I live in NY and will be moving to Texas. What area is best Houston, Dallas, or San Antonio?

Question

I live on Long Island in Suffolk County, NY. I will be moving to Texas for a Teaching job. I have the choice of three areas Houston, Dallas, or San Antonio and am unsure which area to choose. All three are much cheaper to live then where I am now. I would like the area that offers the most like safety, attractions, shopping, dinning, & events. Some place fun and exciting to start a career and a family.

Answer 1

my friend moved from Texas to NY and back to Austin, Tx.

I think you'd like it best in Austin.

Houston, ew. That place sucks. Austin has everything. and you can dress nice, Cause I know NY people are fashionable. Houston, most of it is nasty. Dallas - half nasty half people who think their sh*T doesn't stink.

I say Austin.

it's nicest. Beautiful area. Nice lakes.. Downtown is great.

nice places to shop. good jobs. lots of schools for you to work at.

Answer 2

I live in Gainesville, TX. My husband and I went to Galveston for the wk end. It is beautiful down there, people are friendly it was a 45 min drive from Houston to Galveston. Houston it self is nice and clean. Lots to do there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houston,_Te...

San Antonio is big but floods a lot. The river walk is beautiful and your about 2 and a half hours away from Corpus Christi.

Dallas is alright I live 70 miles NW. Don't go down there to often just to much traffic.

Maybe one of these links may help you decide. Just to let you know summers in TX's usually last through Sep- Oct and they are hot. So come prepared. Good luck.

Answer 3

I'm sixteen now, but I was born and lived in San Antonio until I was ten.

It was okay. And I've lived in the Dallas area since then, and I really like it here.

There is a lot of opportunity and different things too do for fun.

Answer 4

Believe me, you want San Antonio! Very close to Austin, and only a few hours from Houston.  Best place for a family.

Answer 5

San Antonio is the best

Answer 6

Houston . . . just voted best city to live in in United States.
