Golden Triangle (Southeast Tx) best places for families

Beaumont, Orange and Port Arthur areas. I know it’s got a lot of rough pockets but where are the nice pockets for families?
Orange doesn’t seem awful. I’ve heard of Nederland and Port Neches.
At the surface, it seems like the access to hunting and fishing is a big plus. Also an easy drive to BR. Hell could go to an LSU game and be home around midnight. Then there’s the proximity to Houston and LC for other stuff as well. Negative can be it’s proximity to the gulf if a storm is coming.

Thomas Road in Beaumont is where the ballers live.

Vidor, Texas, was once known as a ``sundown town,'' a place where African-Americans weren't welcome after dark
quote:
The racial makeup of the city was 95.7% White, 0.1% African American, 0.5% Native American, 0.5% Asian, 0.2% Pacific Islander, 1.5% from some other races and 1.5% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino people of any race were 5.1% of the population.

Go a little more west to Hampshire -Fannett area between Beaumont and Winnie. 20 minute drive to Beaumont or Port Arthur.

Good answer.
Stay away from Beaumont and Port Arthur. And if you go to the country, spend the money to make sure the house won't flood. Some homes in SETX should've never been built.

Choose north of the interstate. Orange, etc doesn't handle major hurricanes well, at all.....Ike was terrible for family there.

The cost of everything within 50 miles of Houston is just unreasonable. A nice house in the areas mentioned is a fraction of the cost to that around Houston.
I want acreage which is much more affordable around the golden triangle than it is near Houston.

Not true. 100% Mexican family has lived there for 4 generations and will never leave.

It's 95% white and was one of the biggest KKK areas for years.
They truly and passionately hate blacks in that town.
Please read the part that showed Hispanic or Latino people of any race were 5.1% of the population

Totally overblown bullshite from a story that happened a long time ago involving section 8 housing forcing integration.
Vidor is no different than any other small town in Texas.
