Where would you go?
Hey future neighbors! I am currently in Tampa, FL but I will be moving to Houston in August with the Fiancé due to a job relocation.
Any suggestions for the area? I have heard traffic is definitely an issue. My office is just south of the airport, and so far I have only done the basic Zillow research. The two areas we like so far are The Woodlands and Downtown. We most likely will rent an apartment for 6 months-12 months and potentially will look for a house to purchase after. Thanks for the help and hopefully you guys have some local meets! |

Welcome to H-Town
Traffic is definitely one of the biggest factors you want to consider in deciding where to locate. If you were only driving to the beltway eight loop from the woodlands the traffic is not as bad as going all the way into downtown. From downtown out to the beltway can get backed up during high traffic times.
There is a really good Camaro club in Houston. Check out the H–Town Camaro club webpage. A really great group of folks and lots of fun events. |

I think it really depends on where you are going to be working.
The woodlands is a pretty dense area with its own set of traffic challenges. While you are looking, check out the Kingwood area. It's convenient to the woodlands thanks to the newly opened Grand Parkway. Like the Woodlands, lots of trees and trails to choose from. Where ever you end up, pay close attention to water runoff. We get some pretty good gully washers when the skies open up! As for local meets, I'm still looking for them myself. ☺ Regardless, welcome to the Lone Star State!

So far, we are looking in Spring, The Woodlands, and one place over in the Houston Groves/Lake Houston community. It seems like the office isn't in the greatest of areas for commuting. We are in our late 20's so we don't really do the party scene too much anymore, but it'd be nice to have a bunch of things to do around us. That's why we were leaning towards The Woodlands. After looking more closely, living in Downtown just seems like it will break the bank and will have us end up living in traffic lol |

Awesome!!! Come on down... we have meets almost every weekend here as the Camaro Club is always busy with something.
I also live up in The Woodlands area and love it. You'll have the Hardy Toll as an option for nice travel to your work location. I drive it every day back and forth to downtown Houston. Also, don't limit yourself North wise to The Woodlands as it's only a couple minutes further to Montgomery County, lots of great neighborhoods, lower taxes and great neighborhoods. Look forward to meeting up with you sometime. |

Awesome, sounds good. We plan on having both vehicles shipped. It's not the longest drive in the world, but it will be a lot easier and will keep the milage off
