你們好.... 我將會在2015年relocate 到Houston, 對依個地方一無所知.... 依段時間不停咁睇city-data, 鎖 ...

👋👋

我十歲到大學前都住Houston....我爸媽哥嫂現在還住sugar land.....我今年暑假都返過去一個月。你先生將在那區返工？

我聽阿媽講，fort bend isd現在最好的高中同elementary 係Clements 同 colony meadows...初中佢冇講，我估Austin 都好。我自己就係settlers way -> first colony -> Clements....Houston 其中比較好的高中係bellaire high.

你有乜問題可私訊我，我媽也正好在港，我地住左係houston卄年，舅父佢地成四十年，好熟悉。我幾年後也可能返去。

I'm living in Houston, but in the Energy Corridor area~

The housing market in Sugar Land area is very active, and a decent single family house with reasonable pricing is hard to find (need to act fast as there will be several bidders). First and foremost is to find a place to live in your desire area before the summer, as you need the closing statement and utility bills to enroll your son in the local middle school.
Sugar land has a really great school district but a very competitive one, because it has a very high Asian population (Indian and Asian). Highway 59's traffic is usually terrible during the traffic hours, so please put it in consideration if your or your spouse has to work in downtown or medical center area.

I never mind the rain from the sky, as long as I have the sun in your eyes~

Thanks 多多綠茶!!
Most likely my hubby will work at the downtown area, and we will bear in mind for the bad traffic in Houston. My office is somewhere near South Freeway 77047.... with the good school and safe environment, we rather choose to suffer the bad traffic and rent a single family house in First Colony area... :)

How about Pearland? Do you know anything with this area?

Cheers,
IYY

Though I have friends living in Pearland, I'm not too familiar with the area myself. However, it definitely has a more affordable housing than Sugarland (First Colony).
If your job is near highway 288, you can put Pearland in your consideration too. Your husband can take 288 North to downtown. Bad traffic can be very frustrating if it takes more than an hour to drive each way everyday, maybe Stafford or Missouri City would be a good idea too. They are right next to Sugarland but have a much lower property tax rate.

如你所講﹐那就好多地方都唔住得人。美西有地震﹐美東有雪﹐中部有龍捲風。

Oh yeah, now I remember that. Was it in Sugarland? Or Pearland? This is an exceptional case which only happens once in a very long while in greater Houston area.
From my personal experience, I have been living in West Houston for over 15 years, have never came across with a tornado whatsoever. I would worry more about the heavy rain storm than tornadoes.

I live in sugar land. Tornados are very rare. I think I have heard of a couple of more cases further south. Of course, I would worry more about flooding/hurricanes in Houston.

I don\'t think Houston is that good for retirement anyway given the heat and humidity.

Interesting enough that we did not have hurricane last year. I'm more worry about flash flooding in certain areas and streets after heavy rain. Besides that, I really enjoy living in Houston.
However as for retirement, I think Hong Kong is the best place to be retired.

Great public transportation, well govt senior care, free and easy access to healthcare, low cost of helper (if needed).

香港係好, 但老公想老時有個花園種植物,過另一种生活,所以才考慮到美國退休而已,況且佢家人都係美國,所以才有此打算

So true for retiring in HK...at least you don't have to drive to buy "bread" for breakfast. My mom has also thought about relocating back to HK for retirement. The only problem is housing.
Houston is a bit too hot and too humid. Overall, it is ok.

My parents refuse to retire in Houston, so they are in HK, which I think probably be more suitable for them. Relatives and friends, walking distance to grab a newspaper and have any meals, restaurants and convenience stores in every corner, no stairs but elevators in the building.
Like you said, having to drive just to get a bread is a hassle for old ppl, and that's IF they know how to drive.

唔係喎，我契媽契爺住Houston，佢地日日有車去接佢地去老人中心，有早餐午餐供應，有時食唔晒打包返去俾D孫食。好似仲會安排老人去買嘢，定時有車去超市或商場，到時間就集合送返去老人中心，再有車送番屋企。以前佢地都好恨返香港返大陸，而家反而話喺呢度養老算啦，反正返到去都冇地方住，而且習慣咗再返香港覺得好多人好逼。
