I'm in the middle of a job hunt, I'm about to finish my master's. I'm interested in a couple of jobs in the Houston area, one in Sugar Land. I am preparing my application, and I am also doing background research on the area so I'll know the overall picture.
What can you tell me about the Sugar Land area, or the Houston metro area in general?
What are the good areas to live in? Where to avoid?
Do people who work in Sugar Land usually live nearby, or is it a commuter town?
My wife and I have a preference for older housing--like, 1920-1930, bungalow/craftsman style houses, or older, 1880's-1900's Victorians. Most of what I'm seeing around Sugarland is very new (since the town is actually pretty new). Where in the commuting area would we look for older, well-kept, but not astronomically priced homes?
We'd rather stay away from anything built in the post-WWII period. Don't like ranch homes either.
Suggestions? Any help would definitely be appreciated.
Jim
