A tranquil enclave amid Houston’s southwest suburbs

Suburb Commuter Upscale Diverse Safe Low Crime Family Friendly

Fresno is a rapidly-growing suburban community located about twenty miles south of Downtown Houston. The landscape is almost entirely made up of residential neighborhoods, including many upscale subdivisions full of swanky homes. With its low crime rate and a rental market primarily made up of single-family houses, Fresno is a popular choice among Houston-area commuters, particularly those raising families.

In addition to the close proximity to Houston, residents of Fresno enjoy close access to a huge selection of amenities without going far from home: the abundant retail centers in nearby Pearland and Sugar Land provide convenient destinations for shopping, dining, and entertainment, and Brazos Bend State Park to the southwest is a great venue for spending quality time outdoors.
