Americans are moving to Texas en masse: how much does it cost to live in the state

Many Americans are leaving “expensive” states and moving to “cheap” ones. Texas is on the second list. Most recently, Elon Musk announced his move there, and after him other US residents began to move to the state... Why many people choose Texas for life, the author said blog "The World Through Helen's Eyes" on Yandex.Zen.

“Texas America, like all of America, not counting the centers of large cities, is mostly one- or two-story. It is in such a complex of two-story houses that we rent an apartment. Apartments here are called apartments, so the whole thing is called an Apartment complex,” writes Helen.

What is in this complex

Pool. Often no visitors.

“For some reason, people living here are in no hurry to take advantage of this benefit of civilization, and I simply cannot imagine life in Texas without a pool - and in the summer I swim almost every day,” the blogger writes. — Since other residents of the complex use this opportunity quite rarely, it feels like the pool is actually my personal one. Near the pool there are sun loungers, chairs, tables and a grill. Last year, in the spring, inflatable balls and cheesecakes appeared, but after a month or two they disappeared somewhere.”

The gym with various sports equipment.

“The hall is small, but since often only my husband and I go there, there is enough space for the two of us,” says Helen.

Volleyball and basketball courts, unauthorized entry is prohibited. The territory of the sites is fenced off, so it will be difficult to get there, but not impossible.

What is included in the rental price

The total cost of renting an apartment in a similar residential complex in Texas includes a number of services:

  • once a week they mow the lawns and clean the pool;
  • if something breaks down on the territory of the complex or in the apartment, you can simply leave a request in the resident's personal account, and everything will be repaired within one or two days, or, for example, changed;
  • if insects suddenly appear in the apartment (ants or huge Texas flying cockroaches), you can also report this, and they will be destroyed within a few days;
  • For the residents of the complex, “parties” are organized with sweets and various treats.

Life in numbers

“We pay $825 a month for the rent of a one-room apartment and all the “goodies” mentioned, in addition to this another $100-140 a month for water and electricity,” writes Helen. — I have friends who live in much worse apartments (the apartment is smaller and almost without windows, there is no swimming pool, gym, fence) and pay $500-600 a month. There are also those who live in a small house (also without a pool) for $2-200. So, taking into account all the amenities, living here is relatively inexpensive.”
