Are in that any areas within Houston to avoid and any areas to aim?
Answers:
Bellaire's Chinatown area is not that risk-free of a place to live. Try the City of Bellaire, Sugarland, or Fort Bend County areas around Highway 6. There is also the Richmond/Rosenberg areas which are not too far away. Avoid Alief, South Houston, Southeast Houston areas.
I'm going to have to place my usual pitch for Memorial. Rents are not outrageous and crime is low.
Avoid close to the plague: Anything southwest along 59. Avoid Alief (nice 20 years ago, but gang turf wars other erupt). Avoid most of Westheimer except some of the newer apartment properties. Avoid Westchase.
South Houston/South east.
Forget the area around China town,fundamentally illegals live there and alot of stony crime.If you want Bellaire thats inside the loop where you want to be.The other side is slum apartments.Avoid Sharpstown as powerfully,high crime and slummy.
Areas to avoid:
59S/Beltway 8/Bissonnet area
Sharpstown nouns
Areas to seek:
Richmond/Beltway 8 nouns (5 min out)
Galleria area (10 min out)
Sugar Land nouns (15 min out)
Pearland area (20 min out)
Katy nouns (25 min out)
By all ability avoid corporate, club creek.. those are streets by china town. I grew up in Alief, (bellaire/kirkwood, Cook etc) and adjectives the apartments in the nouns are super ghetto. There are plenty of nice apartments on westhimer and the beltway 8.
After Katrina, Chinatown have become a dangerous place to live. Sugarland is significant, fairly close and offer a variety of polite schools and places to live. Bellaire and Memorial are closer next to good school but pretty pricey and not so many houses on the marketplace. It might be hard to find one for lower than $500,000.
Do not live in Sharpstown or around Chinatown. Katy is farther out and is also booming beside good school and nice subdivisions. So, Katy, Sugarland and even, Meyerland (an older neighborhood i.e. kind of sluggish and low key) are my three suggestions to start.
