With our affordable and stable market, a move to the Houston area makes good sense. Houston has two major airports, as well as dozens of private airfields and airports for the commuter or private pilot. Culture is important as well, with twenty museums, twenty universities, and every kind of dining and entertainment you can ever imagine. We also have the symphony, ballet, and the opera as well as the most highly respected medical center in the world.
Texas has no state income tax, and our economy has remained more stable than most of the rest of the country mostly due to our extreme diversity of business. The Port of Houston is one of the largest ports in the world, providing entry for goods to be shipped to all points in the central USA. Houston has an excellent road system with loops and major highways providing easy access from one part of town to the other, and HOV and toll roads taking the load in peak traffic times.
There is no zoning here, so you really need to know about the Deed Restrictions in the area that you are considering purchasing a home in. Quality of life is good here, with homes being moderately priced and a great value when compared to other major metro areas across the country. Overall, the Houston area is still a wonderful place to call home!
