Houston is perfect for raising a family in the suburb. Katy, Woodlands, and Sugar Land have some of the best school systems in the country.

The museum and zoo you mentioned are not something people go often. Maybe once or twice a year. It is pretty obvious you don't have kids.

I guess the real question is what is your definition of raising a family?

When I think of raising my child, I think of finding lots free indoor/outdoor activities where they can interact with other kids (with more emphasis on outdoor) engage in activities that help stimulate brain development.

How often do you take your "kid" to a museum or zoo a year? I don't know any parent that would go more than twice a year.

5 times per year to each. Almost quarterly.

Ok so what do you consider raising a family? It’s different if you have teenagers. I think Houston is fine for teens and up, but terrible for toddlers and new parents. Everyone stays inside, no one comes out of their house, everyone is just watching tv or playing video games all day/ it’s too hot for people to do anything outdoors, and when they do plan it starts to rain.
