I INVITE YOU TO COME TO HOUSTON ...
If you decide to try Houston for your future home I can guarantee you 4 things: It is cheap, It has a great arts district, counts with one of the best medical centers in the world and, 90 languages are spoken here. From Cantonese to Swahili, you will find someone to talk to in your language.
It is definitely cheap for a major metropolitan area compared to other major cities in the US. Housing in the city or in the suburbs is very affordable. Some of the school districts in the suburbs are the best in the state of Texas. You can also rent a pretty cool apartment in a trendy area of town for a thousand dollars. Try that in California or New York…
If arts are your thing, and you know they should be, there are world-class symphony, ballet, theatre, and fine arts establishments. The "Museum District," the prettiest part of town, next to the MFAH, HMNS, Houston Zoo, the Menil Collection, and several other fine places to culture yourself and also the kids with a beautiful Children’s Museum where the kids will spend hours and hours and won’t like to leave when it’s already time to close.
In the Texas Medical Center, there is something to meet everybody's needs. Two trauma facilities are located in the center, as are institutions specializing in every imaginable aspect of health care, including care for children, cancer patients, heart care, organ transplantation, terminal illness, mental health, and wellness and prevention. All 47 of institutions of the Texas Medical Center are not-for-profit, and are dedicated to the highest standards of patient care, research, and education. These institutions include 13 renowned hospitals and two specialty institutions, two medical schools, four nursing schools, and schools of dentistry, public health, pharmacy, and virtually all health-related careers. It is where one of the first, and still the largest, air ambulance service was created; a very successful inter-institutional transplant program was developed; and more heart surgeries are performed than anywhere else in the world. It's all here, in Houston at the Texas Medical Center -- and it's here for everyone.
It is a big, diverse city where cultures from all around the world melt together. A visit to the Hong Kong City Mall in Bellaire where the street signs in this city are in English and Chinese, would be a great experience to feel the strong presence of the oriental culture. Come to Houston and you will have the best food you'll ever eat, lots of fun bars and nightclubs, and three major professional sports teams to watch. There's also the Rodeo time during the months of February and March, which is good opportunity to enjoy the best Texan bar-b-que.
Because the baby boomer generation is really booming… Houston counts with many 55 + communities and buildings inside the city andin the suburbs where you can choose the community that better fits your lifestyle and budget when you retire or want to reduce your living space because you have become an empty nester.
What's it actually like to live here, though? Sure, there's a lot of pamphlet material, but your day-to-day life would be pretty good, too.The weather is warm most of the year, with rarely a freeze or snow. In the summer, it gets hot and humid. But at least we have plenty of water, which you won't find in the Southeast right now.
One definite plus to this area versus your other options is that people are very friendly and accommodating.
For all the reasons stated above I invite you to come to Houston and give me a chance to be your realtor. I will work for you until your real estate needs are satisfied no matter if you are purchasing or renting a house or condo. My main goal is to give you the best service so you will consider me as your realtor for life.
