Pickwithaustin, were on the same wave length, if this becomes a reality, I would rent for at least 24 months, before I would buy a home. The job is with an employer that is located within the Woodlands. I have no problem with commuting to work, but I would want to live within 45 minutes of work.

I moved to Katy and love it, the Woodlands does have some traffic and is growing leaps and bounds. just stay north of the Woodlands or in the Woodlands if you decide there. Come and visit and drive around.. Meet up with H- Town Camaro's...

I will agree with Scalded Dog when it comes to the school system wanting more money all of the time and the school supply list issue. It really is aggravating when that stuff is happening so much. I am sure there may be some better schools around the Woodlands area but who knows. He was right about the ocean and the weather as well. Not sure about the rest of what he said because it sounds to me that if he just took a short drive up towards the Tomball area, Huffman, Hockley, or Liberty, among many other areas, he would have found quite a bit of like minded folks. No offense brother, just sayin.

Thanks.

The Woodlands / Spring is perfect. Best of everything in that area and lot's of new housing going in near the Grand Parkway build. ExxonMobile just moved up there along with SouthWestern Energy. Good Choice.
