I 2nd this. Baybrook just north, Also, it's a 25ish minute drive to Galveston if you are into that kind of thing. The states largest clear water pool is just around the corner also. A 12 acre swimming pool. It is massive.

I lived in Pearland in the Shadow Creek Ranch community for a number of years. It was a nice area with new homes and easy access to 288, Hobby, and the coast. I liked Houston better than Dallas because it was more ethnically diverse, closer to the Gulf (of Mexico), and seemed more easy going.

We did our initial at FSI, right across the street from Houston Hobby. Smelled like a burnt down house outside.

I also did my initial at that FSI with my first airline. I didn't notice a weird smell, but I was initially put off by the lack of zoning laws and the widespread use of access roads paralleling the interstates.

Friendswood is a great place to settle in. Close to the airport and you don’t need to use the freeway if you don’t want to.

Many neighborhoods don’t flood. It’s safe, clean, and a 30 (maybe 45 now?) minute drive to downtown in one direction, and 30 minutes to the beach in the other. Spent 24 years there. Feel free to PM any questions.
