Close options include A-rated KEITH EL about 0.5 miles away, A-rated SWENKE EL around 0.6 miles, and A-rated SALYARDS MIDDLE roughly 0.7 miles from the neighborhood.

What is the cost of living in The Glen?

Cost-of-living indices like the BEA Regional Price Parity (where 100 equals the U.S. average) were not provided for The Glen, so I can’t quantify whether overall prices, housing, goods, or utilities run above or below the national average using that benchmark. What we can speak to clearly is housing costs and property taxes in this Stagecoach-area portion of Harris County. With a typical home value around $409,400 in the 77433 area, budgeting often centers on mortgage or rent plus property taxes, and median gross rent locally is about $1,960 per month. On the tax side, the city property tax rate is $0.3492 per $100 of valuation and the county property tax rate is $0.3810 per $100. Combined, that’s an estimated $0.7302 per $100 before any school district or special district rates, which were not provided here and can materially change the total tax bill. One cost advantage to keep in mind is that Texas has no state income tax, so many households weigh higher property taxes against that statewide tax structure when comparing affordability.
