The Woodlands and Kingwood are two planned communities that are very popular with airline employees, and both are convenient to the airport. Kingwood is NE of the airport, and the Woodlands is just off your left as you make the turn at LYYTE on the RIICE arrival into IAH. (Look for the one tall building next to the mall) Both are supposed to have good schools, and seem like a nice place to raise a family.
I live in the Woodlands and love it, and I don't even have a family. The mall and the market street development is very nice, and it's all very convenient. I'd suggest coming up here to have a look. Home prices here can be higher, but just south of the Woodlands is Spring with many subdivisions that seem reasonable. This is suburbia and the nightlife doesn't compare to downtown, but it's very livable.
