Congrats on the job!!

Don't know much about longview, but I think that whole place is dump.

Really, as long as you stay away from South Longview (anything south of Hwy 80) and old Pine Tree, you should be fine. Depending on your price range, there are a lot of nice neighborhoods off of Hawkins Pkwy. There are also 2 nice apartment complexes; one is on the corner of Bill Owens and H.G. Moseley and the other is the Longfellow Arms.

What Mustang said. Also, and shockingly I might add, there have been some lofts developed in downtown so you might want to check those out.

I know nothing about them other than they are brand new.

If you have money for a house there are dozens of nice neighborhoods to choose from. It's actually amazing at the number of high-end homes in Longview.

I played soccer so I wouldnt mind joining a men's team or something like that.

Except for me, everyone on here is a fat, chicken wing eating, toilet breaking slob.

So no soccer, but beering drinking is always a possibility.

I believe there the Gregg County chapter of Aggie Alumni is based in White Oak which is a suburb of Longview. May want to check that out.

Other than that I don't know of any groups other than something like Rotary.

We've had 20-30 engineering co-ops at the place I work in Longview and I think 95% of them stayed at the Summer Brook apartments on Bill Owens Pkwy, just south of loop 281. If you want to rent but don't want an apartment, then look for a townhouse in Town Lake Village. It's behind the Butcher Shop on McCann Road.

I just signed at summer green apts. I think its in a pretty good area, kinda close to the high school which I didnt realize, but I only got a 6 month lease so if I dont like it I can always go elsewhere. I think all the "summer... apartments" are owned by the same company so hopefully it is run well.

I was wondering why the hell I posted on the East Texas board.

live in marshall

North side. 259 North of the loop, east or west side. That's where all of the growth is right now in Longview.

PM me if you need anything. I live in Hallsville. It's a good place to raise a family. White Oak and Spring Hill are great places also.
