Moving from Los Angeles to Houston
Your guide to escaping traffic & state income tax and thriving in the Space City.
Why Los Angeles Residents are Choosing Houston
LA residents are moving to Houston to escape high state taxes and find a city where homeownership is actually attainable for the middle class. The cultural diversity of Houston makes it an easy transition for Angelenos.
The Lifestyle Shift
"Trade the 405 for Houston's extensive tollway system and use your tax savings to enjoy the nation's most diverse food scene."
The Real Estate Reality
In Los Angeles, your budget of $1M gets you a standard home. In Houston, that same budget secures a luxury estate in a top-rated district.

Relocation Fact Check
The "Texas Tax Savings" for Los Angeles residents is often the #1 driver for relocation. By eliminating the 1-13.3% income tax, a professional earning $150,000 per year keeps an additional $1,500 annually. This effectively pays for a luxury mortgage in Houston suburbs like Montrose or Katy.
