Hey everybody, I was hoping some of you could help me out. As per my title, I'm a very conservative, religious 26 year old living in NJ all my life, and I'm just about fed up with all the nonsense my state (and this part of the country) have to offer. My views on religion, abortion, immigration, gun rights, and just about any political issue I can think of, leans heavily to the right, practically in total opposition to everyone else around here. That said, I recently visited your state last August (Galveston/Houston), and I had a really great time. Everyone was extremely nice & polite, easy going and friendly. That notwithstanding, the fact that Texas tends to be quite the "red state" makes it an attractive option for me. This is all of course still in the beginning stages, but I was wondering if anyone can point me in a decent (i.e., low-crime) suburban area. I know this is a very general request, but I'm not too sure where to begin looking. I work in a collections department in a law firm so I'd think it would be necessary for me to have easy access to large cities and their firms for work, unless such businesses could be found in suburban areas (which they are here- but I'm not trying to hate or anything - I just don't know how it works over there). Can anyone help? Thanks.

Check Spring ,Texas zip code 77379, or Tomball(which is right next door) 77375 it is very nice here. I live in the Champions area.There are alot of nice neighborhoods such as Gleannloch Farms, Champion Forest, Champion Springs, Memorial Creek Estates, etc. There are alot of churches out here, I go to Houston NW Baptist which is awesome and more evangelical and more relaxed. We are on the NW side of houston and the commute to houston is not bad, if you want to go further north, The Woodlands is nice also. Check out www.har.com for ideas on neighborhoods. I like where I live. We have good schools(Klein ISD) and parks within your neighborhoods, alot of shopping and churches.

Truth be told, I'd say any middle-to-upper-middle-class suburban area (especially exurban) will fill your bill. In Houston's case, that would be the North and West sides. Personally, I'd look to the NW and N sides due to the possibility of hurricane storm surge (stay away from water bodies!)

South Austin, Zip code 78704. You'll have a right good time there.

Bratt, that is just mean. Don't listen to him. 78704 is the most liberal zip code in all of Texas. I love SoCo and used to live in 78704 (and I soooo... miss it!), but it ain't red, that's for sure!

If you narrow down a general area of the state you are interested in (North, Panhandle, East, Central, West, South, etc.), we could probably direct you better. The state is so huge that you can live in any type of terrain and climate you desire.

I will second what SkyeAngel said, the NW side of Houston has many churchs, it's very conservative and you will feel right at home. Truthfully! There are many good churchs in Houston as well. We live in Cypress, 77429 which is close to all the areas SkyAngel mentioned. Tomball, Spring, Magnolia, and the north side of town has the most trees. Ravensway is a nice affordable neighborhood.
Longwood is very nice but more expensive. Someone posted lots of pics of Longwood on here not long ago. You will be surrounded by Christians in this neck of the woods.

You might want to look into Schertz or Cibolo.

They are rapidly growing suburbs in northeast San Antonio smack dab between SA and New Braunfels, a larger suburb of SA.

Both are middle and upper middle class conservative towns with low crime rates and much to offer.
