My husband has been offered a job oppurtunity in Houston Texas and they have asked us to move there for a year. I am seeking advice on nice neighbourhoods to live and good school districts. We have lived in the USA before but it was on the East Coast we are currently living in Ireland. Need to find out information on Houston the pro's and con's, public and private (catholic) school systems, public transport, persume we will need a car, childcare. Require information of these to try and decide weather we should move or not. Thanking you all

i lived there 7 years and worked for one of the school districts...i have a lot to say about the area but not enough room here...
start by deciding how far out of the city you want to live and where your husband's job is located...you cannot survive there witout a car!
fort bend county isn't too far away and has better schools...
spring branch isn't too bad...but if you're really in the bucks, the woodlands and kingwood are great places to live, but very expensive...
a lot depends on your desires and budget
email me if you want to talk further
