Wonder if that's really true? Hear that about a lot of burbs.

no, it isn't true. I mean, sure, some dude bangs his neighbor's wife, but it isn't some big group or anything.

I guess the question is, what suburb on the west side should one target then? My office is in Westchase (Westheimer & Beltway 8) so Sugarland is currently at the top of our list. We are also considering Pearland (westside), east area of Katy, Cy-Fair / Cypress, and even Meyerland... Just from our initial scouting, Sugarland has the best feel to it to us at least.

Thanks,
Brian

Take the West side of Pearland off your list. I built a home in Shadow Creek Ranch in 2008 and moved in 2018. We really liked it at first and absolutely loved our home, but the city grew extremely fast over that time period and city planners didn't do much to the infrastructure. Traffic became a nightmare, schools are overcrowded. Plus, smells from the landfill in that area were pretty much a regular occurance.

We now live in the Meyerland area and love it. We are in a good area surrounded by a lot of people we know, so it has a real neighborhood feel to it. I feel perfectly safe having my kids walking to/from school and it's pretty close to TMC, Downtown, Galleria. However, to get to Westchase from there, you'll have to cross some pretty sketchy areas. You'll get much more bang for your buck in the subrbs.

Have we gotten a budget yet? That really would help narrow the area

West memorial area? Around stratford?

This is the answer.

West of beltway 8, east of hwy6 north of memorial dr south of I-10

Just moved here (Wilchester) and if it's in your budget you won't regret it. Tough to get in though, most houses sold off market (including the one we bought.)

random bump but this was funny to see here 4 years later. Shane is now a neighbor and an incredibly good dude. I shared some bbq and bourbon with him yesterday! HA!

Anybody can provide an update on the Greatwood or Sugar Land area? We have 2 littles and looking at Greatwood, Sweet water, Sienna.

Greatwood is dealing with 59 construction right now. Major pain in the arse. Nice neighborhood though.

Any thoughts/opinions on New Territory??

May or may not apply or matter to you... GW is zoned to LCISD but Sweetwater and Sienna are Fort Bend ISD. FBISD is planning to close like 8 or 9 elementary schools after this year. Just something to keep in mind.

Sienna elementary schools are good. We're happy with the teachers and students in the classes. There are two high schools now zoned to Sienna with, I believe, 6 elementary schools.
