Sugar land, Stafford. Bellaire. Brookshire would be nice but it won't fit to your commute time frame.

Important factors are:

-Around a 30 minute commute to downtown both ways.
Hate to break it to you but these are 3 points on a triangle in houston. Pick two, you can't have all three.

Fall Creek if it hasn't been posted yet but not sure what schools they get zoned too, especially high school. If Humble HS, then might look at Oakhurst off 59 in Kingwood. Good area and in Montgomery County.

Check out the Champions area near 1960 and 249, has a northshore feel to it. I find Katy and places without tons of trees bleak and depressing, not to mention the awful commute.

I second Kingwood. Me and my wife almost ended up in Houston and this was going to be our bet.

I'm in clear lake. About 30 min or so from downtown. Nice little city with anything you want. Lots of good restaurants and good schools. Should at least take a look. Friendswood has very good schools also.

Currently live in the Garden Oaks/ Oak Forest area. It's just North of the loop and a neighborhood with character. How it hasn't been mentioned yet is beyond me. I don't think the $200-$300k budget should be a barrier to entry but it might be. They're houses here that are being torn down and the rebuilds are pushing $1 mil but still plenty of properties in your range.
I don't have kids so I don't know about schools but Oak Forest Elementary is a public school that looks the part for sure...

Idk where you are commuting to, but it would take me at least 30 minutes most days to get to work in the loop, and that was living off the beltway.
Traffic will be a daily battle no matter where you live, but my advice is to avoid the southern suburbs. I 45 south is a disaster during rush hour

I currently live in Summerwood. Nice neighborhood. My daughter just finished middle school and will be attending Summer Creek in the fall.
Check out the Groves along West Lake Houston. Brand new neighborhood with some really nice houses. It's about 5 to 10 minutes from the beltway and whatever direction you want to take into downtown.
If you need a broker, just let me know. I have an inside source that could get you a really good agent for the area!
Good Luck!
ETA-don't need flood insurance in Summerwood and after Stormagedden Memorial Day edition, we did not get water close to our house.

Good thread OP as I'm also considering Houston (also Ft. Lauderdale and a few other cities) and my important factors are about the same.
My destination would be a little west of downtown and closer to Memorial Park/River Oaks area. Sugar Land looks pretty good. Woodlands is out of the question.
