Houston Diversity and Inclusion
Houston is a diverse metropolis, a melting pot of cultures and ethnicities. You will enjoy pretty much every type of cuisine here, and get to meet people from all over the world. This continues to make Houston home to many diverse cultures and a thriving economy.
Getting around Houston
Houston is a BIG city with smaller cities within it (such as West University and Bellaire) as well as large suburbs on the outskirts (such as Katy, Pearland and Sugar Land). Traffic can be an issue during peak rush hours, and if you don’t drive it is a challenge to walk between neighborhoods in Houston or bike for that matter. Houston is not friendly for walkability between neighborhoods, however, some areas like Rice Village, Upper Kirby, Montrose and the Heights are just a few areas that are very walkable within them for shops, businesses and restaurants. There is a lack of efficient public transportation, so it definitely helps to have a car to get around the city (or at least Uber/Lyft).
Outdoor Recreation in Houston
While it may be hot outside during the summer, the rest of the year has mild outdoor temperatures for you to enjoy the outdoors with some recreational activities. Houston is a bayou city and has trails alongside them for you to walk or bike. Furthermore, the city stewards more than 25,000 acres of parkland, including trails by Allen Parkway and Memorial Park (Houston Parks and Recreation).
Houston Entertainment
Houston is a food haven - check out one of our recent articles on the top Houston restaurants you must try. There are lots of sports to watch, including the Houston Astros, Houston Rockets, Houston Texans and Houston Dynamo. Furthermore, for fine art lovers, check out the Houston Museum District’s collection of 19 museums, galleries, cultural centers and community organizations located in Houston, Texas.
Cost of Living in Houston
Houston is a large and diverse city with many opportunities and a low cost of living relative to other major cities. Houston has the third lowest living costs among the most populous U.S. metro areas, according to the C2ER Cost of Living Index 2023 Q2
What month is best to move to Houston?
Moving in the wintertime means better inventory of homes and more affordable pricing, given lower demand. However, Fall and early Spring are also good times of year to relocate.
