Are there any areas in Houston that do not have issues with flooding? I'm planning a visit soon to check out a few areas. I would like to find a place where most 30yo professionals reside and socialize. Hoping to find a place to enjoy long term without the headache flooding ruining my stay. Thank you.

Try to stay as far away from the bayous as possible. All areas can flood when there is +10 inches of rain fall in one area over a short period of time. Most areas easily get street flooding but the communities lining the bayous get flooded homes.

Montrose or Midtown for non-flooding 30 yr old professionals.

Not only agree with you, also loved your phrasing.

Cinco Ranch is a master planned community. Now it may flood on the streets but never impassable. Cinco South West has never had an issue with flooding although I'm not sure how the new 1093 expansion will impact it.


After Hurricane Ike the power outage only lasted 18 hours (under 2 days) in Cinco SW. Most of our power is underground. Katy is also out of hurricane strike zone.


You should consult flood planes. Consult the property taxes for various counties. Fort Bend is high as is Harris.

Hey, at least if the area floods you can swim to work! Mwahaha ;-)

I feel it is a good question the OP asked and is one I'll keep in mind for the future :-)
