re: Where would you live in Houston if your budget was 750-800K (Mostly Inner Loop)?

That may be true where you live but in many cities, like where I live, that affords typical suburbia around 1,500 square feet or a condo in the city around 900 square feet.

Highland Park is literally a better education than LSU

I don't disagree with you. I had looked a lot at Pearland and really liked it. Got some great properties for 400K or so, but from what I gather, most of the town was really fricked up by Harvey, and it's fairly flood prone otherwise.
I have lived in Pearland for 18 years in two different houses. Was in Silverlake for Allison and Shadow Creek for Harvey. Did not flood either time.

Why not something like the Commerce Towers and private school?

Memorial was very attractive to me until I realized that parts of it flooded three times in three years. I'd have to be very careful with area. Seems like Piney Point has been fine whereas Hedwig and Bunker Hill, not as much.
looking at Google maps today, it shows some of flooding in the areas I was referring to. Obviously be careful, but I'd still take those areas. I've been living here or family here for about 30 years and those areas are not typically flood prone like this past time. With that said, at some point in your lifetime, I'd bet it will happen again before it doesn't.
Close to downtown and public schools, networking, living, etc. those areas are hard to beat. The houston area in general is prone to flash flooding so always choose wisely when deciding whichever neighborhood ir burb.

It's funny how there are two kinds of posters in this thread. People with some familiarity with Houston who treat my post as very normal and those who do not have the same familiarity.
I don't know which one I fall under with you but I think what you posted were fine questions.

As a state they are near the bottom. There are good school districts in nice areas

You're clearly in the first group, as are all of the other posters who offered suggestions about areas to look at. I appreciate your suggestions.
Some of the places suggested are pricier than what I can afford, others have schools that are a little worse than what I am looking for, but they are reasonable suggestions that are worth serious thought.
Yet despite several pages of good replies from Houston residents (or former residents), others think I am trying to make up some crazy net worth...that just barely lets me buy something within a 20 minute radius of downtown

Throw condition 2 out of the window and be prepared to drive. You couldn't pay me to live inside the hell hole inner loop. In fact, I wouldn't live anywhere in Houston outside of The Woodlands area. Everything else is shite. I live in The Woodlands and can't wait to get the hell out of Houston.

Yea, he might have technically lived within what's officially the River Oaks neighborhood but there isn't a single "River Oaks House" worth significantly less than $800K...
Our house was off of W Gray & Shepherd.. no it wasnt on Lazy Lane or anything, but still a nice section of R.O... to be fair, it was a townhome, but other than the shared wall it was as nice as any 'home' home.. about 2200 sq ft and even had a yard, albeit small.. the location and proximity everything in the Loop was more than worth any tradeoff.

Houston sucks...

I live on the west side of Pearland. Address is actually Manvel, but I wouldn't suggest coming here over some other burbs. I meet all your criteria though.
