Pretty nice place to live. There's not a lot of income here, or jobs, so commuting to Blacksburg to make some money might be your best option. Lots of beautiful city  More

I moved to Houston from the San Francisco Bay area in 1991 after college but I have always had family here. Houston is not what you think of when you think of Texas  More

There's definitely lots of jobs/economic opportunity. It's quite racially diverse if that's your thing. Houston has awful urban sprawl. Expect awful traffic. Hot as hell  More
