The real Houston
Over 3 years ago

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

Beaches, etc.
Over 15 years ago

Nice beach access. Some weekends are crowded but weekdays are better if you don't want the crowds. One of the better places to spend time on the Texas Gulf  More
