Hate to break it to you but you didn't really live in Houston. Kinda makes your case void. Woodlands is about 15 minutes away from the outer loop and 45 from the actual city. That's like saying you're from Nola but youre actually from and live in Slidell...

Live in Houston (Clear Lake, Heights, Katy). I liked different things about all of those areas at different points in my life.

Wife is from Dallas (Coppell, then Frisco)

I like living in Houston, but used to love visiting the inlaws in Coppell and Frisco. BUT I was just visiting, and never had to travel within the city much.

I can barely tell them apart.

Dallas doesn't have Lupe Tortilla, which is a drawback.
Houston has a lot of Whataburgers, which is also a drawback.

Yeah because The Woodlands is like North Baton Rouge with all of the crime.


Talking about Houston, genius. However, crime around The Woodlands is far more than I would have anticipated.

Yes really. It takes 45 min to get to the woodlands without traffic. It’s exactly like living in Covington or Slidell but saying you live in nola

I can give you that given their steadily building new apts and condos every time i drive to the city. But The Heights have grown over the past few years. Three story town homes. I just wanna move back home

Is this really true? Nobody in Uptown I hang out with cares about either. Dallas is fun, end of story. Trivalry does not exist for people not from Texas.

I've been to both and Houston is awful. Lacking character, no city planning so you've got everything jumbled together with no flow, sprawl separated by miles of 7 lane highways, etc etc. Dallas is a bit better in my opinion, but not too much.

Just offering my $.02 as an objective outsider.

Heights has blown up. So expensive now. I might have to move out of the loop to buy. Looking at independence heights but I’m not sure it’s gentrified enough at this point

Dallas is extremely clean and nice. But everything just reeks of try-hard, faux pretentiousness. Very cookie-cutter.

Houston is a gigantic sprawl with pockets of extremely awesome/cool places, but also extremely trashy/ghetto areas.

Inner-loop houston > Dallas
Houston burbs <<< Dallas Burbs

Houston food options >>>> Dallas food options

Yeah Dallas is snobby as frick. And possibly more preppy than Atlanta.

The northern burbs along DNT just added Toyotas North American HQ, the Dallas cowboys practice facility with a huge Omni and office buildings, the legacy west shopping/eating/living area, etc



Prosper to the north is blowing up too.
