Moving to Houston, TX?
As the fourth largest city in the US, Houston has unlimited opportunities for residents. Houston is located in southern Texas, and is a great place to call home. Let’s look at some of the highlights that moving to Houston will present to you.
- Geography. Houston’s metro area covers a great area, and includes everything from the cityscape, to lake life at Lake Conroe, to coastal areas in the Galveston area. With a short drive, you can escape the city and enjoy whatever geography you like.
- Weather. Houston has mild winters and warm summers. In the winter, average temperatures are in the 60s. There is very little measureable snowfall. Summers can get warm, with temps climbing above 90 degrees. However, being on the coast, you can enjoy coastal breezes. Along with those breezes, sometimes the area is prone to hurricanes, so brush up on your hurricane safety after moving to Houston.
- Culture. The “Bayou City” is chock full of entertainment, cultural, and recreational fun! If you enjoy the arts, the Theater District is a large area downtown full of performing arts venues where you can enjoy shows year-round. If you are a rodeo fan, Houston is home to the largest livestock show and rodeo in the world! Enjoy the great outdoors? You can participate in activities in one of the 337 parks around town.
- Sports. Sports fans will LOVE living in Houston! Houston is home to the Astros (MLB), Texans (NFL), and Rockets (NBA). You can also see games from the Dynamo (soccer) and the Aeros (hockey). Houston also has semi-pro and amateur tennis, women’s football, indoor football and more! Not to mention all the collegiate sports events you can watch.
- Education. If you are moving to Houston, TX with children, they will get a quality education at one of the area schools. There are 17 school districts with the Houston Independent School District being the largest with 112 campuses and 40,000 students. There are also 300 private schools to choose from. If you are seeking higher education, there are many colleges and universities to study at, with the largest being the University of Houston.
- NASA. “Houston, we have a problem.” If you are a space junkie, you will love living in town with the Johnson Space Center (home of Mission Control!).

When scheduling my drop off of my empty relocube, I wanted to schedule a pick up the same day. When reserving the woman made that seem like it was perfectly fine. When the relocube arrived (at 9am), I attempted to schedule the pick-up that afternoon telling them, I would be done packing it in 1 hour. They could not confirm that they would pick it up that day. This upset me as I would not have left all my belongings on the STREET in Houston, TX if I knew it wouldn’t be picked up that night. Eventually, I was able to get someone to say they will, but the cube did not get picked up until 7:30 and I was actually working with the police department to get someone to guard the cube if it was not picked up. It would be nice if you can schedule the pick up rather than just calling when you are done and seeing what they can do
