## Verdict
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.

Pros: Memorial HS feeder at SBISD prices (a $250-400k discount to Bunker Hill/Hunters Creek Village proper for the same diploma); $650k buys 4/3 at 2,600-2,900 sqft — meets the spec exactly; 18-22 min to Energy Corridor, 12-15 to Memorial Park.
Cons: Attendance-zone discipline is mandatory — adjacent streets feed Spring Woods HS (TEA C, very different outcome). You must verify zoning per-address.; 1960s-80s housing stock: many homes need updating; budget $20-50k post-close; Some Spring Branch Creek tributaries cut through the zone — check FEMA on every property.
