Hi friend,
This upcoming week, I’ll be sharing a new video series designed specifically for people relocating to Houston for work — and I wanted to create a few short blog posts to go alongside it.
So if you are relocating to Houston for work, and you are considering a move to Kingwood, this post was made for you.
My goal is simple:
to save you weeks of stress by helping you do two things in the right order.
First, make sure you’re working with the right relocation specialist and realtor.
Second, simplify the “where should I live?” decision — even if you haven’t narrowed down a specific city or suburb yet.
If you’re relocating to Kingwood or Houston for work, you might feel overwhelmed by the options. Or maybe you are trying to figure out who you can actually trust to guide you through this move. But I want to tell you that you are in the right place at the right time.

A Quick Introduction
If we haven’t met yet, my name is Jordan Schilleci. My husband Edward and I own a boutique real estate brokerage based in the Houston suburbs, and we help people relocate to the Houston area every single week.
We specialize in working with serious professionals who don’t want to waste time, don’t want guesswork, and don’t want to be handed off to the wrong team. If your move is work-driven and time-sensitive, we understand that urgency — and we’re built to work on your timeline.
My goal isn’t just to help you buy a house.
It’s to help you land in the right place.

Houston ≠ One Market
This is where most people get stuck.
Most relocation buyers start on Zillow… and quickly get overwhelmed. That’s not because you’re doing anything wrong — it’s because Houston is not one market.
It’s dozens of different markets, each with its own lifestyle, price points, commute patterns, school districts, tax structures, and community feel.
Two homes that look similar on Zillow can feel like completely different lives once you’re actually living there.
That’s why choosing where to live in Houston has far less to do with scrolling listings — and far more to do with clarity.

If you are considering Kingwood
If Kingwood is on your list, you’re not wrong to be looking here. Kingwood is a well-established master-planned community that appeals to people relocating to Houston for work who want strong schools, abundant green space, and a neighborhood feel that’s been thoughtfully built over time.
Kingwood is known for its extensive trail system, mature trees, and village-style layout. Rather than one large, uniform development, it’s made up of multiple villages, each with its own character, home styles, and price points. That variety is one of Kingwood’s strengths — but it’s also why choosing the right part of Kingwood matters.
Not all of Kingwood feels the same.
Some villages are closer to major roadways like Highway 59 and the Grand Parkway, while others feel more tucked away and quiet. Commute times, school zoning, tax rates, HOA structures, and even access to amenities can vary depending on where you land.
This is why two people can both “move to Kingwood” and end up with very different experiences.
The goal isn’t just to move to Kingwood.
The goal is to land in the right pocket of Kingwood for your life and your work.

Why so many relocating professionals & families choose Kingwood
Kingwood has long been a favorite for people relocating to the Houston area for work — especially for those who value strong schools, abundant green space, and a community that feels established and thoughtfully designed rather than rushed.
• Highly regarded school districts and education options
• Extensive greenbelt and trail system connecting neighborhoods, parks, and schools
• Mature trees and established villages with a true neighborhood feel
• A wide range of housing styles and price points across different villages
• Reasonable access to major roadways and employment corridors
For many relocating professionals and families, Kingwood offers balance. Daily life feels calmer and more connected to nature, while still providing access to work, schools, and everyday conveniences — which makes settling in during a major move feel more manageable.

But Kingwood isn’t one-size-fits-all
Here’s the Part Zillow Can’t Tell You
Kingwood may be a master-planned community, but it’s not a single experience. It’s made up of distinct villages, each with its own layout, home styles, lot sizes, and personality. Some villages feel more tucked away and quiet, while others are closer to shopping, schools, and major roadways.
Commute times can vary depending on which village you choose and where you’re working. Access to Highway 59, the Grand Parkway, and nearby employment hubs can look very different from one part of Kingwood to the next. School zoning, HOA structures, and even floodplain considerations can also vary between villages.
This is why two people can both “move to Kingwood” and end up with very different experiences.
The goal isn’t just to move to Kingwood.
The goal is to land in the right village of Kingwood for your life and your work.

This is where clarity matters most
If you’re considering Kingwood but aren’t 100% sure where to start, that’s normal. Most people aren’t.
You don’t need to have all the answers yet. You just need a starting point — and someone who understands how Kingwood fits into the bigger Houston picture.
That’s exactly what the next step is designed to help with.
The three decisions that actually matter (if you’re considering Kingwood)
When someone is relocating to Houston for work and considering Kingwood, there are three decisions that matter far more than the house itself.
1. Your commute — and which village you choose
This is the biggest one.
Kingwood is made up of multiple villages, and where you land can meaningfully affect your daily routine. Commute times, access to major roadways, and proximity to employment hubs vary depending on which village you choose.
Some villages offer quicker access to Highway 59 or the Grand Parkway, while others feel more tucked away and residential. Neither is wrong — but knowing which matters more to you helps narrow your options quickly.
This is one of the first things we talk through on a relocation call.
2. Lifestyle vs. budget
Kingwood offers a wide range of housing options — which is both a benefit and a challenge.
You’ll find everything from townhomes and patio homes to larger single-family homes on generous lots. Home styles, HOA structures, maintenance expectations, and price points can vary from village to village.
The key question isn’t “What’s the best village in Kingwood?”
It’s “What fits your lifestyle and budget right now?”
Once that’s clear, the list becomes much easier to manage.
3. Timeline and flexibility
Your timing matters more than most people expect.
If you’re relocating for work and need to move quickly, certain villages and home types may offer more immediate options than others. If you have more flexibility, you can wait for the right home in the right village rather than rushing into a compromise.
This is also where resale availability, competition, and overall market conditions come into play.
Understanding your timeline helps us focus on villages in Kingwood that actually work for your move — not just the ones that look good online.
Why this matters
Two people relocating for similar jobs can both choose Kingwood — and have very different experiences.
The difference isn’t luck.
It’s clarity.
Once these three decisions are clear, choosing where to live in Kingwood becomes much simpler — and far less stressful.
It’s okay if Kingwood still feels a little broad
Kingwood is a great option — but it’s also a large area with a lot of variety. Most people I work with don’t know which part of Kingwood is right for them at first, and that’s completely normal.
You don’t need a neighborhood picked out yet. You just need clarity around what matters most to you so we can narrow things down thoughtfully and efficiently.
That’s exactly what the next step is designed to help with.
So this is where Edward and I step in. We would love to speak with you over the phone. I have created a new link to schedule a call. It includes the six short questions you will need to answer to help us head in the right direction during our phone call. You can find that link by clicking here.
What happens when you click the link
When you click the link to schedule a call, you’ll see a short questionnaire first. It isn’t meant to overwhelm you, and it isn’t a commitment — it’s simply a clarity tool.
Houston is a big place, and this helps us make sure our first conversation is actually productive for you.
These questions help us quickly understand:
- what you value most (location, lifestyle, or budget),
- how you picture your day-to-day life,
- your ideal commute,
- what features matter most in a home,
- your timeline,
- and your budget range.
Instead of spending the first 20 minutes of our call guessing or asking surface-level questions, this allows us to walk into the conversation already oriented — so we can focus on guidance, strategy, and real options that fit your move.

What to expect after you submit it
Once you submit the questionnaire and book your call, I’ll review your answers ahead of time so our conversation is actually helpful. When we talk, we’ll:
- narrow down the right areas of Kingwood to focus on,
- talk through commute realities based on where you’ll be working,
- discuss timing, strategy, and flexibility,
- and outline next steps that make sense for your relocation to Kingwood.
No pressure. No rushing. Just clarity.
If you’re relocating to Houston for work and you are considering a home purchase in Kingwood…
If your move is coming up and you’re considering Kingwood, and you want help from people who do this every week — people who understand how different each part of Kingwood can feel and how to match that to real life — we’d love to help.
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just have to take the first step.
My goal isn’t just to be your realtor, but your resource.

What other areas does Jo & Co. service?
While this post focuses on Kingwood, Jo & Co. helps people relocate all across Greater Houston and its surrounding suburbs. Many of our clients start with one area in mind and end up somewhere completely different — simply because another location fits their lifestyle, commute, or timeline better.
We regularly help clients relocating to (and within):
- Katy & West Houston
- The Woodlands & Spring
- Tomball & Magnolia
- Cypress & Northwest Houston
- Conroe, Montgomery & Lake Conroe
- Fulshear, Richmond & Sugar Land
- Humble, Kingwood & Northeast Houston
If you’re relocating for work and still deciding where to land, that’s okay. You don’t have to narrow it down on your own. Part of our job is helping you compare areas honestly — so you can choose a place that truly fits your life, not just your search filters.
If you’re not sure where to look yet, start with a call. We’ll help you figure it out.
My goal isn’t just to be your realtor, but your resource.
