Woodlands is roughly 45 to an hour away from downtown. So if you're tryin to drive thru that crap every morning I wouldn't suggest it.

Washington Ave has some pretty decent town homes. Most of them are new models and builds.

The Heights is actually the newest (from what I recall) remodeled area in the H. Three story town homes/condos. They've basically gentrified the area.

Montrose is also a good area. Its about 5-10 minutes from downtown, not as congested with traffic.

Most homes in these areas are like $250-350k. Some are higher than that but thats due to the area mostly and how new it is.

Pearland, ok. But for decent house with room for a young family, you're no where near $300k for most homes in Montrose or the Heights.

You ain’t buying shite in any of the neighborhoods you named for $350k.

I live in the Heights. You need to budget at least $450k for a house (minimum) and be ready to send the kids to private school.

More realistic is $550-$700 in the Heights. $800k plus in Garden Oaks. Probably $600-$750 in Montrose. Of those only Garden Oaks has good public schools.

For the OP, look into Spring Branch, Spring, Katy or Kingwood/Humble. Yes you are going to have to commute.
