Pearland is real nice. I grew up there and in Kemah. There are several new neighborhoods being built along Beltway 8 between 288 and 225. Alvin is probably a lot far away depending on where you are working. If you are on the ship channel, where? 225 & Beltway 8 (Sam Houston tolway)? How much do you want to spend? Do you want to build a new house or buy an older one? How much do you want to spend? You can get a real nice home for $250k 2500ft2 or a nice 2000ft2 home for $180k to $200k |

Go South on Beltway 8/Sam Houston Tollway to Fairmont, then turn left. Down on the right is Village Grove, Fairmont estates etc. Might find some deals in there on Housing. Some newer homes, but most 15 years old or so in Village Grove. Neighborhood behind Village Grove also, I can't remember the name of it, but some very large homes back there. The ex-mayor lieves back there too. Good Luck. If you really don't mind driving, head down Red Bluff and come into Clear Lake/NASA area on Bay Area Blvd. You'll find lots of homes in there, but watch out for flooded homes. |
| I'd go with Pearland, but then again, I half grew up there and still have family and friends there. It's not too far from the Speedway / Beltway. That'd be your quickest route to Pasadena. It's also farther from the refineries that tend to blow up every now and then. Alvin is pretty good but a farther drive. Friendswood is a little expensive. |

I like the pearland area. The area around 288 & 518 is exploding right now. We even have a Bass Pro Shops coming in 2007. There are also a number of newer developments on the east side of pearland near the beltway that would provide reasonable commutes to the ship channel. Sauce |
