Sugar Land is your best bet especially for diversity and family. There are a million threads on Sugar Land so use the search function and you'll find lots of info. I don't know if you will be able to find a single family home there for $1800 though. Use www.har.com.

Stay away from Alief. Not a very good part of town.

Edit: The diversity in Sugar Land is mostly Asian and Middle Eastern though.

The closer you get to Spring, the more you see black people.

What areas are your favorite, or would you love to live??

We both work from home, so commute will not be an issue.

Also, any feedback on these areas?
- Missouri City
- Pearland
- Cypress
- Prestonwood Forest
- Katy
- Alief
- Sugarland

THANKS!!
In Houston beautiful areas are not diverse LOL. ( And definitely not Liberal).

If you are looking for equally diverse neighborhoods (whites, blacks, asians, hispanics) some really good ones to consider would be all of the neighborhoods bordering Dulles Ave on either side between Hwy 6 and Avenue E. East of Dulles would be Missouri City, and west of it is Sugar Land. Also either side of Lexington and west of Murphy. These homes are zoned to Dulles Elementary (north of Lexington) or Lexington Creek Elementary. If you look at the demographics of both schools (can find them on HAR) you'll see a really good mix of all ethnicities.

Anybody that says that, doesn't live in Houston
Everybody in The Woodlands tells me that they are amazed of how diverse it is

About conservative/liberal
Rich people are usual conservative, poor people are usually liberal
So obviously, the richer neighborhoods are always conservative

I think Sugar Land, given your needs. Sugar Land is a pretty "close in" suburb that is very diverse. It has some a museum of its own, and of course, the major museum district is just a straight shot down the 59.

Haha!! Yeah, I honestly dont care about politics of a particular area..as we are neither straight liberal/conservative ourselves. As long as people don't have problems with black families (like the post from ny)

We are more interested in finding an area with a good mix of various people, friendly, family oriented, educated, etc. We plan to homeschool, but areas with high ranked schools is still great.
