Best Place For Single Mom
Star Rating - 11/17/2011
Hello All,

Im looking for some advice or info on what is considered the better side of town in Houston or areas that are family friendly. A little background info, I am a 29 y/o african american single mother to a 9 y/o. Im relocating to Houston from Wisconsin due to the job opps in my field which is healthcare. Just wondering where are the best/ safest areas to live, best schools, and how is a bit of the social scene? Any advice or info would be great... Thanks!

The West Houston area is growing very fast and there are GREAT schools in Katy ISD. Two new hospitals have been built in the past couple of years, Medical center at Memorial is huge and growing. West Houston is slated to become the medical center west, with another hospital due to break ground in a couple of years. Katy has 4 high schools ranked in the top high schools list in the country, out of 8. Anyone who says we don't have theater, museums, music, or authentic food must not be looking too hard. We have all of those and the rodeo (which I ignore).
