Having built itself up as an economic powerhouse thanks to (you guessed it) the refinement and sale of sugar, Sugar Land has become one of the most affluent and desirable suburbs in the Houston region. Although the mighty Imperial Sugar factory has been shuttered since 2003, the local economy is stronger than ever, the public schools are exceptional, and the crime rate is among the lowest in Texas. On top of that, it’s an ideal community for folks with active lifestyles, with the governor’s office having recognized Sugar Land as the fittest city in the state numerous times in recent years.

Sugar Land residents enjoy a mostly quiet suburban atmosphere, filled with large homes and attractive apartment complexes. A thriving shopping and dining district at the center of town revolves around the swanky Sugar Land Town Square, and the landscape is filled with big, beautiful parks and lakes. One of the signature local institutions is the Sugar Land Wine and Food Affair in the spring, which attracts folks from across the Houston area.
