About Houston, TX or Fort Worth

Houston, TX or Fort Worth?
My fiance and I are planning to move out of New York State once we get married. We are planning to relocate to Texas. We are considering Houston, TX or Fort Worth, TX. I know the cost of living is much cheaper in Texas than in New York and it is one of the reasons why we want to move there. We are looking for a city with a good school district because we want to have children one day, great housing market, low crime, but a little bit of city life as well. We are from NYC so we can't totally be stuck in the country but we would live to live in a suburban area with a little night life activity not too far away.

The Woodlands was recommended to you, and I do think The Woodlands is a very nice community, but it's 32 miles from Houston so that may be a bit far away from city life. Houston would not be a place I'd care to live. The average year round humidity is 85-90% in the mornings and 65-70% in the afternoons, and although Houston is far enough away from the Gulf that it doesn't get a direct hit by hurricanes, the aftermath does a lot of damage when there is one. When Hurricane Dolly hit in 2008 our friends who live 40 miles north of Houston had their home flood, their roof damaged and were without power for 3 weeks. My opinion is that Ft Worth would be a better choice. A nice, family oriented suburb with great schools and a crime rate that's 1/4 the national average is the suburb of Keller, which is 17 miles from Ft Worth. Dallas is only 30 miles from Ft Worth so you'd have the benefit of being near 2 cities.
