Im considering moving away from South Dakota with a buddy from HS and I need some help. Im thinking Houston, hes thinking Dallas. What are some good neighbor hoods for apartments in both cities? Also are there good jobs in the area, Im in the IT field(thinking about going to school for legal filed) and hes a Fire fighter in the Air National guard.

Just any advice that you have about either cities would be great.

 

i think unemployment is non existent in Houston right now, and IT is not the exception. The oil companies(Chevron, Exxon-Mobil,BP) are hiring lots of IT professionals(MIS people)

 

Also like I asked in my first post what are some good places to live in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio?

 

San Antonio is the better place to live imo..

Houston is...houston....

 

the woodlands is also a good spot, north of houston. anadarko(oil company) has a big buildign there as well. i dont know if they are looking for people in IT. but houston has tons of opportunities for that sort of a job. lots of different firefighter jobs here too..

 

Dallas is good depending on what part you live in , i wouldnt recommend moving close to a highschool tho.

 

houston was SO humid when I was there.


My vote is for DFW area. (Dallas fort worth)

DFW has the least fat *** people <than Houston>. (not by much... go to a Walmart in either place you'll get sucked in by their own gravity)


EDIT: above poster is correct, stay away from High schools and colleges---the ghetto surrounds them.

 

i believe it costs more to live in Dallas, Im not sure why.....

Houston has plenty of places to live and ample jobs

 

North Houston, Woodlands, Kingwood, Conroe(Mongomery County) All not bad places, Conroe is cheaper than both of the "woods", just depends on budget i guess, i have gotten to calll Houston the ghetto and Conroe home.

 

3rd ward is good part of town, lots of good schools and ample jobs... you should check it out...

If it's between houston, dallas, and san antonio, Houston would be the best choice. Better job opportunities here and there are lots of nice suburbs of houston (woodlands, sugarland, pearland, friendswood to name a few). If you had your choice of city in TX I would personally pick Austin by miles!

 

Katy-West Houston(Cinco Ranch area) is quite nice, affordable, and pretty safe aswell

 

Thanks everyone, I will check out some of those areas.

 

Houston has more law schools to pick from: STCL, UH, TSU - . Dallas has SMU and Fort Worth has Texas Weslayan. I would recommend a move based on what school you actually get into first.

 

I see you're from Brookings. I went to SDSU and graduated a couple years ago. Houston is okay, just be prepared for the heat and the humidity. Where are you from originally up there?

 

If you move to the DFW area I would recommend a suburb like Arlington or Mansfield or if you want closer to Dallas then Plano or one of those surrounding areas. And not sure about the whole ghetto thing around HS or colleges, it depends on where you live. I live right next to a high school and a college and its actually suburbia hell with a nonexistent crime rate.

 

What part you live at^^^ i always heard to stay away from the highschools cause kids like to fight alot.

 

Houston>DFW>SA>Austin

Come down to Hatertown, "where it gets so damn hot and humid your nuts melt to your leg."

 

Dallas hands down c'mon on bro think about it... Cowboys, Mavericks, Stars, Rangers, and lotz more.... there are nice places in downtown and in the subs... Go with Dallas

 

Im orginally from the Sioux Falls area, I lived on a acreage near Humboldt.
