Conservative - meaning socially? Just throw a dart at a map and dont hit the center. You might accidentally hit all sorts of awful things like gays, museums, universities and lovely old neighborhoods.

Thank you, thats why i was asking about outside of Houston and not inner city houston. i am sure there are nice, great neighborhoods in Houston proper, like east houston, like they have in most cities-but i was interested in the suburbs and not to make it political.

It is sad that one cant ask about a niche area that fits them without those who are not in at group thinking it excludes them. I thought Houston was like the rest of the US cities with neighborhoods that had a variety of different kinds of people. Perhaps it does and most here just dont know about it.

thanks for your help though.

The suburbs of Houston are more diverse than segregated. Sugar Land may have a reputation for being politically conservative but the reality is that there are all types of political persuasions living here. The common denominator is that most people here are family-oriented and moved here for the neighborhood feel and good public schools.

If you're looking for that, then I don't think that's what you will find here. Cinco Ranch is accepting as well. I know some people who live there.



Again.. post # 20.
no one said anything about hate and just because one is republican or democrat doesnt mean they hate. It seems alot of liberals came on this post attacking christians and conservatives when this post had nothing to do with hate, but they brought it in anyway--but i didnt see your post to them about intolerance and hate. I am black and conservative, there are black neighborhoods in Houston are they filled with anti everything just because someone might be interested in living in them and asking about information about them? I am sure there are gay people in houston interested in knowing where other gay people congregate, doesnt make them hateful because they do.

so i asked about people they are likeminded as myself and where they live, nothing hateful about that and i dont know where you read that in my post. I know progressive and liberal neighborhoods in New York and Philadelphia that want their neighborhoods to reflect their beliefs-with food cooperatives, progressive shops and schools. It doesnt mean they are hateful of conservatives just because they want a progressive area anymore than conservatives are hateful to want to have neighborhoods that reflect their values.

Thank you Topaz, thats all i asked from the beginning-nothing about segregation or exclusion, every area has a mixture of people, its makes it a great place to live. Just looking for an area that was politically and socially leaning Right, just as i am sure there are areas of H town that lean left.

thanks again

You grew up in suburban Dallas? Take any suburb of Houston. It'll be a lot like where you grew up. Right down to the Chili's in front of the Wal-Mart.
No chilis or walmart in Highland park or las colinas when i was growing up or in arlington at that time.

Well, you haven't really said anything about your views so far. All I had was #20, which I did respond to. So, I don't know why you think I meant you.
I don't know of any crazy conservative suburb. I guess the more expensive the more conservative. I've also heard Friendswood/Clear Lake etc. are conservative.
