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

Estero, FL is wonderful in every way. It is an upscale village sitting between SW Florida International Airport in Fort Myers, FL, and the posh city of Naples, FL.  More

A slice of paradise exists here in southwest Florida! Winters are warm with average highs in the 70s along with abundant sunshine. Morning lows average in the 50s.   More
