Houston Texas holds the #2 spot on Forbes list of “Best Cities for Young Adults”. Three other Texas cities also made it into the top 10 including Austin #1, Dallas #6, and San Antonio #9.
Forbes compiled their Best Cities list by defining young adults as those ages 20 to 29 and then narrowed their search to the 40 “coolest” Metropolitan Statiscal Areas. Forbes then compared the five data points of unemployment, average salaries, cost of living, social scene, and median age to determine a city’s ranking. After all the calculations were done, Houston captured the #2 spot.
Houston earned:
Coolness rank: 22
Nightlife rank: 26
Median age rank: 3
Salary rank: 3
Unemployment rank: 13
Cost-of-living rank: 21
According to Forbes, the criteria for a great city for young adults include“young, trendy social scene, decent entry-level career opportunitiese and a quality of life that consists of more than store-bought ramen noodles”.

From the beginning she was extremely up front and honest about exactly what we would need to do to get our house sold. We had an incredibly tight timeline, that she explained would be difficult to make - but she helped us make it happen and our house sold in 2 days! She had recommendations for all our home repair needs and they were all professional and fairly priced. She worked hard to really sell our offer for our new home - she was able to pull off the tight timeline, securing a rent back from our old house so we had time to move out, and a contingency for our new home. Definitely exceeded our expectations. She was so helpful along the way - as first time home sellers we really relied on her and we feel lucky to have worked with her! You will not regret working with Jill! read less
