Leave it to the darn business owner. If you don't want to go to a smokey bar, go to a bar where the owner has decided it is going to be non smoking, just like you go to the restaraunt where the owner has decided to sell salads instead of french fries.

Last I checked most bars made money selling cigarettes. Part of the revenue stream is going to be hurt here.

I am a non smoker so this doesn't really affect me, but I will be damned the day someone tells me I can't fart in the bathroom because the guy in the next stall is going to complain he can't breathe.

Thanks for all of the info. We just won a bid on a house in bear creek village. If all goes well should be moved in sometime in Nov.

We are really excited, as we have really fallen for this area.

Hi Reddog,

Since we just put an offer on a home in the area I would highly recommend that you go to the area at 7:00 a.m. on any given morning and attempt to get to work by 8:00 a.m. Regardless of where you work, the experience will speak for itself !

I tried that last week. I currently live at Westheimer and Kirkwood, and on the way to Bear Creek, I got stuck behind a broken down vehicle, so it actually took me longer to get to there than once I left for work. I work at Westheimer and 8, so I am really spoiled where I live now.

I am still in awe about the amount of people that spend time outside, I think it is amazing, and just put an offer on a home on Friday, and it was accepted today!

Thanks for the reply

Thanks for the reply. I just drove through there last night to check out the neighborhood, and it blew my mind how many families were outside playing, jogging, or talking to neighbors.

I am curious what everyone thinks of this area. I am a first time home buyer who has lived in Houston for quite some time, but am not familiar with Bear Creek at all. I have lived in Sugar Land and really enjoyed it. I am now in an apartment in Westchase and like the area a lot.

I have a newborn and a better half to worry about, so crime, schools, emergency access is a concern. I was looking in Katy, but I think it is just too far away from everything. I am looking to spend 100K-120K and have seen some pretty decent homes online.

One thing that concerns me, is how many homes are for sale in Glencarin, Bear Creek, and surrounding areas. Should I worry about this? How does everyone feel about this area?

Let me add, I want to live in the home for 5-7 years, and want to make a sound investment opposed to just getting in and out of a house. I plan on keeping this as a rental after moving out.

Thanks for any help!
