If you’re moving to Houston don’t choose downtown or midtown
I would not live in downtown or midtown. It has a heavier vibe to live in, it feels like a concrete jungle and the level of crime is higher. I wouldn’t walk alone at night. These places are great to visit for a night or day out, that’s it.
