Anyone have any area recommendations for buying a house in Houston but have regular commutes downtown? 300k max but would like a house (not a townhome/apartment).

If you are ok with an older home look in parts of spring branch, west chase or energy corridor areas

How’s the commute though? Any more than 30-45 minutes?

I’m in sugar land. And I take park and ride when I need to go into downtown. When i drive and school is in session depending when I leave it can take 45 min or longer. The earlier I leave the less time it takes but if I leave at 8 am I can’t make it by 8:30 unless I get on the express lane. but even then it can take a little longer.

I would look at Montrose, can get something for 400k but commute is minimal and flooding risk very low

Or EaDo

Most of the major suburbs have a METRO park and ride if that's an option. Otherwise, Spring Branch is a good choice. Gentrification going nicely, it went from gang related drive-bys in my teens, to 500k super skinny townhomes today....lol

I’m 25 and I have this itch to move to a completely new city. I love my city and just bought a house there but I just have this weird feeling I should be somewhere else. I’ve lived in my city for my whole life except for college (which was only 3 hours away). It seems weird and random to up and leave especially after just buying a house. Would love to hear anyone else’s thoughts/experiences!
