Considering A Move To Houston Texas?: Pros & Cons Of Living In Houston Texas | Texas Real Estate

Are you thinking about moving to Houston Texas? Let’s explore the pros and cons of living in Houston Texas today!
If you're considering moving to Houston Texas, this video is a must-watch! We dive deep into the pros and cons of living inside Houston's city limits versus the suburbs. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision by outlining the key tradeoffs you need to consider.
One of the major advantages of living in the heart of Houston Texas is the proximity to amenities. Unlike the suburbs, where you might have to drive 15 to 30 minutes to reach essential services and recreational spots, city living means having many of these amenities within walking or biking distance. Areas like The Heights offer a range of bars, restaurants, and shops just minutes away from home, providing a convenient lifestyle that’s hard to beat.
However, this convenience comes at a cost. Housing tends to be more expensive closer to the city center. Despite these higher prices, Houston Texas remains relatively affordable compared to other major metropolitan areas in the United States. This video will help you weigh these factors to determine if city living in Houston Texas, is the right choice for you.

You forgot the worst part. High heat combined with high humidity makes this one of the most uncomfortable places regarding outdoors.

[@NickSellsHouston]

Me walking outside during the summer 😶‍🌫️🥵 lol!

[@angelikareddy3428]

Another point that needs to be covered from anyone moving from out of Texas to anywhere in Texas, they may save in state taxes but they will be hit by huge property taxes, especially when the properties appreciate in value. So houston is underrated but still cost of living is getting expensive with inflation.

[@NickSellsHouston]

Great point! Property taxes in the suburbs usually average around 2.8-3.5% which can add up, especially as home values increase. In older or more established areas, it’s more common to see 1.8-2.5% such as where I’m at inside the loop. Definitely something to keep in mind and talk over with your lender to make sure you have a good idea of what to expect before purchasing. Once you move in, always protest those property taxes, and make sure you file for your homestead exemption and/or any others you qualify for.

Yes, we do have a very good and expensive health system. If you have to ever use the county services, it is worse than third world countries (I have traveled extensively). Harris Health (the county) is expanding with Baylor College of Medicine. About the worst system in the country. Lack of patient care and safety.

[@user-wl9fr9mp6y]

So I honestly feel like people in Houston have some of the worst attitudes- I now have gathered it’s probably because of the heat lol people get hot and irritated 😂

[@NickSellsHouston]

lol! You know I actually hear the opposite from the families I’ve helped move here. They always comment on southern hospitality being a real thing. They’re surprised by it, especially my east coast clients

[@Bnguyen276]

Houston is slowly getting better. All the crimes are getting pushed out to the very edge of the city, maybe because the gentrification is progressing so fast.

[@andreroberts6795]

Oh...dwites will fix the crime right?
