Houston’s a great area to move to in general. There are plenty of resources, a variety of environments, and you’re never too far from something amazing. 

However, there are a lot of different suburbs around Houston, and some are better for different types of movers. 

Today, we’re going to go over the best suburbs of Houston for families or those who are looking to start a family. 

1: Richmond 

If you’re looking to move to a new home that’s close to amazing schools, Richmond is the choice for you. 

Richmond is known for its peaceful and quiet atmosphere, and it has some of the highest quality public education around. 

Schooling isn’t the only benefit, though. There’s a wide variety of housing options to choose from in multiple price ranges that make Richmond accessible to most families. 

Richmond is also close to some of the other suburbs on this list with complementary traits such as more developed commerce zones, scenic areas, and more. 

2: Sugar Land

Sugar Land is one of the suburbs we move a lot of our clients to, and there’s a good reason for it. Sugar Land is a historic neighborhood with lots of things for families to do together both indoors and outside, has a diverse population that mixes various cultures for lots of unique experiences in one place, and it has the top-rated schools in the region.

We know that when we move families to Sugar Land, they’re going to fall in love with the area and make a lifetime of memories there. 

3: Katy

Katy is the most cost-effective community on this list, but that doesn’t mean that it’s lacking in any essential area. 

Katy has affordable housing that makes it accessible, a tight-knit community that’s known for being extremely welcoming to new members from a variety of cultures and backgrounds, and it’s close to lots of family-oriented areas. 

Katy’s also growing very quickly. Every time we move a new family into the Katy area, there’s something new popping up that’s enhancing the community and providing new opportunities. So, now is the perfect time to get into the community while it’s still relatively small. 

4: The Woodlands

The Woodlands is an affluent and luxurious community that boasts one of the lowest crime rates in the Houston area. This makes it an extremely safe and cozy area where families can feel secure in their day-to-day lives. 

The suburb is also known for its many commercial opportunities and public amenities such as Einstein’s Pub and Arcade or the historic George Ranch Historic Park. Other, more adult-oriented attractions such as the Braman Winery and Brewery offer parents the opportunity to enjoy themselves, as well. 

Being an affluent community, The Woodlands is a more expensive place to live, and it does have a fairly high cost of living in comparison to the other suburbs we frequently move clients to. The quality of life is superb and more than worth the extra cost, though. 

5: Spring Branch

This is the suburb we recommend to movers who want a family-friendly environment with a good mix of things to do.

Spring Branch is centrally located and functions as a sort of hub between the city of Houston and neighboring suburbs. This gives it a unique blend of urban and suburban traits, and you can experience some aspects of city life without the drawbacks of being in a more cramped space. 

While not the top-rated school, Spring Branch does have some great schools with high scores in all grade levels, and its centralized location makes it easy to go to just about anywhere else in the area without much time spent traveling. 

6: Midtown

Midtown is family-friendly while still being upbeat and full of life and opportunities.

The average worker is between 20 and 40 years old in high-quality positions, the schools have a B+ rating to ensure that your children get a great education, while there are plenty of attractions, local spots, and opportunities, and the metro system is well-established. So, getting to neighboring areas or into the larger city is a breeze. 

7: Kingwood

In our opinion, Kingwood is an amazing place to raise a family, and it’s rated as such, too. Kingwood has a focus on greenery and outdoor activities with plenty of hiking and bike trails accented with well-kept greenways, and it has an above-average school system. 

Housing in the area also comes in a high price range. While there are million-dollar homes, there are also homes under 200k, and there are even plenty of multi-family housing options available for renters. 

Finally, Kingwood is located next to Lake Houston, and while it’s 25 miles from the city, there’s plenty to keep your family busy.
