Yup, Inwood North here. My parents still live there... going on 30 years now. Uncle and aunts too. Neighborhood's gone down but what can you do. Actually, it seems like the neighborhood itself isn't too, too bad but the surrounding areas . When you see trash just littering empty lots then you know the people there have just kinda given up.
Ugh they're both cookie cutter suburbs. Inside the loop beats them both; especially close to Montrose and Midtown. I have a house right between River Oaks and West U. which has a bit of an Austin feel.
lol you're right that was a very arrogant comment. I apologize. I'm in Austin right now and this place gives you a really anti-suburban attitude.
Clear Lake was a nice step up from Baytown after high school. Really miss Houston, even though Omaha's perfectly livable.
No, exurbs would be places like Lake Jackson, Brookshire, Prairie View/Hempstead, hell, even Bryan/College Station is considered a far NW exurb. The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Katy, etc., are typical suburbs.
Yeah, it's really worked out well for Carl Landry so far. I mean, besides the whole getting shot thing.
There are freeways leading to and from Sugar Land. I live there, and it's way easier to get into town than it is from Pearland.
Having lived in the suburbs of houston my whole life I think I'd prefer a) living closer in a smaller place with less yard to avoid the crappy drives. or b) living way the hell outside the city and having a larger house with a few acres. No "suburbia traffic" but the occasional longer commute into town. The middle ground (sugarland, pearland, clear lake, woodlands etc..) is becoming unbearbable IMO. Driving around my "suburb" should not be worse than the freeway at rush hour, but it's getting pretty damn close. Having every bloody corner turn into another freeking shopping mall is just clogging things further. Cramming bigger and bigger houses on the same lot size with a 10' x 5' backyard is not my idea of comfortable living. I'm leaning towards option "b" when I move in a few years.
We are kind of in the same boat but we don't think that we would fit in with any of the out in the country crowd. Plus, with the way things sprawl, where exactly would you go? We like the Hill Country but it is expensive and anywhere that is nice seems to get developed like crazy. You can't buy something now and know that it will remain the same in 10 or 20 years.
How so? Sugar Land has been in the top 10 in the most safest cities in the U.S. It also got some award for being Green. With the amount of people living here now and it still managing it's great profile from the past, that itself speaks for itself. I've been to the Woodlands, it not nearly as good as it is here in Sugar Land.
The only difference between Sugar Land and The Woodland is Sugar Land = Asian/White; The Woodlands = White.
That's not true.. Sugar Land is so diverse... it has every kind of culture here, I've seen every kind of race that's out there here in Sugar Land.
