I recommend Cypress Far enough from the crime but close enough to get to the hustle and bustle. Semi Semi country and plenty of porch space. Really good schools. Cyfair ISD Look it up

there isn't traffic inside the actual loop, it's on 610 itself, and crime? many parts inside the loop are safer than the Galleria area!
Safer than the Galleria is saying much in my opinion. Hey these people come to this forum for honest answers to important questions regarding an expensive life changing event....moving to a different part of the country. As much as we want to see Houston as we would like it to be, these people need honest answers.

The truth is the city is expensive compared to the suburbs, the schools are bad compared to the suburbs, the crime is higher compared to the suburbs, and the traffic is worse compared to the suburbs. But if "diversity" is their priority, the city is where they should go.

Hi! I'm originally from Brooklyn and biracial, and as far as diversity goes I always feel at home in Houston. Its awesome. Some of these posts are so true, lots of of home options here and it may take time to find what you had in mind. Good luck!

Thank you for all of your replies, I really appreciate it. By the sounds of it, Texas is not much different than NYC, I will do more research on this Texas or maybe another state. Thanks Again

LOL. Not sure where you got that idea even from the thread. If you do move to Texas, there will be culture shock.

Texas and NYC are night and day different. Born and raised in NYC and have been here in the Houston area for 2 years. The only way that they're similar is in the diversity of the people. Culturally though, Texas and NYC don't even compare.....I would never move back to NY.

I don't think you've gotten good replies or read them correctly if that's your takeaway.
There are former New Yorkers who do very well in Houston and there are those who are just miserable here. This is pattern I've noticed -

Those who used to live in Queens or ungentrified Brooklyn and goes into the city no more than once a month usually love Houston.

Those who had a more active lifestyle often find Houston boring by comparison initially. After a couple of years however most of them do find enough of what they used to enjoy in Houston.

Whichever category the transplant belongs there is enough of a difference in the demographics/pace/transportation situation to create culture shock.

If you're moving from Phoenix or Atlanta then there's not much difference.
