"The Bubble" is safe but low on diversity - 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 you are looking for a full-scale cultural experience, other areas of Houston would be a better choice.

What we did not understand before buying a home here is that, while we purchased a home based on the usual rule about how much home you can afford, most people here are spending maybe 5-10 percent of their income on housing, which makes a big difference in terms of affording upkeep.

Virtually all changes to the exterior of your home and/or yard must be pre-approved. Our neighbor said he had to have his back yard pergola professionally built three times because the HOA said it didn't meet guidelines. You are also required to have a certain number of trees in your yard (yes, really), and expect a fight if you want to
