25 feet above sea level sounds very safe! My apartment is 6 feet below sea level. I often cycle along the sea, and I haven't noticed a rise. Medieval maps tell a different tale: they show villages many miles into the sea. These villages became nonviable after a storm or flood and their ruins eventually washed away.
My parents moved when I was young, and not even very far, but I had to go to a different school. At times I've wondered what life would have looked like if they hadn't.
Thank you for this. I mentioned the sea level thing, but that's not exactly my primary concern - even if things stay exactly as they are, I don't much like how much I have to drive to get most things done in Houston, and I don't like how miserable summers are without air conditioning, but your and k_a_nitz's thoughts on not disrupting things too much for my girls is a good point.
