7 years living here

I have seen Kingwood decline since we moved here in 2005. Kingwood schools are still the best in Humble ISD. However,the percentage of "free and reduced lunch" children are increasing~which could be possible due to the economy. Kingwood schools still have the highest state scores in the district. However, they are declining every year. The property taxes are high for poor kept roads and services. Kingwood was annexed into the city of Houston several years ago and the city services have declined since then.We see less policemen now than back in 2005. Since living here, I have developed severe asthma and have had to "watch" for ozone days to figure out when I can go outside. I stay mainly inside because of it. Kingwood does have parks and bike trails to enjoy~but, there has been some crime reported on the trails. I have noticed more and more houses for "rent" and the house across the street actually rents out individual rooms. I would have to say that my quality of life has definitely declined since living here. I am looking forward to moving next summer! If choosing to live here, proceed with caution!
