What works

Best-of-best SBISD pipeline (Bunker Hill ES GS 10)
Closest to Riya’s parents (likely already in Memorial)
Best commute

What to watch

Budget gets you a teardown lot or a busy-road property — not a livable 4/3 at 2,600 sqft
Functionally outside our budget for an actual home

Compare Memorial Villages — Hedwig Village / Bunker Hill outer blocks against the rest of the short list.

Pick 1

Spring Branch (Memorial HS feeder, north of I-10)

The single best fit for the report. You get the Memorial HS diploma, you stay west of 610, you’re 18 min from Energy Corridor, you’re close to Riya’s parents, and you fit your budget without a stretch. The only work is attendance-zone and floodplain discipline — non-negotiable, but doable.

Pick 2

Cinco Ranch (Katy ISD)

The ‘more house, longer commute, harder schools’ option. Best value on square footage. Loses on commute (David is over budget), loses on proximity to Riya’s parents, and the HS culture is closer to pressure-cooker than Memorial HS. A real option only if a Memorial-zoned house can’t be found.

Pick 3

Energy Corridor / Nottingham Forest (SBISD west)

If you find a Wilchester/Rummel-Creek-zoned home on a high-ground street with no Harvey history, this beats Top Zone #1 on commute by 10 min/day. That’s 80 hours/yr back to David. But the per-address discipline is the highest of any zone — one mistake here and you’re in a $200k repair situation.

Pick 5

Cypress (Cy-Fair ISD) — Bridgeland / Cypress Ranch HS feeder

Real option only if David’s role shifts to majority-WFH. As stated (5 days/wk Energy Corridor), this commute breaks the report.
