Looking At Houston Real Estate:  Tips For Would Be Houston Residents

by iwhcvd

Maybe you're looking for affordable housing without moving out
into the middle of nowhere.  Maybe you're job is taking you down
south. Whatever the reason, it sounds like life is calling you to
Houston, TX. Before you move all the way down there, you might be
interested in learning a little bit more about what Houston is
like.

First of all, you should understand that Houston is a really
spread out city, and as such, there are many smaller cities and
suburbs that fall under the heading of "Houston" when discussed
from the outside.  You can spend two hours driving from one side
of "Houston" to another, without traffic.  It's a huge area that
encompasses urban areas like Downtown, suburbs like Katy, and
regions such as the Woodlands.

When you're moving into the city, be sure to figure out which
area you need to be in for your job or other needs.  Because not
only is Houston spread out, it also is home to a lot of traffic. 
In fact, I'm not sure if saying "a lot of traffic" will really
prepare you for what you're in for.  Houston has ridiculous
traffic.  Stop and go on the interstate in the middle of the day
traffic.  Don't even start my on rush hour.  I can not truly
communicate how terrible the traffic can be.

Which is why you want to make sure you move in as close to your
area of work/obligation as is possible.  You're quality of life
will be greatly improved if you're not spending 3 hours in the
car everyday just trying to get to work and back.  Trust me on
this, its worth paying more for location in Houston.

Speaking of undesirable aspects of Houston, I do want to say
that yes, the rumors are true.  Houston is hot.  Very hot, some
of the time.  However, unless you're quite sensitive to hot
weather, I don't think you'll find it unbearable or anything. 
The heat and humidity take a bit to adapt to, but it certainly
can be done.  Don't let this dissuade you.

As for cultural attractions, or simply "things to do,"  Houston
has you covered fairly well assuming you're not much into outdoor
sports, because, let's face it, the mountain biking here is a
little weak.  Houston is home to many theaters, museums, concerts
hall, bars, clubs, restaurants, and all the shopping any sane
person could ever want.  In fact, because there isn't much to do
outdoors, Houston has an amazing array of shops, restaurants, and
night life attractions available.  You'll probably be able to
find anything you want within some sort of driving distance
(remember the spread out thing).

In my opinion, these points should help give you a basic idea of
what you're getting when you move to Houston.  The most negative
aspect is the traffic, and the most positive is the numbers of
things to do.  Overall, not a bad region to live in.
