I live in Montgomery county and the locals are tired of how our community is growing. We have lost our small town feel. Traffic and construction are horrible due to the growth. We are looking to escape.
I definitely understand that. With our population rising so much so quickly, unfortunately it’s inevitable. We had the same thing happen when we were in CA. We grew up in LA and then moved down to Orange County for a “slower” pace of life. Then within a few years the area we moved to started getting overpopulated and is unrecognizable today. Same thing is happening in Houston and the surrounding areas. We moved to Kingwood and love it. We’re hoping to at least get our kids through school before the changes start happening here too.
Thank you for sharing. The woodland famous for oil companies... yes, houses are expensive ,and houses are closing by running down areas.( stay away from acres homes...). Best place to live, jobs, good/great school/stores. to shop.. Harris County: Houston TX -- River Oaks( ck out Central Market), Highland Villages, West University , Memorial City area(I-10), Fort Bend: Sugar Land( High professional/education, most doctors and nurses live in Sugar land.). River Stone, Sienna Plantation. Some of the Northside are bad. So, be careful do your homework.
You are absolutely correct. I’ve found that each individual family/person has different wants, needs, and likes. Like you said, it’s important to do the homework on any place you’re thinking about moving to. I am a huge advocate for people wanting to move here to come and visit first, drive around as much as possible and get a good feel for the areas they are interested in. Most people will say they like an area based on research and then get here and hate it lol. BUT that’s part of my job…helping people through that process 👍🏽
League City is pretty dope! That’s where I get tattooed lol. I’ve only had one client move there though. They moved to the historic district, it’s a cool spot! It’s just not one that’s on many people’s radar.
The woodlands is ok. Kingwood is ok. Kingwood was annexed by the city of Houston a while back and people are still upset about it. Most of the places are full of country people...just saying...
lol I guess it depends on each individuals idea of “country”. I’m probably the furthest from being country, growing up in South Los Angeles. I’d say I have a handful of friends in Kingwood that are a tad country, but the vast majority of people that I know from The Woodlands and Kingwood are not country at all. I mean they like country music though lol
These are new subdivisions & less than 5 years old. Most Houstonians moved out of Houston areas and smear out to Sugar Land, Katy, Richmond, Rosenberg, Fulshear..Houses are very expensive due to many people moved to TX.
@@rosekroger7147 very true! Seems as the surrounding areas keep developing people keep moving further out. I’m seeing so many people that work remotely now moving as far out as they can. They get so much more for the money.
I was there a few months back with someone moving from CA. That area is in the beginning stages of development, lots of new construction and not much infrastructure in the immediate area. That person in particular wasn’t too excited about the surrounding areas. It’s definitely a place to check out and be sure it’s a good fit.
Which area are you asking about? Property tax varies by where you live. Some parts of town can be around 2% and some can be upwards of 3.7% (the highest I’ve personally seen).
Hey I currently live in the Rancho cucamonga Ca area near victoria gardens area. what suburb would you consider similar to Rancho? Also I grew up in the south bay area so I know the 405 fwy traffic is a trigger lol I work for In n out been with the company 19 yrs so I’m looking to be near a INO as well. ALSO I REALLY NEED DIVERSITY! and good school
@@tiancamadden844 keeping Rancho in mind and being near an in n out, I would suggest Katy, Cypress, and The Woodlands/South Conroe area. I took a screen shot of in n outs and circled the areas but I can’t figure out how to add a picture to this comment lol. Text me at (310) 293-1677 and I can send it to you!

The Woodlands Hills appear to be the even more secret spot
Just had a client close on a Westin home in The Woodland Hills. That is definitely another great up and coming area!

League City by far.

I love this kitchen! I want to sell my house and get a new one.
Thanks! My wife actually designed it herself! Are you currently in Houston?
@@MakingHoustonHome yes Clearlake
@@MakingHoustonHome can you do a video of your kitchen?
Send me your email and I can send you a quick video of my kitchen 😁
@@MakingHoustonHome I did
I don’t think they really understand how that LA traffic hit! 😅😂😂I’ve lived it in real time! Merry Christmas to you and your family Lara!
lol they don’t! I try to tell people here but they don’t get it!
@@MakingHoustonHome it’s not a game! You be glad when you hit that exit to get off the freeway! Anxiety can be 27 out of 10 lol.
@@Mita7401 lol! Y’all have a Merry Christmas!
LA traffic is bad, cuz the infrastructure is worse than in Houston.
@@forwardthinkingtrucker exactly! This loop system in Houston is genius.

This neighborhood called Sunterra, Lakehouse in Katy looks amazing to me. Heard anything about it?
Yes it’s a great new master planned community. When all of the amenities are complete it’s going to be awesome!
@@MakingHoustonHome thxs for the reply. It looks dreamy. I’m trying to get in there!

What you think about Shelton Ridge. I see some new construction in that area

How much are home taxes
Which area are you asking about? Property tax varies by where you live. Some parts of town can be around 2% and some can be upwards of 3.7% (the highest I’ve personally seen).
A lot. For a house worth $350k 5-7k per year. Plus insurance $400/month and utilities $300/month. HOA fees $300-800 yr
I want to move to Houston. Best cheapest outskirts Houston? 250-280
There’s plenty of options on the outskirts of Houston. Areas in Willis, Hockley, New Caney, Porter, Crosby, Dayton, Conroe…
