Being part of East Houston has stopped me from many opportunities. Apart from a long commute time to go to Downtown Houston, the schools in the area are horrible, and there's not much to do there.

I like the new homes. But, the crime rate has gone up. The cars in our neighborhood have been broken into 4 times in the last 30 days. We have to have the police in our neighborhood every night. It is sad that we can not go to sleep without being scared of being robbed of our hard earned belongings. It's super sad, all we can do is pray, seeing that the police and our HOA does nothing to ensure we will be okay.

Great place to live, new neighborhood with new houses. Would like to see more family friendly activities.

For the most part there is work all over so finding a good job to get your life started, isn't hard. Also the nightlife is good but if you know people then the city gets more exciting.
