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

Love it here except for the price and the winters

PROS: Close to the water, very picturesque, hilly and not flat like much of Long Island. High quality of life, low crime rate, clean, hometown feeling. Community  More
