    Best Suburb

    in Houston Real Estate

    Posted

    Welcome to the forum and to Houston

    Nice spot to work there, If you can avoid the traffic with flexible hours or a reverse commute. It would help us suggest an area if we had a rough idea of your budget. Thanks and good luck

    Again, most of my knowledge of the housing market comes from my browsing of the Houston Chronicle real estate listings - and I was looking at homes in the $150k range - which seem to be in the 2200 - 2500 sq/ft area. Back home, in the burbs of Detroit - $150k gets you around 1500 sq/ft (which doesn't include the basement - but most of the homes I looked at in Houston don't have basements).

    My company will provide me a realtor to assist in house hunting - I'm just hoping to get some good info from those of you who already live here.

    Much appreciation to you all.

    Also - was wondering about property taxes and home/auto insurance costs. I currently have about a 1000 sq/ft home, and my home owners insurance is around $750 and I pay close to $3000 in taxes (I live in a very small community). Also - for auto insurance on a Chrysler Mini Van and a small Saturn Ion - I pay about $2100 per year in auto insurance.

    Again - your kindness is already appreciated.

    There are plenty of places throughout the greater Houston area that would very easily fit your needs. Do you know where you'll be working?

    It's on a street called Yorktown. And if I quote the general geographics of Houston correctly.....that street is near the west side of the inner loop.

    I was on the Houston Chronicle website looking at homes and school districts in the North/Montgomery, Northwest, West/Katy, and SW/Fort Bend areas (that's how the Chron has them laid out).

    Hi - my company might be relocating me to Houston - and I was doing searches for "best suburb" near Houston - and came across this forum.

    I'm from the suburbs of Detroit, MI - and I have a wife and a 2 year old son. I'm looking for a great suburban community, with nice amenities, reasonable housing, safe areas, and great schools.

    Any tips would be much appreciated. From some internet searching - northern Houston suburbs seem nice. But I have no clue.

    Thx

    Mike
