still has gang activity going on in the heights
