Also, there is a really good chance you will be in the triangle formed by Sugar Land, I-10 west and the Galleria area if you are in the energy field.
I'm in IT.

The Woodlands vs. Sugar Land
The fur and morning dew on Spandex day is far superior in the Woodlands.

At first glance it seems like SL has closer access to more jobs because of proximity to West Houston and the Energy Corridor but there appears to be a ton of growth in office jobs in the Northern suburbs like TW, Conroe, Spring, etc.
I’ve lived in Sugar Land for about a decade. I originally had to commute all the way to downtown. It crushed my soul, and I will never do it again unless I absolutely have no other options. There are a lot of jobs available in the Westchase area, which will cut your commute in half. I think the Woodlands is really far out there for a downtown commute.
If you are planning to have kids, Sugar Land has some very affordable homes that are zoned to great public schools. As others have said, there is a large Asian (mostly Chinese and Indian) population here. Asians are actually the largest demographic at my kids’ elementary. Most of the parents are first generation immigrants who came to the US for college and stayed. There are some cultural differences, but they are good neighbors and their kids are respectful. A lot of the Indian kids play Little League baseball with my sons and are very good athletes.
If you want a place that is less diverse, that would be the Woodlands. The Woodlands does seem to get more concerts that I am interested in, and I believe the fishing is much better up that way if you are into that.

Obviously a lot easier to get to IAH from The Woodlands. Sugar Land to IAH is usually average traffic using SH Tollway but its 45 long arse miles. I wouldn't dream of going thru Houston to IAH unless it was after 9 pm or pre-dawn. Sugar Land to Hobby is easy though. About the same as The Woodlands to IAH...20 mins.
If you could "Live and Work in The Woodlands" (which used to be their slogan), I would put it up against any place in the country for quality of life.

Sooooo Sugar Land won't be good in football but maybe tennis?
LOL, and Chess. Also soccer, baseball, and band.
The Fort Bend ISD baseball district is still damn good but 10 yrs ago was probably one of the best in the southwest. Tons of travel ball kids.
Football is a joke. Clements high school in SL consistently has five times the interest in band than football.

The dads almost always grew up playing cricket and picked baseball for their sons because the sports are fairly similar. They are rarely the biggest kids out there, but you don’t have to be huge to be good at baseball. The Indian kids are probably 20% of our Little League. Baseball is largely a white sport, and it’s hard to maintain it in an area where white people aren’t a majority. I love that so many of the Indian American kids come out to play.

The Woodlands, and it’s not even comparable.

The Indian population assimilates really well, much more outgoing with well rounded kids They love them some baseball. Asian, while super nice and respectful are much more insular and typically avoid team sports even at the youth level. A LOT of the kids go from school to after school tutoring for 2-3 hours a day.

Have visited the WL quite a bit and lived in SL. I enjoyed living in SL and still go back often. Couldn’t see myself living in the WL only Bc of the commute would be horrible for me. However the Indian/Asian population in SL is absolutely true. There’s a neighborhood called Telfair that is so Indian most off SL calls it “Patelfair.” Thsts no reason to not move there though. SL is quieter, cheaper with less traffic.

There's a difference between assimilating/participating and thriving. You said they were very good athletes it led me to believe that most of the best players in the area were Indian. I thought that was interesting because I was imagining them dominating little league like they do Chess and spelling bees.

Consider your world's experience before you post stupid chit
It was 2013. My son was then 7. It was the gated portion of Sterling Ridge in The Woodlands.
And, it was armed guards at the entrance of the drive way of his 1st grade class and their invitation to the classmate's birthday party. In particular of note was the sushi for the 1st grader's party, albeit Guadalajara state of Mexico family.
I asked what business was the father in. Ice cream and batteries was his answer. The Ferarri in the drive way and the armed guards...suggested otherwise.
While I suspect your worldview is pretty limited, ask others in The Woodlands for this era if there were cartel residents...if you don't believe me.
I am not a fan of BS'ing.

I’d estimate they are about 20% of our Little League. They definitely seem to be more than 20% of the all stars. They interesting thing is that you almost never have an Indian American kid show up who has absolutely no idea how to play. Their parents must work with them some before putting them out there. I admire that the Indian immigrants have moved to a new country, and their childhood sport (cricket) isn’t available, so they just find the closest thing to it in America for their kids. It tells you these are parents who love and understand the value of sports even if they don’t fully understand baseball. They are always out on the field helping, too. They might not know the rules at first, but they know how to throw, field, and bat.

It’s also not the Indian parents asking for stupid shite like not keeping score or randomizing the batting order. That’s the white parents.

How long have you been in TW?
I moved there 1st time 1996 in Falcon Wing
2nd time 2000 in Alden Bridge
3rd time in 2012 in Sterling Ridge
If you did not see the upper class Mexican population entry early 2010's, you must have been too focused on the wife-swapping.

So, do homes in Sugar Land flood? How bad is it?

Well most have six arms so their defense is really good.
I loved living in Sugar Land, but I'd chose the Woodlands if going back. There are plenty of neighborhoods in TW where you'll never have to worry about your home flooding. Sugar Land is so flat, and with much of it protected by levees, that you can never totally be certain.
