Moving from NJ to TX (Houston), What zip codes would you recommend to avoid and why?

Question

My family seeks to move from NJ to TX in a few months. Can anyone suggest good areas that we should look into and areas we should avoid? Less than a 30-minute commute to Downtown would be ideal. Thanks in advance!

We're looking for small multi-family (2-4 units) residences in the 300k to 400k range or single-family residences 100k to 250k range. School districts are not our priority, but it is a bonus point to consider. Since we'd most likely find ourselves working in the downtown area, we'd like to make our daily commute as short as possible- 30 mins or less would be ideal, but we can settle for an hour. Thank again!
