Still Can't Decide Where To Live! (Houston, Briar: house, schools, pros and cons)

[lhafer]

Based on schools, home values, and overall desirability - where would you live?

All of these have big pros and cons for me.

Briarbend area -
Pros: nice area, family friendly, close to shopping and restaurants
Cons: expensive, schools are okay, traffic, further from work location (channelview or downtown)

GOOF area -
Pros: family friendly, elementary is great, closer to work location,
Cons: expensive for new build, and fixers need teardown or major overhauls, older schools not good

Meyerland area -
Pros: more affordable, fairly close to shopping, more likely to get the style of house we like with a pool, schools are good
Cons: flood prone, probably furthest from work location

Meyerland then.

Well of course I vote Meyerland, because I love this area so much. The flood problem is the best kind of problem to have, because it's a KNOWN problem. If a house didn't flood in the two recent apocalypses, you can be pretty sure it's not going to. You can't be sure of that in most places in Houston.
