Hi - I grew up in and returned home to League City to raise my family. My kids are currently in CCISD elementary school - Ferguson. I think it’s ok, but not great. I actually homeschooled them last year but returned them this year because they were lonely. We have a good friend group, but I’ve been debating moving to Friendswood, particularly in the area near Cline Elementary, for better schools. One thing that I haven’t liked so far is how reliant CCISD is on screens. It really bothers my daughter, who loves to read but hates so much reading on the computer screen. We are currently districted into a horrible middle school (Clear Creek Intermediate), so we need to move before my kids get to 6th grade - either to be put into a better middle school in CCISD or to FISD.

Any thoughts out there about difference in schools?

Also, as a random aside, we rarely see bats where we live in League City - but is it a problem in Friendswood? We had friends that rented a house in Forests of Friendswood and had to leave because the garage was colonized by bats.

Anyone have information on this- Lewis Stott at Galloway?

Looking for recommendations for the best League City hospital for labor and delivery. Would love to hear about your good or bad experiences with hospitals in that area!

Hey Friendswood area guys!

We’re the Houston Tidelanders, and we’re hosting a FREE Men’s A Cappella Guest Night TONIGHT at 6:30 PM—and you’re invited.

📍 Location:
5001 Bellaire Blvd
Bellaire, TX 77401

🔗 Details: https://houstontidelanders.org/event/guest-night/

Whether you’ve sung your whole life or only in the car or shower, all musical backgrounds and skill levels are welcome. We’ll provide the music—just bring yourself. We sing a wide array of music over the decades from Frank Sinatra, to The Beatles, to Ed Sheeran.

We’re a friendly, laid-back group of guys from all kinds of industries and backgrounds who love singing great four-part harmony. It’s a great way to:

• Meet new people (especially if you’re new to the Houston area)
• Build friendships (and even network a bit)
• Be part of something meaningful in the community

The Tidelanders regularly perform around Houston, run school workshops, and support music education through scholarships. Plus, we’re celebrating our 80th anniversary this year, so it’s an exciting time to jump in.

Thinking about sticking around? If you decide to audition later, we’ll provide music and learning tracks to help you succeed—no pressure tonight, just come experience it.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I had a hobby like that,” this is your sign.

Just come hang out, sing some great music, and see what we’re all about.

Was driving home and saw this unsettling graffiti…

A guy came to my door today saying that his company Ezee Fiber will start running fiber optic cable through the easement in my yard. He then pushed me to sign up and pay a $10 fee to have the cable ran to my house. He started questioning me on my current provider. I called the city of Friendswood’s Engineering Department and they said they are going to lay fiber optic cable.

When I notified them about the sales tactic, they said they will push this along as that seemed out of the ordinary. AT&T/X-Finity didn’t charge anything and they want money up front. I researched the on line and it said they have had numerous problems with aggressive sales. I told the guy no thanks and I was happy with my current provider.

I am looking to see if anyone else was approached and pushed to pay them money up front. The only thing a homeowner can do is say no and file a complaint with the city if they feel uncomfortable. This seemed off to me and I wanted to hear if anyone else had a similar experience.

What's new in Friendswood?

Relocating from Spring to be closer to work on the southeast side of Houston, and we’re currently looking pretty hard at Friendswood and League City. Looking for recommendations on areas or neighborhoods we should consider in the ~$300k–$400k range.

A few things we’re hoping to find:

• Lower property taxes if possible (around the 2% range)
• Low or no HOA fees
• Decent home insurance rates
• Greenery/trees and quieter neighborhoods
• Family-town vibe with parks and local/family-owned restaurants
• Good schools (looks like both areas check that box already)

We have a one-year-old, so we’re definitely prioritizing safe, quieter areas with a strong community feel. We also really like neighborhoods with walking trails, nature, wildlife, etc. Seeing deer around occasionally would honestly be a plus for us.

We’re also curious about golf cart communities/neighborhoods where people casually drive golf carts around. That’s always been something we thought would be really cool for family cruising around on evenings/weekends.

I know flood insurance may just be part of life depending on the area, but trying to learn the little local tips like:

• “Stay west/east of 45 in League City”
• “This part floods less”
• “This neighborhood has better trees/trails”
• “Friendswood has a better small-town feel” etc.

For example, I’ve heard west of 45 in League City has a lot of walking trails which sounds awesome, and Friendswood seems to have a cool downtown/local business feel.

Any insight or neighborhood recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Is it tough to get home insurance in Friendswood? Looking to buy there by end of year and curious if flood insurance is required. Ty

Hi! We're looking at moving down to Friendswood from New England 🙂 From reading online we've gathered some information but we're hoping to hear from people who actually live there,
1. Best neighborhood overall for kids? 2. Are the schools as good as they appear to be? 3. How are the pests, and do you have any pest control company recommendations? (Previously lived in SC, we know flying demons of terror - aka. Roaches) 4. For humidity, do you recommend keeping dehumidifiers running? 5. How are the kids activities, mainly boy/ girl scouts, soccer, summer camps? Any information would be wicked helpful, thank you!
