At least the Woodlands has a bus you can take, from what I understand.

Welp, looks like my company will be laying off 40-50% of our IT folks, and probably moving a lot of the rest to Houston

Seems like everybody moves to Katy, Spring, or the Woodlands

That's the impression we've got as well, but then talking to a coworker there he scoffed at living so far away

The commute from Spring/The Woodlands will not be enjoyable

I have a brother in law in Kingwood. Great area with young families and strong wards, but a long drive downtown.

Houston is a cool area, so it could be worse.

The food is good and the people are nice. It definitely could be worse and I'm not looking for sympathy or anything

We liked the Katy area. Good wards, good access to downtown.

Someone else mentioned Cinco Ranch - looks like that's close to Katy?

I think Conroe isd and Katy are both top rated districts. They're pretty far

I recently did a similar long distance move. Two things that were very helpful:

We did #1 when we moved and it saved us from making some very poor decisions
