That is true - you will be within Houston even after driving 4-5 hours 😂… that’s the biggest disadvantage becoz there is not much entertainment - no place to hike, no scenery except Galveston… but it does feel like Chennai!!!
I studied and lived in Houston and Austin, Houston is very hot during summer and cold during winter and add to that the rain and flood, there is a reason things are cheap.. nothing to do other than eat and sleep.
Hi @ArthiPrem, We lived in Hilliard, OH for more than a decade from mid 90s to 2006 and worked for the big insurance company in downtown. We moved to Dallas after my daughter started to fall sick with frequent ear infections due to the cold weather. You will save money since you won't pay state income tax or city income tax which Columbus charges; the property tax is higher but you get bigger homes; then great schools; When you think of traveling, we go to beach in Corpus Christi or South Padre Island. Going on cruise from Galveston, you can get great deals during off season. One hop flights to Chennai or other major cities in India. My kid goes to university here which are top notch and better than OSU. Yes the traffic is crazy and the way people drive reminds me of India, no rules, just go with the flow. Bottomline no regrets of moving to Texas.
I am planning to move to Westlake Texas. How is the weather. I am from Chennai. Need some guidance. How much salary per annum if I am the only earner in family. I have 2 kids as well .. This is the first time moving out of tamilnadu. So please provide some guidance..
Traffic rules are difficult to follow in high traffic areas bro. Same in NJ. Too much traffic to actually follow rules. Especially very bad during peak office travel ties daily. So people try to catch-up by speeding and breaking rules. Have heard Dallas is very similar to east coast and is more like living in India. Temperatures go to extreme hot in Texas.
Houston having lived there for over 4 years my experience: pros - very good weather (personal choice though just like chennai v mild winter ) - very good indian community - excellent infrastructure - best food - very good people - low cost of living - lots of indian stores - big airport so very good flight connectivity - beach - good diversity - has been safe for me - so many tech companies Cons - traffic traffic traffic - summers can be very harsh - people drive so very very bad
Thanks bro for pointing out everything.. One more Cons is "Nearby states are Less popular " so you have to take the flight to go the popular places in the USA.
One thing ppl say about Houston is the humidity.. sometimes it could get clumsy due to proximity to ocean.. but nevertheless we felt the same way.. very similar to Chennai
Dallas vaanga nanba.. Saravana bhavan A2B Madurai mess Madurai thattu kadai Anjappar Kuppanna These r just few of known/reputed tamil restaurants and most of them has 2 branches within Dallas. And other Indian restaurants in every corner.
Yes, Non veg restaurants are a big plus. saravana bhavan is good, a2b at Frisco is worst! It's under Telugu management and cooks are also not from TN. A2b at NJ is the best!!
Nice video guys . I personally love to move to Houston for weather reasons . Affordable housing . Chennai weather in US . Thanks for note about Murugan temple , one of my favorite ❤️ in the US 🙏
Hello Prem Bro & Arthi Sister !!! Thanks a lot for the special mention. We had a great time as well with your family. Specially the Pongal Celebrations at our house and my elder son making fun jokes with Arthi sister will be remembered forever. Dheeran's cuteness was awesome when he was talking and praying, very cultured behavior. Keep up the great work !!
Houston not yet caught the Wave of Dallas and Austin - eventually it will. But if you plan now go and make the move and get a good and huge big house . Even new build Is possible. Don’t worry about entertainment - easy access to very good airport get the flight to go where you want. Access to both west and east coast as its centrally located. Property tax is high however note no income tax on the state . It gets compensated on other areas . If you want to bring your parents they will be comfortable here in these areas. Also if you plan to start your own business Texas is good , for startups labor cost is relatively less expensive and there are lot of student looking for part time gigs. This should be one main point. Once you have your Gc or EAD ppl would naturally want to start their own business & initially you might have to spend money on labor etc . This is also one of key factor where you see states like TX,GA , FL has less hourly rate and this can be fact to consider. Health care in Texas can be issue however not on Big cities like DALLAS , Houston Austin or San Antonio.
Hi AP . I moved from CT to sugarland last year . Schools here are great . But umber alert like child missing is something we get it very often here . Turning on the local news channel here u will feel like pack up and go to india 😅 or at least run to CT . So much crime here . Other than that everything is cool .
Whenever Indian people speak abt Texas, they mentioned only about job opportunities and climate. But no one inform you about crime rate there. That’s horrible. Atleast in suburban of Houston is fine. If you live within Houston, you will feel india is better in safety. So much of theft and car breaking.
I lived in Houston tx for 12 yrs before moving to hartford CT and here you can see all 4 reasons in CT and i dont miss Houston that much except for may be cost of living. If i move back to TX i would want to try Dallas And Not Houston
Yeah agreed bro But we will tell the big city name in order to represent the group Say we are not in Columbus city But we will say Columbus say for easy understanding and connect with the common place
I was living in NJ before moving to TX. To be honest, I don’t like TX as the summer is quite harsh and rough hot. Adding to that, there are no attractions around Dallas, TX. I think people don’t follow rules in NJ than TX but I felt NY and NJ more lively than TX
Big companies are moving towards Texas .. Texas is having very good job opportunities for indians They have 4 big cities and every cities are having good IT jobs
Yes, it depends on personal choices. If you want to escape from natural disaster and enjoy our climate , then Dallas would be the best choice. Apart from this Houston and Dallas are the best choices for Tamil schools and culture.
Hi We r currently staying in NJ . We want to move out of NJ becoz of cold weather and property tax. Which is better to move Dallas or Houston ? Our house budget is 500kanyone recently moved to Texas from NJ
Hi sister Lot of people moved from NJ to texas Houston is cheaper housing market than dallas But dallas is having other good thing like not very hot like Houston
it ultimately depends on what we need...definitely we will not have that entertainment we have in east coast.max itl be food, temple, lakes here the minute we cross NYcity..that vibes is amazing.... .the lush trees and fall weather and the spring cherry blossoms..but we can happily go out in flip flops n njoy pani puri on an evening.in dallas...some people cant take excess heat and migraine..n texas can be very hot n bright.. right now my mind Is like I want the dallas vibes in New Jersey.but people who live in dallas never complain..but long term la indha cold weather, ny city vibes idhelaam mukyama...nu oru question vardhu..its important that kids be raised in a good Indian society..we need contacts..we need good indian community and friends as we age...so considering all that. it's better to move to texas area..especially tamilian....
great video . thanks..my opinion : if you want Indian atmosphere in U. S , better choose Dallas first , next Houston.. you won't miss India , especially Tamilnadu , if you live in these two cities..
It is a good option for young couples , students and bachelor's or spinster. Yet for people who are living with family and kids, relocating is not a good option, considering school, work, friends, extended family.
Prem nanga toll free roads la find panipan. So toll free road use panuvom. Houston Dallas usually traffic ah Dan irukum. That's y same Tamilnadu feel San Antonio la irukum. Adan San Antonio better option.
Easy ah understand pananumna chennai life dan pudikum na Dallas dan pudikum. Mayavaram life dan pudikum na SA is better option. San Antonio is near to Austin .
I lived in Houston around 8 years and definitely it’s a good place but please consider safety first it’s not a safest place because house breaking and theft are more common in Houston and even in petrol bulk.we need to be more cautious while going for a walk or in park..so safety wise it’s very worst
@@ArthiPrem agre with Abi Pkm. Safety and Racism in school for your kids should be a big factor in making decisions. When it comes to that aspect, definitely, Austin and Dallas are better choices. There are many Indian families who moved to Virginia and pulled kids out of school from Houston. However, having said that, there are those that are living there peacefully with no issues. Depends on the neighborhood you choose as well. Hence, choose wisely!
Hi bro n sis.. I am from Houston. Felt very good seeing the video.. your videos are like watching a family member.. next time please inform earlier and remember to include me in your plan.. I cook really well and would love to host your lovely fam ❤️
One good thing I learned in Houston life and n chicago life is, if you invite me to a place at 5pm I need to interpret that as 3pm 😂 Traffic, traffic, traffic. My 7 years in Chicago I complained about cold, now I complain about heat. Entertainments are all over the place, depends on your lifestyle. If you be back to Houston, give me a holler. Would love to have you guys.
@@ArthiPrem most aggressive driving I have ever seen in USA! Traffic is unbelievably horrible! Very crowded city especially in malls (never scene such crowds even in Indian malls) Pros: Can’t beat the Indian food restaurants in atlanta especially the grant buffets you could find only in India! We can find amazing tamil restaurants like nalan, aachi, Madras chettinad,etc… Atlanta Hindu temple is very big and reminds india a lot! Lots of Indian grocery stores! You will find everything in Atlanta and never need to wait for parcel from India including clay pots, organic groceries etc…
@@ArthiPrem Between I have moved from Atlanta to Texas recently thatsy I am very confident Texas is far better than Atlanta in traffic and driving 😀! In Texas, Austin is really a classic place! It’s not dry unlike other parts of Texas! Austin is very green compare to Dallas and Houston and would remind California in many aspects! Try Oasis restaurant in lake view there it would almost remind you some Europe destinations. Of course Mexican food is awesome in Austin! It’s my personal experience based on my stay in USA (lived in Los Angeles, Ohio Georgia and now in Texas 🙂)

Good point about the humidity, Thanks Raja Bro !!!
I am moving to sugar land, Houston next month with my family.
Lived in Houston for a decade, it has so much resemblance to Chennai in terms of weather and a large city. It is safe, diverse and cheaper❤
Well said! I am also a Houston resident feeling the same

I was living in NJ before moving to TX. To be honest, I don’t like TX as the summer is quite harsh and rough hot. Adding to that, there are no attractions around Dallas, TX. I think people don’t follow rules in NJ than TX but I felt NY and NJ more lively than TX
But cold weather is a big disappointment in NJ and NY
@@sudhakarselka I agree. We can manage though except if we are living in upstate of NY
Yeah north side of NY is too worst Buffalo 😳😳😳
@@ArthiPrem Yeah bro
I agreed the point about the very hot summer in Texas and no attractions around texas mostly unpopular states around it
My son is. N Cincinnati Ohio... I ll follow ur video
Visit Newyork.. Oh man It's exactly like chennai.. crazy driving..
Can't compare with Minneapolis..
Yes sister.. busiest and densely populated city
Crazy driving
I am planning to move to Houston or any place in Texas
Let me look into Houston to cut down my expenses
I'm coming from NY.
Yes .. Houston is less cost of living than dallas and Houston also having good schools with the good indian community
Nice video
Thanks🙏
Job opportunity is better in Texas. It is now 2nd to California. Is it not ?
Nicely told prem & arthi
NY and NJ almost 2nd to None.
Big companies are moving towards Texas .. Texas is having very good job opportunities for indians
They have 4 big cities and every cities are having good IT jobs

Dallas? I feel worst climate it's boring place

Good points

Dallas is better than Houston and Houston is better than San Antonio. Austin is another glnice place. I prefer Dallas or Austin.
Welcome to Dallas
within Dallas , Frisco is the best for South Indians , specifically for Tamils..
Which is the best place to stay cost effective NJ , Charlotte,Frisco Texas?
Definitely NJ is the costliest state high cost of living
Frisco home buying would be costlier than charlotte

TX was so hot 🥵, Seattle is more lively and It’s in evergreen state. People behave very good with others.
Seattle is one of the beautiful city
But too much rainy days isn’t
Consider Dallas as well. Pros - developing/developed city, diversified jobs, education. Cons - hot weather for couple of months.
Don’t try to make USA as india….All religious activity should be done inside temple…. Like how here other religions are following….
