What is Mission Bend Like?

I live in a suburb - not on par with say, Cinco Ranch or Telfiar, but I love my area/neighborhood. I think suburbs are awesome, probably because of my inner city upbringing. My mom literally used to drive from downtown to Sugar Land just to look at the homes and dream. Kind of sad, but everyone needs something to aspire to. Anyway, now that I'm in a suburb, it's cool for me. And I think everyone should live where it works for them.

I get SO SICK of the labels put on less than stellar neighborhoods by the ridiculous people on these Houston boards. Everything is ghetto, or low class or crime riddled or something else when many of those people have either never lived there or they may have grown up there but all of a sudden they're too good for the place. The schools are awful, the "people of color" are (gasp!) not white. The ignorance shown on these boards sometimes, especially with regards to what community to live in, is appalling. I applaud the fact that although you're in a well-to-do tax bracket, you still maintain some common sense and simply "do you". Instead of doing and living where everyone thinks you should live.

I hope this post makes sense, I'm having trouble trying to tidy up all of my thoughts into this message because there's so much to say but it's probably not even worth saying on this board. Anyway, great post and kudos to you for living where you're comfortable and not where these people think you should or shouldn't be.

Well, thanks. I also built a very large (3 storey) wooden playhouse, kinda shaped like the white house. Goodluck getting that approved in other subdivisions or by 'concerned' homeowners

I hoped you finally move to Mission Bend. We got our home in 2017 and its one of the best decisions we have made. The whole area didn't flooded vs Katy got completely destroyed. And what's the point of having school rating 10 if they will be closed half the year because of natural disaster, plus Alif schools are awesome kids getting into Ivily schools. The crime in Mission Bend (if you go by the census) is manly because is a smaller area than any other one. But in 1 year I haven't seen a much peaceful environment than this one. And we lived first up close to the Woodlands, where we love it, but commute was very hard. Finding Mission Bend (after seeing dozens of houses all around south west I-10) was like a little part of woodlands with very old huge beautiful trees, closer to the city and a huge diversity. Which makes it more interesting since that's Houston all about!

I volunteer at college fairs and have met some awesome kids from Alief ISD. But Ivily? You can’t be serious.

Decent trolling. 7/10, would read again.
