Houston, TX
re: Can't recommend a single thing to see for
-
4/20/2022I lived in Houston for three years and very much enjoyed my time in it. Houston has more to see and do than 90% of US - Space Center? Nice museums (best collection of dinosaur skeletons I ever saw). Rice University? Galveston? A good choice of fun clubs? Some of the best restaurants I tried? To me, this beats/ties just about any place excepting New York, LA and Bay area, with a tie for Chicago perhaps. May be also DC, but I know it less. I lived in West U neighborhood, and somehow mosquitos were never a problem. Humidity sure, did not care much about it. Do not live in the neighborhoods that are known to flood, and you will be fine. Ditto for crime.
You can find neighborhoods with excellent public schools if this is your priority (expensive if near the center but very reasonable in suburbs - Katy, Sugar Land). Wonderful winters but use summer vacation to get a break for heat. Bottom line - I still like coming to Houston when I can! Would easily move back for a right job opportunity.
