West/Central/downtown houston is crazy expensive new construction appealing to out of town yuppies and hipsters.

Just like every other town in the USA, except better.
We have more guns and they are legal.
We can legally drive faster.
We have more and better variety of foods to eat.
We have better looking women.

I agree , Houston is by far more affordable than most major cities .
Our food , social, and business scene is best by far compared to other cities in the south.
Lots of money down here due to oil and gas and energy companies.
I've never had a hard time making money in houston.

Angleton texas! 35 min to the south loop. No city taxes in the county. Plenty of land to build, cost per acre is much better then Houston. Also have MSR Houston just a few mins drive away

Angleton is the Butthole of Brazoria County. You can keep it.

I am looking at Katy/Cypress areas.

not sure if I will buy right away I will try it for a year if I don't end up liking it. I will move again 90% chance it will be back to California. We will see but I definitely plan on hitting MSR up at least 2 times a month.

Thank you for the spread map and the advice keep them coming.

Here's an update of the beast.

I'm pretty sure you will like Houston, no shortage of things to do.

Well, really I think anywhere near the Houston-ish area is the best place on the planet!

The guy is coming from California. Anything is an improvement.

I would say to aim for sugarland, katy, woodlands, Fairfield, or spring. I think you could get a house that would suit you for around 200-300k. You can get a good feel for how the area is just from google maps street view.

I moved to Houston from Seattle and I love it here.

You are going to move your family some 1800 miles with a 90% chance of moving back home?

ps. car needs more aero.

I live in the Katy area, I've been looking for RX folks since I moved here in April.

Anyone local want to have a mini meet and greet sometime I'd be down.
