Random thought, Military spouse here. You can expect to pay around $1,200 for rent here. Crime rate is something to consider -Texas City sits at 400.7 per 100K. The unemployment rate is 4.6%, which is about average. Average temperature is around 71--F, so it's warm year-round. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The city has invested a lot in new development.
