Hidden Oaks
7808 Dixie Drive
Houston TX 77087-4614
Hidden Oaks is a large plantation style home set on 1-1/2 acres in the city of Houston, built in 1927 by Samuel Ezekiel and Bessie Allen. Samuel was the great-grandson of Ezekiel Thomas who came to Texas from South Carolina in 1822. Ezekiel was a member of the "Old Three Hundred", the first 300 families to receive title to property in Texas from Stephan F. Austin. These families were viewed as an elite. Allen's parents, Samuel Ezekiel Allen and Rosa Christie Lum, were among the most prominent Texas ranchers in the early 1900's. Their cattle ranch expanded to a 13,000 acre operation. Our property was part of that ranch. Hidden Oaks offers you the opportunity to experience the old southern atmosphere within a modern bustling city.

Residents of San Antonio, TX, inform me please!?
Holla Holl
I've decided on moving to Texas next year! I'm willing to consider anywhere within 20 miles of Downtown SA. I think SA has a lot of its own recreational and cultural amenities as any large city should, and it's oh so close to Austin.
Fort Worth is the other Texas city I'm considering. I can't afford Austin or Dallas. And, long story short, circumstances won't permit me to consider Houston.
How much does it cost to live in FW and SA? For example, how much is my apartment going to cost? Then, the water bill? Electricity? Natural gas? Water/sewer?
I've heard electricity is outrageously expensive, however there is apparently more competition in the Texas market thanks to deregulation.
Which of these cities would you recommend, and why? (Please figure in more than economics!)
I appreciate any and all help in advance!
God Bless TEXAS; I've been looking forward to this move for years!
I apologize for a couple little weird statements here, this is a copy of another question I asked.
What I should've asked is would you recommend SA, and why?
Answer
As far as apartments, it depends where you live. I pay around $500 on my home a month and I own it. It is on a low interest rate and currently valued at $180,000. I pay taxes and insurance also, so after this is all said and done I pay $800 a month. But, I have lived here awhile now. My son lives in a 2 bedroom apartment with his friend and pays $700 a month. Of course he doesn't pay water and he doesn't have to mow or take other homeowner responsibilities. Water is very reasonable about $15 a month, but you also have sewage and garbage fees. If you live in an apartment, most don't make you pay water. Electricity depends on you. If you keep it set around 78 degrees, you are not going to have really high bills, but for every degree less in summer it is about 7% more per month. In the winter, we rarely use heat, so the bills are very low.
I have said it before anything North of 1604 is considered the best real estate and the lowest crime rate. From 1604 to 410, it depends on your area. Anything inside the loop to 410 is iffy unless you are in the Alamo Heights or Castle Hills areas.
It is a beautiful , historic city with lovely people who are very friendly everywhere you go. Good luck on your search and be safe with your move.
