Houston, TX Area Reviews
Teddy • 4+ years in Houston
April 3, 2025I grew up in H-town. Its a good place to live. Plenty of stuff to do and great restaurants abound. I recommend living on the Northwest side though. Like out in the Cypress area off 290. Its a little out of town, but you have everything you need there.
