Hey! I’m from KY and looking for a place to start a life. Can anyone tell me about Baytown? It looks affordable but crime is high? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Baytown is in the cancer corridor- right next to all the refineries and chemical plants. Do not go there.

Its not that bad. I lived there for a year and I really loved it.

Spring Branch, near Energy Corridor on the west side are good. Katy/Fort Bend/Sugarland further out west and southwest. Woodlands/Spring/Tomball/Cypress up north and northwest. Clearlake/Webster/Friendswood/Pearland down south. Downtown, Midtown, EaDo, or Heights if you want to be in the city proper. Garden Oaks, Candlelight, Bellaire, Hedwig, Memorial for something a bit bigger than the Heights and almost as close to the city proper.

I’ve lived in Baytown. I didn’t like it, but that’s a personal thing. If you pick one of the further suburbs (Woodlands, Katy, Baytown, Clearlake), you will be unlikely to actually do much in town. Most people who settle in those areas only come into Houston proper because of work.

The Houston metro area is almost 60 miles north and south and about the same east and west. It’s really spread out.
