Relocating
to Sugar Land, Texas
I can’t tell you how much I love living in Sugar Land and, if
you're in the process of relocating to Sugar Land, Texas,
I know you’re going to love it too! There are so many
benefits to living in the Houston area, and Sugar Land is
one of its top suburbs. Why do I think moving to Sugar Land is
great?...
Growth
Having grown more than 158 percent in the last ten years, Sugar
Land is one of the state’s fastest-growing cities. It is
also Fort Bend County’s largest city and its economic
center, not to mention the Houston area’s second-largest in
economic activities.
Quality Homes and Communities
Sugar
Land is home to the largest number of
master-planned communities in the nation. Every community
has quality homes and wonderful neighborhoods with swaths of
green space and community amenities. For neighborhood
details go to
Sugar
Land Neighborhoods.
Well Maintained and Scenic Public Spaces
Because it is entirely master planned, Sugar Land has ample well
designed public spaces, parks, trail systems and roadways,
all of which are held to high scenic standards. Consistently
winning awards from Keep Texas Beautiful and the Texas
Recreation and Parks Society, Sugar Land also received the
inaugural Texas Scenic City “Silver” Certification for
achieving the highest level of scenic standards for public
roadways and spaces.
Low Crime Rate
For years now, Sugar Land has been consistently ranked among the
top 20 safest cities in its size category in America by
FBI crime statistics.
Culturally Diverse
While about half of the population is white, the remaining 50
percent is comprised of Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern,
Hispanic and African American cultures. And just as
important as its diverse demographics, is its fostering of
an inclusive and accepting community. In fact, in 2007,
Sugar Land was the first city in the nation to be named a
Community of Respect® by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
It has maintained this distinction ever since.
High Quality of Life
With all of these accolades it’s no wonder that Sugar Land has been
on the list of numerous best places to live surveys. Some of
the most noteworthy include
CNN Money Magazines 100 Best Place to Live in the
nation, Forbes’ list of Top Towns to Live Well and Business
Week’s best and most affordable suburbs. America's Promise–The Alliance for Youth name Sugar Land a three-time winner
of the nation’s 100 Best Communities for Young People.
