I’m aware…but I specifically mentioned the tank battery fire they had…which would have been the one off of Battleground.

You’re right…it feels like Deer Park…unless you enjoy basking in the glow of the lights from the towers at PEMEX or breathing in the smoke from pygas storage tanks burning at ITC…I’ll stick to only spending 9 hours of my day here.


That’s a bit dramatic. It’s not even that excessive. It definitely beats cookie cutter ville full of hermit transplants that majority of Houston has become.

How is the Eastwood area? Seems decent enough from aerial shots. 22 min to my office, 20 min to downtown/montrose area. Seems like a happy medium.

How old are you? If young and single, you want to be in The Heights...if older and single, you want to be closer to the SW part of inner loop.

SE/E side of Houston is not great.

Very hood adjacent albeit slowly gentrified. Lock you shite up type of close. If you are trying to go out drinking and chasing white women, you’ll be ubering to the heights, and Montrose every weekend

That really goes for all of east downtown.

I’d look more near east River 9 along navigation if I was thinking about renting over there. Newer apartments. They are building out the Buffalo bayou park over there.

Montrose is great if you can dig up an old duplex. The rents that bad in some them

To clarify, I think he's talking inside the HW8 (Sam Houston Tollway) loop. Outside it, toward Webster, Seabrook, League City, Clear Lake (SE side of town) and Mont Belvieu (east side at I-10 MM 800) are good to great places.

I'm not familiar with DP, LaPorte, Pasadena, or Baytown so no comment on them.

Boring suburb life. It’s fine if you work the plants are married

LaPorte


Really bifurcated. On the water houses are nice but it’s next to growing port terminal. Traffic sucks. Foreign truckers everywhere.

Pasadena


Little Mexico

Baytown


A mix of La Porte and deer park

This might sound lib as hell but the rates of prostate cancer at my old workplace were insane and I couldn’t help but draw the conclusion that working/living there for 20 years is terrible for you

Dire you know your stuff. Google says Eastwood house I'm looking at is 22min away (17mi). Let's assume thats actually 40-45min with traffic. If I do Montrose, that's an hour each way every day. Not sure I can stomach that



Chicken, I'm 31 and single. That's why I'm leaning away from Seabrook/Clearlake now

I'm old and married so no comment on the "night life." I can say there are lots of single "kids" (at my age they're all kids) all over JSC.
