Hi sweet friend,
If you are a frequent visitor, you know I love to write from the heart and share everything you need to know about moving to and buying a home in Spring, Texas. But if you are a new visitor to the website and blog, hello hello. My name is Jordan Schilleci. I am a local Realtor® and active real estate agent (I am actually a broker now, woot woot) who loves helping families, couples, and individuals relocate to Spring, Texas. I also own a lovely boutique brokerage called Jo & Co. (my nickname as a baby was JoJo.), and I am so excited to meet you.

Today, I am answering a simple question: if I am moving to Spring, Texas, and my budget is $450,000, where should I look at homes? (AKA, where is the best neighborhood if I have $450,000 to spend in Spring, Texas?)
So it is important to know how large Spring, Texas is…
If you have never been to Spring, let me break it down for you… Spring is a very large city, and I like to break it down into…
- Old Town Spring + 77373 (Spring ISD) | Old Town Spring is one of my favorite areas to explore, but that is the only spot it ranks for me personally. I guess one could really divide Spring up into areas by school districts, and Old Town Spring can be defined not just by its school district, which is Spring ISD, but also by its zip code, which is 77373. Spring ISD has recently (and historically) been ranked a D on the A-F rating scale established by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to rate schools and districts.
- Klein, Texas (Klein ISD) | Now, stick around, and you will know I love Klein, Texas. I was actually born in the area, and it is where I currently call home. Klein, Texas, falls within more than one zip code, but the main zip code is 77379, and we can define Klein by its school district, Klein ISD. But Klein ISD can be found not just in Spring, but also in a large part of Tomball, and a bit in Houston. The portions of Klein ISD in Spring and Tomball are going to be the highest-ranking schools, and very nice areas with exceptional affordability.
- The Woodlands (a master-planned community and a Township) | If you have been doing your north Houston research, I am sure you have come across The Woodlands a time or two. It was a master-planned community founded by George Mitchell 50 years ago, and it is currently under development by the Howard Hughes Corporation. It is the blue ribbon of master-planned communities and one of the most desirable areas in all of Houston. If you are looking for amenities, walkability, the best schools in Spring, Texas, and always having something to do, The Woodlands might be the place for you to plant your roots. It's important to note that Conroe ISD mainly serves the Woodlands, but Tomball ISD and Magnolia ISD are on its borders.
- New Spring / Rayford Road + Conroe ISD | Lastly, there is an area that different people might call by other names. Rayford Road originally accessed it, but when Grand Parkway 99 divided it in half, it took on a whole new life. For the sake of simplicity, I am going to call this area New Spring. Here you will find the established neighborhood and area of Imperial Oaks north of Grand Parkway 99. On the south side, you see the established neighborhood of Spring Trails and Benders Landing (plus Benders Landing Estates), as well as the newer neighborhood (but fully built out), Harmony. The latest neighborhood in this stretch is Woodson's Reserve, which is still under construction in its latest section. Many of these neighborhoods have on-site schools, including the newest high school in Conroe ISD.
Now, if I have $450,000 to buy a home in Spring, these are the choices I would make…
If I wanted to be close to The Woodlands, but not in The Woodlands, and my budget was under $450k, I would consider Auburn Lakes, Augusta Pines, and Northampton...
In Northampton, you will find large lots, an established neighborhood, older homes, beautiful community, neighborhood amenities, golf, low tax rates, and walkability to the elementary schools and high school.

In Auburn Lakes, you will find newer homes, nice amenities, and highly rated schools.
In Augusta Pines, you will find excellent schools, a golf course, newer homes, great amenities, and a lovely community.
Deep Dive…
All three neighborhoods sit along the Woodlands–Spring border near Kuykendahl, Gosling, and FM 2920. They offer mature trees, golf-course living, excellent access to Grand Parkway 99, and quick drives into The Woodlands amenities — but each has a very different feel.

If I wanted to buy a home in Conroe ISD, but Spring, Texas, and my budget was under $450k, I would consider the neighborhoods of Imperial Oaks, Spring Trails, and Falls at Imperial Oaks.

Residents enjoy access to multiple swimming pools, including a lap pool and a more traditional leisure pool.

If I were looking to find a home in Spring or Klein and my budget was under $450k, I would…

Easiest Way to Find the Right Suburb of City For You
Please know that scheduling a call with me is the easiest way to determine which city or suburb is best for you. Helping you figure out the best city or suburb is one of my favorite things to do. I pride myself on many things, but this would be the best first step. From there, I can help you figure out your budget. If you are financing your purchase, I can recommend a fantastic lender. Next, we want to take a look at your timeline, and then the fun begins: we will start house-hunting. Once you have narrowed it down to one or two homes, we start the offer writing process, which is another place I shine. Over the last 10 years, I have established a good reputation with listing agents, and I love this communication process. Once you are under contract on a home, I will navigate you to the closing table, starting with a reputable home inspection recommendation. With Jo & Co. by your side, this whole process will be guided and as seamless as possible.
I cannot wait to get started. Hugs, Jo & Edward.
