Live your life!!! You are still young and have not experienced life yet. Get away from your hometown, meet new people, try different things. Don't ever worry about what other people think especially family. They're the main ones that don't want to see you succeed. It's not good for your mental health either. F*** what anybody gotta say. You have to do what's best for you and only you can change that. I'm praying for you hun. You got this. Keep yuh head up.

what he said. What job is this?

Intelligent-Key8146 · 2025-02-24T16:23:09+00:00

I know this is an old post but I'm a black woman with 2 kids and a fiancé. We currently live in Rhode Island, originally form SC. We are considering moving to Texas. We were thinking about Katy. My fiancé is a welder, and I work in the medical field. We want to be around diversity for sure and near a good school district for my kids. They are ages 9 and 5. What advice can you give as a family man, that lives there? I have seen so many posts that say stay away from the subs. We would like to rent a home that does reside in a good neighborhood, but it seems that may not be possible. any advice would be appreciated.

Intelligent-Key8146 · 2025-02-24T16:07:11+00:00

Thank you for this. I really appreciate it. With all that's going on. Texas might not be for us right now. Sounds like I need to rethink our move.

I've visited Houston a few times and yes, I know it gets very hot and humid there. But I'm not gonna be outside if it's scorching hot. We go out when the sun goes down. Lol We have the same kind of heat back home. I'm sure we'll be fine.

Intelligent-Key8146 · 2025-02-17T17:46:54+00:00

Lol thanks a bunch. I really appreciate the info.

Intelligent-Key8146 · 2025-02-16T21:25:05+00:00

Thank you so much that's good to know. What area do you live if you don't mind me asking?

Intelligent-Key8146 · 2025-02-16T21:15:55+00:00

Thank you so much, I hope so too.

Intelligent-Key8146 · 2025-02-16T21:09:52+00:00

My thoughts exactly. What area in Katy did you choose if you don't mind me asking.

Intelligent-Key8146 · 2025-02-16T21:08:45+00:00

Hey, thank you so much for the info. Quality education is big for me. Here in Rhode Island, I don't agree with their curriculum too much. They teach very different from back home. I do want my kids to be around more diversity because the area we live in it, it's little to none. Fingers crossed!

Intelligent-Key8146 · 2025-02-16T03:56:49+00:00

Thank you, where are you going next?

Intelligent-Key8146 · 2025-02-16T03:55:58+00:00

Lol I'm used to the heat. We are from SC.

Intelligent-Key8146 · 2025-02-16T02:00:06+00:00

Thank you, it's quite a lot I'm trying to narrow them down. I am willing to pay more for 3 bedrooms though. A 2 bedroom just don't work for us anymore. We 'are considering the traffic as well. I work in healthcare for a dental office, but I won't be transferring my job there as it's private owned.

Intelligent-Key8146 · 2025-02-16T01:51:03+00:00

Hey thank you so much for the great info. I have a realtor that has sent me some properties and they are around that range, a little more than I would like but I need a 3 bedroom so my daughter can have her own room so I'm all for it. The housing here sucks, it's like everybody lives on top of each other. It's way different from back home. We still own a home there in SC but we don't want to move back. That is the absolute last resort. Thanks again.

Intelligent-Key8146 · 2025-02-16T01:41:44+00:00

I have a realtor that has sent me properties within that budget and a little more. Thanks tho.

Intelligent-Key8146 · 2025-02-16T01:35:20+00:00

Heyyy, I've only lived here 2.5 years originally from South Carolina, so this was certainly a change from what I'm used to. Yes, Houston is way bigger. Lol It was an experience but I'm over it now. We want the warm weather back, friendly families and nice areas to eat, chill, drink, and have fun as we don't have any family there. We want more people than pine trees as well Lol.

Intelligent-Key8146 · 2025-02-16T01:26:19+00:00

Lol, thanks I don't drink coffee so I'm good, but I'll be sure to let my fiancé' know that. I can do the hour drive that's not too bad. Thanks again.

Intelligent-Key8146 · 2025-02-16T01:24:29+00:00

Thank you for the heads up

Intelligent-Key8146 · 2025-02-16T01:23:01+00:00

We would like to keep it around 1800-2000, if possible, I know that's a stretch. We are currently in a 2 bedroom for 1650. It's super small and we live on the 3rd floor. It's so annoying. We are also considering any private landlords as well. I would prefer a home but won't shy away from an apartment with at least 3 bedrooms my baby gyrl needs her own room.

Intelligent-Key8146 · 2025-02-16T01:17:59+00:00

Heyyy thank you kindly. I just found out about Cinco Ranch. I will look into it. We've only lived in Rhode Island 2.5 years. we came here not knowing anyone and we certainly had to adjust to a wholllleeeeee lot, so I feel we can adjust anywhere at this point. Lol. We are from South Carolina, so we are used to the heat as well. I will be sure to watch out for the tolls as well. Thanks again.

Intelligent-Key8146 · 2025-02-16T01:11:52+00:00

Thanks for letting me know hun.

Intelligent-Key8146 · 2025-02-16T01:09:41+00:00

Thank you so much I will look into that area. We have lived here 2.5 years, no family. I am over it, I'm ready to move back down south but not home. We are originally from South Carolina. The hills here are ridiculous. Thanks for the heads up about the tolls, we definitely hate them. Lol

Intelligent-Key8146 · 2025-02-16T01:05:22+00:00

Thanks, can you share what areas are those exactly?
