I've lived in Houston my whole life, aside from some time in CS and Huntsville. My wife and I have lived in Spring Branch since 2015 and with a new baby have outgrown our house. We're looking at moving to Katy. We like Cinco Ranch and Kelliwood but I know very little about the specific area aside from it being generally nice and parts of it flooded. We're putting an offer on a house today. What do I need to know about the area?
If was moving to further out I'd opt for an MPC that is new and has crazy amenities and brand new top rated schools personally. Some location bias from me prob as I haven't lived outside of Hwy 6 going west before.
But I've had friends move out to Katy and the idea of "well we're close enough to come in and see some friends occasionally" doesn't seem to hold up in the long run. You get plugged into little league, church, school, and life in general etc. and plant your flag ultimately from what I've seen from others in your situation that made the move. Unless grand parents are in spring branch or close then you obviously will.
All that to say I'd do Bridgelands, Sunterra, Cane Island, or look to be first into the new Johnson MPC outside 99 south of 290 which I'm blanking on name.
Don't know you or your wife's commute/work location so that to me is a huge factor as it's everyday and effects quality of life more than most factor in imho due to time with kids after work and accessibility.
Anyways. Sorry for the rant. Just my two cents. Have 2 friends/clients in my industry that went to Houston Christian and grew up near BW8/10ish area and both absolutely love it. We're in CRE and they just knock out a bunch of calls on the way home and if ET call do those on the way in.
