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 Spring, 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 Spring 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 Spring
If Spring is on your list, you’re not wrong to be looking here. Spring is one of the most common relocation choices for people moving to Houston for work — especially for those who want strong schools, established neighborhoods, and flexibility in both housing style and budget.
Spring is also huge, and that matters.
When people say “Spring,” they can mean very different things. Some areas of Spring overlap closely with The Woodlands, offering similar access, schools, and amenities. Other parts fall within Klein ISD, which is a major draw for many relocating families. You’ll also hear people refer to “Old Spring”, with its more established, traditional neighborhoods, and newer Spring developments that offer modern layouts and community amenities.
That variety is one of Spring’s strengths — but it’s also why choosing the right part of Spring matters far more than choosing Spring in general.
Not all of Spring feels the same.
Some areas feel very established and wooded, with mature trees and long-standing communities. Others feel newer, more master-planned, or more suburban in design. Commute times, school zoning, tax rates, HOA structures, and even the pace of daily life can change significantly depending on where you land within Spring.
This is why two people can both “move to Spring” and have completely different experiences.
The goal isn’t just to move to Spring.
The goal is to land in the right pocket of Spring for your life and your work.

Why so many relocating professionals & families choose Spring
- Reasonable commute access to major employment corridors
- Strong, well-known school districts
- A wide range of price points and housing styles
- Plenty of everyday conveniences — shopping, dining, parks, and community amenities
It’s a place where daily life feels manageable. You can have space, access to amenities, and still feel connected — which is often exactly what people want when they’re moving for work and trying to settle in quickly.
But Spring isn’t one-size-fits-all
Here’s the Part Zillow Can’t Tell You
Spring isn’t a single experience — it’s a collection of very different pockets that can feel worlds apart from one another. Some areas sit closer to The Woodlands and share similar amenities, schools, and commute patterns. Others fall within Klein ISD and offer a more suburban, community-oriented feel. You’ll also find older, established neighborhoods with mature trees alongside newer developments with modern layouts and different HOA structures.
Commute times can vary widely depending on which part of Spring you choose and where you’re working. School zoning, tax rates, and even the day-to-day pace of life can look very different from one neighborhood to the next.
This is why two people can both “move to Spring” and have completely different experiences.
The goal isn’t just to move to Spring.
The goal is to land in the right pocket of Spring for your life and your work.

This is where clarity matters most
If you’re considering Spring 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 Spring 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 Spring)
When someone is relocating to Houston for work and considering Spring, there are three decisions that matter far more than the house itself.
1. Your commute — and which part of Spring you choose
This is the biggest one.
Spring is a very large area, and where you land can completely change your daily routine. Commute times, access to major roadways, and proximity to employment centers vary widely depending on whether you’re closer to The Woodlands, within Klein ISD, or in one of the more established parts of Spring.
Some areas offer quicker access to I-45, the Hardy Toll Road, or The Woodlands business corridor. Others prioritize quieter streets, larger lots, or a more residential feel. 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
Spring offers a wide range of choices — which is both a benefit and a challenge.
You’ll find everything from long-established neighborhoods with mature trees and character, to newer developments with modern layouts and amenities, to pockets that offer more space or acreage. Price points, tax rates, HOA structures, and school zoning can look very different depending on where you focus.
The key question isn’t “What’s the best neighborhood in Spring?”
It’s “What fits your lifestyle and budget right now?”
Once that’s clear, the options become much easier to sort through.
3. Timeline and flexibility
Your timing matters more than most people expect.
If you’re relocating for work and need to move quickly, certain parts of Spring — including homes that are move-in ready or communities with more available inventory — may make more sense. If you have more flexibility, your options widen and your strategy can shift.
This is also where things like resale availability, competition, and overall market conditions come into play.
Understanding your timeline helps us focus on areas of Spring 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 Spring — and have very different experiences.
The difference isn’t luck.
It’s clarity.
Once these three decisions are clear, choosing where to live in Spring becomes much simpler — and far less stressful.
It’s okay if Spring still feels a little broad
Spring 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 Spring 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 Spring 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 Spring.
No pressure. No rushing. Just clarity.
If you’re relocating to Houston for work and you are considering a home purchase in Spring…
If your move is coming up and you’re considering Spring, and you want help from people who do this every week — people who understand how different each part of Spring 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 Spring, 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.
