I lived in Houston for a short while and although there was always something to do, the communte was horrible. Everything is so spread out. You will definitely need a car.
Where you want to live:I like the 249/1960 area in the NW part of town as well as the Sugar Land area in the SW. The medical center is also cool. There is a rail that will take you from the medical center into downtown. Also, anything near the Galleria on Westheimer, only there is almost always traffic in that area. The lofts/apartments near the Theatre District are also nice.
Culture/Arts: Houston Museum of Natural Science, The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, The Children’s Museum of Houston, Holocaust Museum Houston, Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, The Menil Collection, Houston Zoo, The Rothko Chapel, John P. McGovern Museum of Health & Medical Science.
The Houston Ballet, Houston Grand Opera, and the Houston Symphony. The Alley Theatre, which received a Tony Award for Best Regional Theatre, the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, and Theatre Under the Stars.
There are many venues which attract lots of big-name acts from Bruce Springsteen to the Blue Man Group.
Also, Houston is considered one of the nation's culinary capitals, with hundreds of varied restaurants representing a wide array of ethnic cuisines.
Shopping: Lots of shopping at the Galleria, Katy Mills, Woodlands mall, Willowbrook mall, Rice Village Shopping Center.
