GP. Thanks bro.

Manchi neighborhoods with good quality for living ento cheppu (schools, commute, companies , low property taxes)

Woodlands etluntadi compared to Katy?

Woodlands is expensive compared to Katy.

Fewer desis in WL than katy.

WL manchi greenery untundi.. Katy not so much

Houston's super rich ($B) live in WL after river oaks area near midtown.

bigger houses in Katy for same $.

Schools best in Katy and followed by Sugarland (SGL is traditionally desi adda from 1980s and 1990s, Katy is new, most desis since 2012/2013). Cypress area lo kuda desis bane untaru, because of HP (old compaq) campus.

ivanni suburbs. houston city lo hillcroft area is full of desi restaurants, shops etc. old and cheap apt communities

next energy corridor ani west houston lo undi, between houston city and katy. akkada kuda desis community bagundi.
full of desis in Chevron, BP, Citgo, sysco, schlumberger, wipro, infy etc. chala apt communities lo desis untaru. ray miller park ani untundi, evenings desis bane veltaru, park has rabindranath tagore statue too

houston lo most important thing, safe areas lo undali, generally suburbs kakunda few pockets are good within city.

schools kosam suburbs lo unte daily commute to downtown (if you work there) 30 to 35 miles untundi. houston ISD schools overall ga not very good, but few schools are top ranked in state. vanguard schools are also there.

suburbs lo property taxes ekkuva (3 to 3.6%), older neighborhoods lo takkuva (ante 2.25 to 2.5%)

@BossIzzWell bro

depends on community. katy is very big. reservoirs bordering unna communities chala affect ayyayi, but those are all established older neighborhoods in katy. desis antha new ones lo untaru, avi pedda affect kaaledu. cinco, pine mill, churchil farms etc.

Desi community + good public schools zoend to community + safety ante Katy=Sugarland>>Cypress>>WL.

downtown ki east and south east side asalu no chance.

south lo medical center ani undi, and inka south ki pearland undi, both places lo desis bane untaru, but not very good schools

Awesome bro... my cousin is planning to move to Houston/Dallas. 

You have given very good info bro.

Atlanta GA

Amenities of top 10 metro area like concerts, NFL, soccer, tennis, cricket leagues and world's busiest airport. 

Relatively low cost of living compared to East Coast or West Coast

Huge Desi crowd

Average salary for 8+ exp people110 to 140k

4 to 5 Bed 4 Bath homes in the 400 to 600 range

Lots of Tech Jobs

Winters are very mild compared to East Coast, Midwest and Pacific North West. Summers are not so bad. No snow or occasional snow once an year in the winters.

Alpharetta, Cumming living is more like living in Hyderabad. Apartments complexes, home subdivisions are 80%+ desi 50% telugu. 100+ indian restaurants in a 15 mile radius. First day telugu movies ki usual gaa tickets dorakatam kashtam. Reminds me of HYD

Alpharetta/Johns Creek/Cumming have great public schools. Among the best in the country. My colleague's son from Alpharetta is going to Stanford for Bachelors, another friend's daughter is going to MIT.

Orlando, Florida, New Orleans, North Carolina, Nashville, Washington DC are all in driving range. If you can stretch yourself you can do driving trips all the way from New York City to Miami.

Southern girls especially from rural places like Alabama, Tennessee that live in Atlanta are the best looking girls in US. Before Atlanta I lived in Cali and Dallas. Cali has mostly average looking Chinki and Makku girls. Dallas girls were average but here in Midtown, Buckhead and college towns like Athens most of the girls are pretty to stunning. Good plus for a single guy with game.

Drawbacks

Traffic. Very very bad traffic

In the good areas of the city like Alpharetta, Cumming, Johns Creek the cost of loving is going up exponentially. You have to spend at least 600k to buy a house in these areas. 5 years ago you could get a decent home for 400k in Alpharetta

Too many desis in some work places. Not as bad as Dallas though. Dallas is the worst in that aspect.
