Thank you for the reply. Yes, Venetian Estates has many homes built in the 60's and 70's but it does have some newer homes built in the 2000's and 2020's. Thank you

There are tons of trails. Check out the map on the Bridgeland website: www.bridgeland.com/things-to-do/trails/

Thanks for the question. I wish I had a crystal ball to tell you what it will be rated in the next few years but unfortunately, I don't. :( But if you look at the surrounding elementary schools in LCISD you'll find Lindsey Elementary with an A rating, Huggins Elementary with an A rating, Tamarron Elementary with a B rating, and Randle Elementary with a B rating. So there there is a decent chance that it will be rated highly in the future.

Here's where I go to check the current school ratings: www.har.com/school

@@YourHoustonMove Thanks for getting to me. I would guess it’s in B range. Do you know roughly how many years later they will rank the new school?

@@Xenogoodd I'm not sure and I didn't see anything online so maybe an administrator or teacher can respond with an answer. :)

Thank you for the feedback. I'll be sure to do that in future videos. :)

@@YourHoustonMove Thank you!

Morton Ranch has some affordable homes, and is close to I10. If schools are important to you, I'd look somewhere else.

Yes, I definitely regret not adding Commonwealth. It’s a great neighborhood and I should have added it in around 7 or so. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the response. I don’t have any videos on Tomball or Spring yet but I plan on filming Tomball this fall and then Spring and The Woodlands. 👍

Sugar Mill is great! I have some clients in the neighborhood and they like the location and the community.

Yes, even with these more affordable homes in Katy, the cost of owning a home has definitely increased since 2020. Some of these neighborhoods don't have a very high HOA and I've seen property taxes come down in the last year but homeowners insurance is crazy expensive now.

Thanks for reaching out. I have a few thoughts on some areas that may be of interest but it depends on your budget and criteria. Please feel free to reach out: paulholub.com/schedule-a-consultation/

Yes, thanks for the comment. Hurricanes and flooding do happen in Houston from time to time. I made a video on some negatives for living in Houston but didn't dive into hurricanes too much. Mostly flooding. Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/VEl_ZHHj778/v-deo.htmlsi=RaJBVJ_7W8SI_os1

Great question! I went into detail about the 3 school districts in and around the Energy Corridor in this video: ua-cam.com/video/RbcHey2Yt0Q/v-deo.html

Thanks! I'll add that to the video creation que :)

I totally agree! Thanks for the comment!

Great suggestion! I like Williamsburg Settlement as it has some beautiful homes for more affordable prices. 👍

That’s awesome! I don’t remember exactly where I was in New Territory. It might have been in Clayton’s Bend but I do like New Territory. I have many friends and clients there and they love it 👍

Good questions. An HOA (homeowners association) helps protect your property value by maintaining the rules and the bylaws for a community. For example, an HOA’s helps prevent someone from parking a busted old car in the yard or turning a house into a mechanics shop. They also maintain community areas like pools, tennis courts, common areas and more. They are very helpful in Houston as we don’t have any zoning laws, although you often get HOA board members with ego trips. :/ Most neighborhood fees in Houston range from $500-1200 annually but the larger master planned communities will often have additional fees when you buy or sell in the neighborhood (capitalization fees, community enhancement fees or foundation fees). The foundation fees can range from 1/4 of 1% to 1/2 of 1% of the sales price of your home. You can take them to court but the fees are already set by the neighborhood when you purchase and you agree to abide by the rules and bylaws when you buy a home there. There are other areas around Houston that are not in an HOA but it’s very common to be in one, especially in the suburbs.

@@YourHoustonMove thanks for the detailed explanation.

You’re welcome!

Yes, we have had some crazy weather the past few year. Thanks for the feedback and best of luck!

That’s correct. I included other neighborhoods in Missouri City so not every neighborhood is technically the City of Sugar Land. Thanks for the comment 👍

Part of Riverstone is in Sugar Land (not in the city limits, but they do have Sugar Land addresses…check the University/LJ Parkway area). The homes going back towards hwy 6 in Riverstone have Missouri City addresses.

Elyson is great! I went over it extensively in my “New Homes in Katy” video so I thought I’d review some other great neighborhoods of various price points.

@@YourHoustonMove I get it but Ventana lakes in top 10? Come on!

I know it isn't the most fancy neighborhood but I didn't want to just put in the most expensive neighborhoods in Katy. I wanted to have a few that were zoned to good schools and that first time home buyers can afford. I could have put in Tamarron or Sunterra or another affordable neighborhood but I'll be adding those to future videos. I do appreciate the feedback!@@luxyvip

Haha, there are definitely some great neighborhoods in North Katy. I plan to review my favorites in another video. Which neighborhood are you in?

Thanks for the feedback! Good point about Woodcreek JH and yes, my mistake on the homes in Cinco Ranch. They actually started selling homes in Cinco Ranch Greenway in 1990, I mistakenly thought it was 1988 or 1989.

Elyson is a great neighborhood! They have some great builders and I like many of the floorplans. I have clients in the neighborhood and they really like it there. The taxes are rather high, so just be sure to factor that into your monthly budget.

Thanks for the feedback! @@YourHoustonMove

Ah, good catch on the Sysco Headquarters. Thank you for letting me know! And yes, commuting to downtown can still be rough, but it is not as bad as the suburbs.

You bet!

Seven Meadows is a great neighborhood! It was another great neighborhood I could have put in the top 10 due to the great schools, location and style of homes but I just couldn't get every great neighborhood on the list.

All of the people that were born and raised here are slowly being priced out of their own city because of the people moving in (mostly from California). Traffic is also getting worse. I'm surprised you never mentioned the northern part of Sugar Land that's close to the border with Houston. I live in that area in one of the older neighborhoods just a five minute drive from the old Imperial Sugar factory.

Thanks for the comment. I definitely need to cover the northern neighborhoods in Sugar Land in a future video. Also, prices have increased dramatically in Sugar Land since the crash in 2008, and actually across the US. The average sales price for a single family home in Sugar Land in 2008 was $228,000. Here in February, 2024, it’s $488,000.

I like Sunterra. They have a ton of inventory currently so they are dropping prices and offering more incentives. The tax rate is high, around 3.5%, so just be aware of that when budgeting.

@@YourHoustonMove thanks for your analysis
