He's right. Both tha Woodlands and Spring are nice areas. Little farther drive to Pinemont. But then you always have tha Sam Tollway. Copperfield is nice. Its just off 290 about a mile or so down Hwy 6. You dont play golf do ya? Hearthstone is one of many places for that. Not to say you have to play golf to live there. There's new construction out 290 around Fry Rd. and beyond. Do you know how long your gonna be in Stinkadena? Once you move to Pinemont, your not gonna want to commute every day from say Sugarland or even Katy. Since you perminate Pinemont office is Northwest, look out that way for your house. Go rent something down south untill you transfer. How bout a beech house around Kemah? We'll PARTY!!! Seriously, rent as close to your Pas. office as possible and then buy you a house on the Northwest side. No reason to have to drive (or should I say sit) for over an hour in traffic twics a day unless you have to.
