Maybe Moving to Houston Area

Acre lots in a good school district are hard to find unless you have a big budget or are willing to have a loong commute.

If you don't mind me asking what is your budget? (I'm a native Houstonian, grew up on the NW side of town but now live S of Houston)

I found this map, little outdated but it gives you an idea of locations /distances:

Basically in-town you have spring branch ISD.

S of town you have Clear Creek, Pearland, and Friendswood ISDs.

W of town you have Fort Bend and Katy ISDs.

N of town is Cy-Fair, Klein, and Humble ISDs.

Klein ISD is one of the top ISD's in Houston. It is north of downtown. Spring/Woodlands area. Some great subdivisions are Springbrook, Windrose. They are located in a great area, lots of shopping, close access to Highways and Metro Park n Ride (for your hubby going downtown). Check it out! Best of luck to you!

I live in Sienna Plantation on the SW side of Houston. It is a master planned community with 3 exemplary elementary schools, a middle school and a high school. There are homes of all sizes, 4 pools (two of which are "resort" pools/water parks, small neighborhood parks all over the place, "Camp Sienna" which has soccer and baseball fields, horse stables, a library....you name it, it's here. I love living here!

Good luck with your search. I know there are some great neighborhoods in Katy and the Woodlands also, but you would just have to check into how long your hubby's commute would be.
