Been looking at different areas and we are really struggling with the Spring Valley / Hilshire Village vs. Memorial (West of Gessner) - Below is the breakdown, but looking for anyone's thoughts that know the areas well:
1. Spring Valley / Hilshire Village
Pro:
- Close to 610 / Galleria (I work downtown)
- Lots larger (more for your money)
Con:
- Elementary and Middle School not as desirable (but still not "bad")
- Possibly less appreciation rate / investment down the road? Stigma that I-10 North is not as good as I-10 South?
2. Memorial (West of Gessner and Possibly West of Beltway)
Pro:
- Schools (Frostwood Elementary and Memorial Middle Very Desirable)
- Possibly greater appreciation rate?
- Close to City Center (we aren't huge shoppers btw).
Cons:
- Area has had some issue with flooding (need to be careful here)
- Further commute and heard traffic starts stacking up around Gessner
- Lots smaller (less for the money today).
This is just what I can think of but open to hear others opinions as we want to get this purchase right.
