Currently, my spouse and I live in Dallas. I am interviewing for a position at EY based out of Houston. It will be a great opportunity for me but also require us to move to Houston. We both are having hard time coming out up with Pros of living in Houston (all we can think about are cons of moving away from Dallas). I am looking for insights from those who currently either live in Houston or moved from Dallas to Houston!

Lived in Dallas, currently in Houston. Prefer Houston. Food is better, people are better.

Let me know if you’re looking for a place to rent!

I live in Dallas because my spouse prefers it but I like Houston more. While both metro areas are incredibly diverse, the international food scene (especially Asian food) feels much more accessible in the city of Houston vs Dallas. In Dallas, you have to go all the way to the suburbs for most Asian options and living downtown, there’s not even a decent Indian restaurant to order from. This is not the case in Houston. Another minor thing but Houston has way more palm trees which I prefer.

Looks like Houston stands out in the food scene.

Moved from Houston to Dallas and agree with both comments

Houston is much more diverse than Dallas and has some of the best food in Texas. It’s ~very~ spread out, but that also means there are lots of mini cultural pockets to explore. If you’re young, looking to be in the middle of it all, and have a bit of money to spend, then I’d try to find places in the loop (around and within hwy 610), Rice village, Washington heights, & river oaks (if money is no object)
