Brookside vs Houston -which is better?
Random thought, I've been here for 20 years and The median home value here is around $264,800, which seems about average. Median household income is $72,031, which feels about average for the area. With a population of 15,262, Brookside is a small town. Poverty rate is 13.9%, which is around average. Average temperature is around 56--F, so the weather is moderate. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Easy commute
- Active local events
Cons:
- Lack of diversity
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Limited cultural events
- Homelessness issues downtown
