Ten words that describe the character of Houston:
Friendly, generous, energetic, can-do, open-minded, diverse, exciting, versatile, lush/green, forward-thinking
Houston is a thriving business hub for multi-national companies and offers a diverse population base with a correspondingly wide selection of lifestyle options and locations. The Houston metropolitan area stretches from the inner-Loop 610 area and downtown, north to The Woodlands, east to Kingwood and Atascocita, south to Clear Lake and Galveston, southwest to Sugar Land, and west to Katy.
Each of these areas offers neighborhoods with homes in a variety of prices and styles. The inner-Loop 610 area is a mix of luxury neighborhoods, historic homes, town homes, soaring residential high rise buildings, cutting-edge lofts, and gated patio home enclaves. Downtown Houston offers first class entertainment venues with theater, opera, symphony, ballet, traveling Broadway shows, and restaurants. The Woodlands is one of Houston’s first and most successful master planned communities and offers expansive neighborhoods built around championship golf courses and luxury country clubs. Kingwood is another master planned community with excellent golf and country club availability, and both Kingwood and the Atascocita enjoy proximity to beautiful Lake Houston.
The communities from Clear Lake to Galveston, only 30 to 60 miles from downtown Houston, provide wonderful opportunities for primary or vacation homes on the beach, the bay, along canals or in Galveston's historic districts. Sugar Land, 15 minutes from the famed Galleria, is a stand-alone city with numerous master planned communities and abundant lakes, golf courses and country clubs.
Much of Houston's growth is channeled west of the city, from the Galleria area and its world-class shopping and restaurants, through the secluded incorporated Memorial Villages, out to the suburban city of Katy, about 50 miles away.
