I'll put it this way, I am from DFW and you could double my salary and I still wouldn't move back to Houston after 4 years there.

You seem to be lost. The weak Dallas ***** forum is one up.
Lots of nice development when you head west on 99 from I45. Very good schools in that area too. Stepdaughter goes to Wildewood.
your boyfriend left you for someone who wasn't as prissy, didn't he?big ben said:

You can do a lot with $40K here.
I have a lot of friends moving from Eagle Springs and Fall Creek up to Kingwood.
The schools are better up here (Kingwood or Park vs SummerCreek is an easy decision) plus many seem to get involved in activities like church, kids leagues and all those are better in KW than Humble/Atasca. So they develop friends and end up driving up to KW all the time anyway.
Plus property taxes are significantly cheaper in Kingwood than the newer neighborhoods.

Fannin and Pierce street, daily walks to Lone Star.

Is Katy considered snobby now?
I know some old housewives out there who act like Kingsland is River Oaks Blvd.

beltway and hardy and beltway and 45N are both the hood. the drive from spring or woodlands would probably be worth it. unless you want to live south of 610 and drive up. anything between 610 and beltway 8 on 45 is sketch also.
Oak Forest, Garden Oaks, and Shepherd Park Plaza call bull*****

Which refinery do you live next to?

Thanks for the tips. Checking them out slowly. This is helping us to see what's out there to see if it's worth pursuing further.
Budget is ideally less than 400k. Our ideal home at this point is a 1 story, 2500-2800 sq feet w/ a 3 car garage. No real preferences outside of that.
There are two houses that meet all of your criteria except for the three-car garage for sale on my street, with a third coming soon. All built since 2012. In Creekside in The Woodlands, which is south of Woodlands Pkwy, between Kuykendahl and Gosling. It's a quick trip to 99/45. Neighborhood pool, waking trails, great schools (Tomball ISD), etc.
This is a great area. I used to live in Augusta Pines just south of Creekside.TXTransplant said:OldArmy07 said:

I have a house in Oak Forest I will sell you.
Avoid crappy Klein ISD at almost all costs. Conroe ISD is ok depending on school. Spring and Aldine. Good luck and happy living in your car cussing traffic.
crappy klein isd? and then you recommend spring and aldine?TxAggieBand85 said:

Yeah, methinks he doesn't know what he's talking about.
Maybe he's into violence, drugs, and chitty schools.
I used to work in that exact area (like a ton of other people). All my coworkers lived in Spring, The Woodlands, or Kingwood. The younger guys without families lived inside the loop in townhouses, but moved to one of the above when they started familes.
The commute from Kingwood is the easiest because 59 to the beltway traffic is light, but Kingwood is the most boring IMO.
If I didn't mention a place, that's my polite way of saying avoid it.

Any more Huntwick/Champion Forest/Memorial NW opinions?

Except for all the million dollar homes in 77018...

Too funny! We lived in the house directly behind you on Verdant Way when I was in high school. I like what you did with this house. Good luck with the sale!!
So do we.94chem said:No, but we have Whataburger and Culvers.Quote:
Kingwood has a Trader Joes and Whole Foods?
And that's with the Eagle Springians doing 70 through Summerwood.chiken said:
Avoid Eagle Springs. It takes 15 minutes just to get from the neighborhood to 59 or BW8
I love it when people beetch about Houston's lack of zoning. It really shows how little they know about the area. Just because we have no zoning, doesn't mean you can throw up anything you want. You still have to get permits and approval. Unfortunately you can't build a tit-teria next to little snowflake Breighlian's elementary school.schmendeler said:big ben said:
