re: Think twice before moving here

7/22/2019Your review is spot-on. My kids can't ride their bikes anywhere because of a lack of sidewalks. It's very frustrating. Very unfriendly city for bikers, runners, and walkers. Traffic has gotten beyond ridiculous. The mall they built is frustrating because it's an outdoor mall - who likes to walk around outside in 90 degree heat with 80% humidity?

Muggy heat and very little to do. -
7/22/2019I've lived here for 7 years now. It's one of the most boring places I've ever lived. Yes, it's great for kids since it has good schools, but that's about it. If you want a nice shopping environment you have to go into Houston (horrid traffic) or Sugarland (quite a trek). The traffic issue in Pearland has gotten ridiculous - Broadway is the main street and it's always backed up. For half the year it is too hot and so muggy. It's hard because you feel like you're trapped in your house. Summer is very challenging. There's nothing to do because of the heat, except swim and that gets old fast. I can't wait to move.

Way too hot. -
7/28/2018I moved her 6 years ago for a job. I lived in Seattle for 13 yrs, and before that was raised in northern California. If beautiful surroundings mean anything to you, you will not be happy in Houston. It's just ugly. It's much too hot for most of the year, and even in the winter months, when the heat cools down, it's still humid. I get this gross slimy stuff on my windshield in the winter months. It's very limited as far as outdoor recreation is concerned. The beach is absolutely disgusting and because of the heat hiking is out - IF they had any hills or mountains to hike on, which they don't. I miss that a lot - being able to get outdoors and hike or go sailing without getting heat sickness.

7/28/2018I hate Houston so much. The poor city planning, the pot holes, the nasty humid heat which lasts at least half the year. I'm so jealous you get to leave! I'm bored out of my mind.

Gorgeous place to live with a lot of recreation -
9/4/2017I've lived in many different places in the U.S., and I loved Bellevue. Gorgeous mid-sized city with views of the cascades and beautiful lakes.

9/4/2017The allergies are the WORST. I know a ton of people who had to go on meds after moving here- they had never had allergies before. I moved here from Seattle and felt like my sinuses had been hit by a mack truck.

It's way to hot and way too humid! -
9/4/2017Summer really lasts for about 6 months here. That would be great, except summer means horrible heat and humidity. You feel trapped.
