Spend some time in Illinois, Michigan, Ohio or NY and get back to me..... "wrong with the South" is less to do with North vs. South and more to do with rural vs. industrial.
why? Use your aggresive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you. So would you move there? The main complaint seems like racist, idiots, low class. I guess that's bad enough but you get that in many other places too. So there must be a specialized concentration there. Appreciate the answers guys.
So you think Conroe has the extreme ghettoness of each race? Can you elaborate on your hatred of conroe a little more? I appreciate it.
i have my reasons, but i don't really care to into them. i, personally, hate conroe. iv'e had some good times on the lake(it's impossible not to have fun on a lake), but beyond that i think the area is a skid mark.
yeah and the neighborhoods seem pretty nice too. I just seems easy to say what a craphole it is when lake conroe has more atmosphere than most of Houston. I am just trying to understand what makes it so much worse than anywhere else in Houston besides being far...crime should be seemingly less than in greater houston
Well appreciate that you hate it ..I have an opportunity to potentially live there and I am trying to understand about the place. I feel the same way about dallas as you do and that has to do with the people in dallas.. and their failing at life. I am leaning against conroe for these kinds of reasons, but at the same time I have no beef with anything when Im there, and the place seems nice enough.
Isn't/wasn't there some giant KKK compound or something up there? I know coming back from the Renaissance Festival once back in the 90's, I saw it as I passed by. I think that was in Conroe. I don't know much else about Conroe. I always pass through it, but don't recall ever stopping. After reading this thread, maybe I shouldn't... lol.
I don't know but I used to live in Tomball and at night we'd hear activity in the woods. Always suspected kkk.
I think Conroe's great, but I saw Harry and the Hendersons at Del Lago, and The Burbs in the Thousand Trails video room over there; so I guess I'm a little biased.
This. I lived in Conroe for about 7 years. West of 45 is fairly nice in contrast to the eastern side. Teaswood is one of the nicest communities in the Houston metro if you're in that bracket. 45 was always a mess though in terms of construction and accidents. Bottom line is if you stay west of 45 it's nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be. Quiet with easy access to the woodlands.
I-45 is certainly the divider in Conroe from what I can tell, but I wouldn't want to live in most parts. At least it's not Willis though. You know the definition of mass confusion? Father's Day in Willis. I live in Montgomery (Walden) and it's nice here, although it's growing a bit too much and maybe a bit too fast. April Sound (mostly older people), Del Lago, Bentwater, Grand Harbor, and the other lake areas are all nice. I've been here in Montgomery for about 15 years now (lived in April Sound for a while before Walden) and have seen lots of changes, some good, some bad (apartments popping up, but at least they're nice, some trashier people with new money moving in, etc), but overall I like it. My wife works in Magnolia and it seems pretty bad in some spots too, but better than Tomball. For this area, Montgomery is pretty much the only place I'd live except for maybe The Woodlands.
Conroe is no different from any other town/suburb. You have nice areas, bad areas, trailer park areas, gated communities, million dollar homes, run down shacks, great people, racist people, parts of town that are that are nice and parts of town you wouldn't step foot in. Like others have said, most areas around/on the lake are pretty nice.
I do some field work in Conroe every few weeks and I agree with everyone that says the west side is "better" than the east, but that really isn't saying too much. If there's anything that I've learned from Conroe/Magnolia/Willis/Cut and Shoot/Livingston/The Boonies... It's that I need to live within 20 miles of a large city. Rural living isn't for me. Side note: Nearly half (or quite possibly more) of the people I encounter in Conroe are missing at least one tooth
I work in Conroe, dealing mostly with people. Also worked in Cypress, Klein, Tomball, the Woodlands and the Willowbrook area. Conroe is unlike every single one of those other places, it's straight garbage. There are plenty of nicer areas in Conroe, by the lake, but those people stay in the lake area, or go to the Woodlands.
