I am moving to houston from corpus.
I would like to have some pointers as we will be commuting to the medical center every day for work.
We are looking to buy a newer house in the 150-250k range in an area not to far a drive.... not looking to move into one of the cookie cutter houses you see everywhere either if you know what i mean.
Is pearland or sugarland ok?

I got my degree from A&M-CC and worked there for a few years.

Pearland reminds me of parts of Corpus - more of the houses that you see over near Cimmarron and Saratoga. It takes about 30 minutes to get there from the Medical Center - but if traffic is heavy it could take 45 minutes.

A lot of the problem is what high school you're zoned to, unless you don't have kids. You'd want to be zoned to Bellaire rather than Westbury or Lee (HISD), but you might find a better bargain zoned to the other two. You'd be looking at areas just west of the loop. Your buck would probably go furthest in Sugar Land, Missouri City or Pearland.
