That's everywhere. Those people live 10 minutes from the Heights, West U, The Woodlands, Sugar Land, everywhere. Houston has that real bad.

Especially in the Loop. Where Downtown is, to the west is the "nice" areas - West U, Bellaire, Heights, etc. To the east is the ghetto. Notice the close proximity.

Gotta love Houston. $Million here, 5-10 minutes from ya section 8 housing.

Good luck OP. Houston is really subjective on what's great and what's not. And seriously, any place you can name that's great has some really not so great VERY close by

If you can combine excellent public schools AND private schools, close in, and little to no commute then you have something.
Memorial in Houston has that, and it's why it's increasing in value daily.Schools give a sense of stability,even though only about 60% of residents use the public ones.Thus the public schools are flush with money, yet not huge class sizes.

Throw out the good schools it would still be nice, but not appreciating. Add a commute of over 30+ minutes it would be as flat as most of the satellite burbs. No schools and a commute, then you have nothing.

Worst area of Houston to me is Fondren SW, and it's ability to start creeping into nicer areas and change them for the worse.

Its really not..they have sum very nice neighborhoods in side acres homes. I know the city is in the process of cleaning the area up and turning the area around. I have some friends in their mid 20's that are actually buying homes in the area. The area has big homes with with tons of big trees.
