Buckhead is much more like the Galleria area than The Woodlands.

The Woodlands is akin to some of the northern suburbs of Atlanta.

Ah, another out of towner whose only experience in atlanta has been the area around the GA dome..

My buddy lived in houston the last 2 years and just recently moved back this spring. The State farm by his place in houston flew the Mexican flag daily..and only that one! Like not even an American flag with it...literlaly just the flag of Mexico. Say what you will about parts of atlanta being "ghetto" but I'd rather live with that than feel like I'm in a foreign country.

According to the 2010 U.S. Census, whites made up 51% of Houston's population; 26% of the total population was non-Hispanic Whites.

Atlanta, many different ethnicities.

Houston is much more diverse and it's not even close.
quote:

All different types of neighborhoods to live in.

The Heights, River Oaks, West U, Museum District, Rice Military, Upper Kirby, Downtown, etc.
quote:

Wherever you live majority of what you need for essential living is less than 5 minutes away from home.

You can just about say this about any major city. That is if there's no traffic...

Mostly all major companies are here or have a regional office here so that tell you money is here to be made.

In 2017, Atlanta headquartered 26 Fortune 1000 companies vs. 35 in Houston.

So you're counting that as a negative for Atlanta? Your racism is noted.

Haven't spent more than a day or so in Houston, but I can tell you unless you're 25 or younger, Buckhead is a terrible place.

East Andrews area? Absolutely. Around Lenox and Phipps? Not true.

It depends. I don't go over by the malls much due to traffic. But plenty of Buckhead areas are decidedly not terrible.

There are residential neighborhoods throughout Buckhead, large ones in fact, and they're unique for big cities and far from "terrible."
