Don't know if y'all have kids (for schools) but both of those areas have great schools, too...especially the Katy area. If not, the Bellaire area (SW of Houston) would be another option - and the commute would be shorter.
Welcome to Texas! Best of luck!
My wife’s currently close to Bellaire. We’ve been looking at Sugar Land, but Katy seems a bit too long a commute. The challenge is finding something relatively close that we can afford that’s large enough, allows pets, and doesn’t look like it hasn’t been touched since the 60s. Seems to be pretty slim pickings, as rentals go.
