West and North Houston Suburbs

Hello,  

I just received a promotion and am going to be moving from Colorado to Houston in the next month. My job will be in the energy corridor and I'm interested in people's opinions of the suburbs around there. Our goal is to find a SFR to live in for a few years and then rent afterwards we are looking in the 300 and below range. The neighborhoods I have been considering are Katy, Cypress, and Sugarland. With that budget is there any of those neighborgoods that would be a better fit? Also what sort of pitfalls are there in Houston? I have heard don't buy in a flood plain or from KB homes. Thanks in advance for any insights.

Scott

Hi Scott,

Welcome to Houston.  Both Katy and Sugarland are great choices.  Katy have great shools and low taxes.  Sugarland also had great schools however it is very competitive due to high concentration of asians in the area. I guess you have to factor your commute time also.
