Houston is not a great place to live, way too spread out, nothing much to do, etc.
Lived in Woodlands/Spring area for almost 6 years and have had a blast. There's plenty to do unless block parties, crawfish boils, etc are not your thing. Montgomery county schools are some of the best in the nation. No state income tax, no personal property tax, and I play golf 12 months a year. I drive 25 minutes to the parking lot (we all share the same lot) so low stress.
Don't base your judgement by what you see around IAH. It's hot as balls here but that is what air-conditioning, pools, and cold beer are for.
