Yeah, I looked for six months before buying.

When I moved to Houston, I became very well acquainted with HAR.com. It is a great tool for comparing neighborhoods, schools, and crime rates.

For estimated commute times, pick a suggested start and end point and google map it with traffic at the appropriate times of day. Do that every day for a while and you'll be able to see traffic patterns.

Welcome.
