A small town suburb, quiet with AAA great schools and not many transplants.

What are other areas of Houston that are similar. Fyi sugarland and Katy are not. They are filled with transplants

What makes you think League City/Clear Lake has that many fewer transplants, first of all?

Crosby, Huffman, & Mont Belvieu/Barbers Hill are all known for a small town feel and all have above average school. The big difference between the League City/Webster area and these is that you have to drive a longer distance for high end shopping experiences even though everything you really need is close by in these communities.
I live in the Mont Blevieu/Barbers Hill area and overall I think we have fewer transplants…the largest group of people in Mont Belvieu/Barbers Hill that come to mind as what might be considered transplants are still from another Houston suburb, not from out of state (they're the "white-flight" from Pasadena if you were curious). Crosby and Huffman haven't really seen explosive growth to allow there to be a transplant group that would really be noticeable.

From what I have seen when down there, there are quite a lot of transplants down around League City/Clear Lake/Friendswood. Almost as many as Sugar Land and Katy. Hate to burst your bubble.

I know plenty Katy people who were born and raised there while the subdivisions were still rice fields and Cinco Ranch was actually a ranch. Where you are is not drastically different. NASA brought people from all over the place there decades ago.

League City + Webster has 100k people and the entire area 250k if you count Friendswood. It's also in the pathway from the whole of Houston to Galveston, Kemah and NASA. That's a big, busy suburb, and a world apart from Mont Belvieu.

My experience in Clear Lake is that almost everyone is a transplant, but there are lots of Texans from other parts of the state, including native Houstonians.

PS - Lived in different neighborhoods here 10+yrs near Clear Lake City Blvd...
The NASA presence used to be small, but visible & influential (clique). Nowadays their presence is miniscule. In my experience the vast majority of people are employed in Oil/Gas/Chemicals in offices & plants, or run their own businesses... the majority of which do service for O&G. Some people made some great buys after NASA ramped down but before O&G boomed.
