If moving out that way, you may want to consider Friendswood or League City because they are out of Houston and Harris County.
@sapphire: I grew up in that area and lived there after college for a few years as well (right across from JSC), so have all that down. But you're right, those are good locations to get the heck out of Houston.
So far my favorite houses have been in Tuscan Lakes and South Shore Harbor. I'm trying to stay fairly close to work so can't go as far out as Friendswood (though I love that area). (all this assumes I don't decide to leave current job and move far far away) 4951
