"Houston's a Great Place to Live!" Houston by GroovyDoc

Lots of benefits!

Houston's a wonderful place to live because the cost of living is low, there is a diversity of people, and you get the benefits of living in a large city. It's so big, though, that the suburbs seem like much smaller towns of their own. I wouldn't recommend coming to Houston for a week's vacation, but if you're thinking of moving to a place with a warm climate and lots to do, this is the place!

Best Restaurants

Some of the best asian restaurants are in Houston! I've been to San Jose and San Francisco which are loaded with asian places, but they're overpriced and overrated. Houston's asian restaurants are the opposite!

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Best shops, best restaurants, low cost of living.
  • Cons:The hot weeks in July/August. (Find relief in a pool!)
