For those of you who may have Houston,TX in your future, let me welcome you to our fair city.
I will be focusing on the many features of our city in future postings.
As most of the rest of the country is dealing with plummeting real estate values and businesses closing left and right and what seems like daily layoffs, Houston has the upper hand.
I won't say that Houston is booming right now,but compared to the rest of the US we are looking really good. Prices for the overall Houston market are stable and Houston business overall is actually growing. Of course there are businesses in our area that are failing and laying off workers,but this happens in a non recessionary time as well.
Something else that makes Houston unique is that we are the 4th largest city in the U.S. but if you ask around a lot of Houstonians will tell you that this feels a lot like a small town considering that fact. You could also say that Houston is MADE up of numerous small towns making up a larger city. I myself live in the Katy area which is on the far west side of town, which is growing like a weed. In addition to Katy, you have areas like Spring Branch, West University, Sugarland, And the Heights. Some of these smaller areas actually have their own police forces and fire service.
To be continued.....
