The good and bad of living in Houston

First post here. The median home value here is around $253,400, which seems about average. It's a a major city city with about 2.3M people. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Should I be concerned? Cheers.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value outdoor recreation, you'll love it. The community vibe is genuinely decent and I've found the quality of life is solid. My neighborhood (West) is wild and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Baltimore, be prepared for the culture shock. pet-friendliness is completely different here. And Chain restaurants dominate.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Weather-wise, the summers are tough and winters are developing. You get used to it after the first year.
