Look in Jefferson Terrace. There should be some options in your price range and it's close to the mall.

I'm doing it for a job that pays very well for three years and relocating after. I lived there in college and understand that there will be traffic everywhere.

Don't live in St. Gabriel.
There are many decent neighborhoods around Bluebonnet. You will just have to understand that you will be fighting traffic every day no matter what.

Shenandoah ain't bad for your price.

Magnolia Woods has plenty of houses in your price range. 10-15 minutes to MoL area (can be longer with traffic). Mid-centuryish houses on big lots.

I second the Westminster suggestion. When we lived in BR, we almost bought there. I really like the location.

Anything bad with that Spanish Lakes Subdivision off Nicholson extension?

If you aren't going to live in Gaslite II, North of Florida Blvd is your next best bet.

It's ok, but it's in St. Gabriel, which means dealing with that speed trap every day. Also, their schools are crap. It gives you none of the advantages of being in EBR or AP. You get the retard cops, property crime, and shitty schools of EBR combined with the distance, traffic, and comie cutter subdivisions with chem plant views of AP.
There are some decent food options out that way though:
Old Saint Gabriel Store, Roberto's, and Big Jake's are all solid.

I see that lol. Im looking near Bluebonnet primarily, but it may look like I need to fork out a extra 20k.

I found it cheaper to buy and sell.
Doubt it for only 3 years of ownership.
Closing costs to buy
Insurance/taxes/repairs 3 years
Real Estate commission to sell 6% = 13,200

If you have school age kids, definitely either fork up the money or look in AP.
If you don't, are you married or single?

Rent for us would be at least $1,500 per month. We were considering to buy, renting it out, and selling way down the line. I figured to buy rather then throw money away for three years and invest in properties.

The properties you will want to buy will not make good rentals most likely. A lot of "nice homes" won't cash flow well. In Br at least
That 1500 rent? Means the house should cost roughly 150k or less to make sense to own as a rental.

Married with new born so school would be out the question.
