Houston, Texas

I've been in Houston, Texas for the past 4 days....a very different world from Los Angeles. My partner owns some real estate here and stays on top of the Houston real estate market, very different and most encouraging if you live and work here. We looked at many homes over this trip and the price per sqaure foot, the lot sizes and the architecture are really quite incredible. The area we looked at is call The Heights, it is a historic neighborhood with some homes dating before the turn of the century, these homes have soul and character, some are large sitting on 1.5 to 3 lots. huge porches, gable roofs, raised foundations, gas lights. There is a feeling of history and days gone by. The Heights is located 10 minutes out of the busseling downtown area and a wonderful repose after a hard days work. I am not sure I could live here, especially after experiencing 4 days of heat and humidity but I can tell it's a nice way of life, you can really buy a nice home for $350,000.00 and I promise you, it feels like a real home. Back to Los Angeles tonight.
