I'm moving to Houston from Cincinnati, Ohio in September. I know, major culture shock. It's me, my boyfriend, and our dog. We're in our late 20's. Any advice on where to live?

I'm moving to Houston from Cincinnati, Ohio in September. I know, major culture shock. It's me, my boyfriend, and our dog. We're in our late 20's. Any advice on where to live?

We'd like to live in a neighborhood where we can meet people our age or older, make friends, take our dog for a walk, and generally socialize. My boyfriend's office is on Northwest Fwy, so anything within 30-40 mins is ideal.

Answers:


Houston is a driving city, and thirty to forty minutes to work could be wishful thinking at times. Do you have a better description of where the office is along the freeway. One area that might be for you is the Heights. This was originally the German neighborhood of Houston. The area is undergoing great changes now. It is close to downtown, and it has fairly good access to the different freeways. The area has a mix of new homes (particularly town homes) with the older cottages form the twenties. Some parts of the Heights have become quite walkable. With more information, I could make a better suggestion.

We are probably going to move to short-term housing first - a condo or something similar until we can get acclimated to the area and decide what neighborhood to live in. His office is 13100 Northwest Freeway. Does this help? Thank you for your help!
