Review of Houston, Texas


"The Bubble" is safe but low on diversity
Star Rating - 4/16/2016
I moved here from the Upper Midwest. It turns out that many people from the Midwest prefer to live in Kingwood. It is very much like home except that everything is more expensive (unless you hail from Chicago). Almost no one here is a native Texan. There is a big British population and a big Dutch population. If you are looking to avoid culture shock in Texas, this is a good place to live, as there are more natural blondes here than probably anywhere else in Houston, and everyone speaks English. (If they have an accent, they are likely from Louisiana...lots of people from Louisiana here, which is its own kind of melting pot.) If you are looking for a full-scale cultural experience, other areas of Houston would be a better choice.
