I know that's literally the only house in your range because I already looked.

And you think that's fully renovated? Looks like grandmas kitchen.

There is a reason that house has sat for 40+ days so thanks for proving my point.

Guess we have different taste. Not sure why you're so hung up on this but hey if you feel good about yourself then cool.

The photo descriptions are amazing. I feel like maybe those were intended for a different house.

Description for the driveway of a mid-century suburban home be like:

"An elegant circular drive sweeps majestically beneath a cathedral of towering trees, where dappled golden-hour sunbeams dance across manicured gardens and fragrant blooms. Each arrival feels like a royal procession, each departure a poetic farewell, as nature's grand archway unveils the stately grace of this extraordinary estate."

I know I will NEVER forget that timeless brick facade.

I can't ****ing wait


Nothing more serene than a view of the ambulances racing up to Memorial Herman

....or a closet with no hanging rods and two wasted walls


a Mud Room between the house and the backyard? What will they think of next?


nothing says luxurious spa like a shower/tub combo

I like the outdoor spaces where they always mention that you can drink coffee or wine.

Nothing else. Just coffee or wine. Don't you dare bring that diet Coke out here!

Lived there 28 years but gone for 2 and a half now. Check this board just for this and Katy restaurant threads. This week delivered.

Cap. I know you're an old but you'll never convince me you're not here for the weather girl thread.

Damn straight I'm old! How's the JH crew doing?

I'm at the airport headed for three days of golf and the boys have three tournaments weekend. T&p for my marriage.

30 years of Tine before leaving last summer. I keep up with the Tine Board for (in no particular order after #1):

1. News / Weather Hotties
2. Dora news
3. Crime news.
4. Neighborhood / School slap fights
5. Hurricane news

2-5 always affirm my decision to get the F out of Houston.

The fact that the map colors can't be skin colors always pissed me off when trying to read these.

I've updated this for the 2030 map whenever it comes out.
-Spring Valley sees continued gentrification expansion upwards. SBISD will redraw boundaries to make sure new whites don't get zoned into either Memorial or Stratford.
-Greater Heights Area tries to expand in the direction they hear nightly gunshots. Will fail.
-St. Arnolds areas and EaDo try to push further gentrification north and east but they run out of millennials without kids willing to pay those prices. This is blamed on the original Ninfas on Navigation just being to expensive to be a community center anymore.
-Indians encircle and put pressure on the remaining white boomers in Sugarland. Boomer relent and sell. Boomers look at Towne Lake but settle on Bridgeland after the wife nixes buying a wakeboarding boat to ski on retention ponds.

Couple of other points if OP comes back....

You mentioned homeschool. Trinity Classical School and Second Baptist University Model do hybrid on campus/at home. It's not for everyone, but we know people at both that are very happy. If you go that route, it would open up lower price points north of I10 that are still good neighborhoods but without great schools.

On Wilchester vs the Villages. I think that's true of the parts that are long streets with only cul de sacs or really large lots. There are plenty of very communal neighborhoods zoned to FW/BH.

All villages aren't the same. The farther east (ie hunters creek and a bit of piney point) are much more private school/uppity oriented. Other half of piney point and especially bunker hill are great and have a top 5 public school vertical in the state with bunker hill elementary/frostwood/l, memorial middle, memorial high. Taking out hunters creek because a lot of it is incredibly wealthy empty nesters and foreign money:

1) villages specifically bunker hill/piney point/hedwig
2) rummel creek area
3) wilchester
4) spring valley

Bad demographics are leaking into the public schools in wilchester/stratford and valley oaks elementary. That will never happen at bunker hill/frostwood and memorial high school. I'll let you figure out why.

At one of the investor meetings years ago, Brock mentioned the area gentrifying w/ the big apartments being built soon (at that time) and made a comment about he likes the area, but those folks are way more brave than he is. I've biked there from the Heights, and been chased by a few big pits going South from Hogan.

I'd move there for easy access to Art Car.

There's a pretty viral 4Chan post that gets shared on other media platforms about a dude who moves into a terrible crackhead neighborhood because its cheap and he's broke. He gets an idea to buy a cheap drone, put red and blue lights on it, and a speaker that repeats, 'THE POLICE HAVE BEEN CONTACT, DISPERSE FROM THIS AREA'. Or something of the sort.

And it works. The crackheads scatter because they're crackheads not critical thinkers contemplating do the police actually have a drone. There is peace in his neighborhood.

Because the scourge moved on, his rent doubled the next year and he had to move out.

I bet there is some real estate investor who has thought about buying land, and then throw some glycol soaked steaks around the hood until all the loose dogs were dead.

Also, tropic boom IPA is their best seasonal beer. At 9.5% it'll do its job quickly. I like handing it out at family and friends get togethers to those who 'only will have one or two.'

Good news, Tropic Boom is a year round beer! It's very good, and a heavy hitter; I really liked Texas Winter IPA but I think it fell off the rotation.

We had friends in a townhouse on Middle St and some dude, probably owned the empty land S of the bayou, used to block Bayou Parkview with concrete guardrails using a tractor or skid steer. We'd drive around them after people moved them and he'd be back out there re-positioning them pretty quickly. I guess trying to block cut through traffic to/from the barrio to the South.

I've lived in Bunker Hill for 8 years and have two kids at bunker hill elementary and 1 at memorial middle school. Good quip though.

glad you appreciated it

Is everyone on this board a multimillionaire? I've never even viewed this board until this thread. Just moved back here and figured I'd check out the Houston board.

Yes and their kids are all in the top 3% at schools that are in the top 5%.

Also, all our kids' sports/dance/cheer/whatever teams came in first place in a noteworthy national tournament/competition.
