Current Resident: I like Montgomery County for the most part. Taxes are cheaper here than other counties. The police respond to emergencies in a timely manner and non-emergencies as well, though, of course, not so much in a "timely" manner as emergencies. Police officers will actually stop to help someone stopped on the side of the road with car problems. Not all are good 'ole boys, but not all are corrupt either. There are excellent places to dine whether you're one looking for a cheap or a five-star dinner. You can boat on Lake Conroe, ride jet skis or just swim at the park. There are quite a few antique shops in Conroe, Montgomery (the city), other little towns that make up Montgomery County. The people are very welcoming and Lone Star Cowboy Church in Montgomery is the best church to attend, hands down, especially if you are a rodeo fanatic! Look 'em up on lonestar.tv. You can watch them live or watch pre-recorded sermons. This county has a country feel and is comprised of southern hospitality.... Read 152 reviews

Current Resident: Travis County lies in the heart of Texas and encompasses different city municipalities like Austin, Lakeway, Beecave, manor, and Pflugerville. The social dynamic is different than the rest of Texas as Austin enjoys a unique eclectic vibe and hosts a number of musicians. Enough Musicians to be known as the ground zero of music in the world. People from around the world and the U.S. visit Austin to attend numerous events like ACL music festival. However, the county had experienced a population boom since 2014 and this requires keeping up with the infrastructure and traffic control.... Read 66 reviews

Current Resident: I moved from a very small hometown to Dallas. I love living here because there are so many nearby restaurants, there are so many family activities, new places for adventures. Beautiful roof top restaurants. These restaurants and downtown have been my favorite. There are homeless people around that make it a little uncomfortable and make you feel un secure.

Current Resident: Orange, Texas is a place that has the luxury of being a border town. With that, the unique culture of Louisiana plays a major role in the town’s very own. While Louisiana’s influence may be quite apparent, it still maintains the overtones of your classic Texas town filled with comforting hospitality and contagious pride. As many people know, Texas is a state that loves its football, and Orange is no different. In fact, Orange has the highest winning percentage in Texas Highschool Football history, and we have the jewelry and accolades to show for it. Overall, Orange has the same beauty that exudes from the rest of the large state, and I have the ultimate satisfaction of calling this sweet country town home.... Read 18 reviews

There is a very country lifestyle here as there are many farms. There is so much support of the local school and its teams. The only thing I wish we had more of is local restaurants.

Current Resident: There's actually lots to do in such a rural country. Water park, skating rink, seasonal amusement park, largest flea market ever, lots of great locally owned restaurants just to start. Everyone is pretty friendly, but I'm also a white female so I'm not sure how hostile it can be for those outside of cultural 'norms'. It's an affordable area and makes a great commute to both Tyler and Dallas since it's all right off the interstate. Our schools in Van ISD are excellent but I'm not so sure about surrounding districts.... Read 2 reviews

Current Resident: We have lived in Kaufman County directly between the City of Terrell and City of Kaufman for over 20 years. Crime in our area is extremely low. It used to be fairly rural, quiet, and both towns small in size. Approx. three years ago a new Buccees was built and a mass of retail and restaurants followed suite in Terrelll (about 8 miles from us). There is also now a giant movie theatre combo bowling alley & arcade. It is very nice. There are mass apartment complexes going up as well as large auto dealerships. A new neighborhood is being built about 5 miles from our neighborhood. I do love the county area as it has always been a very pleasant country setting. However, the cities are growing by leaps and bounds and encroaching upon us. Kaufman School district was always our choice over the Terrell district. We loved raising our kids out here. There are many churches in both cities. We are only 40 minutes from Dallas and 30 from First Monday Trade Days at Canton (a huge draw).... Read 18 reviews
