More Than Just A Vacation - Houston Investment Areas

By Duke Morgan

The Houston real estate market is up and booming as never before. The most attractive feature of Houston property market is that the city includes dozens of neighborhoods that range from intellectual to artistic to casual to college-centric. We have localities which boast of large, expensive homes, whereas areas that offer more traditional homes also which suit the family style living.

Kingwood

Kingwood was planned by the Friendswood Development firm and the fruits of the brilliant work done are apparent today as Kingwood surges to become one of the fastest developing suburbs of Houston. The "Greenbelts" is a leisure park in Kingwood which is quite popular amongst the citizens of Kingwood. A lot of national retailers have opened their outlets in Kingston to cash in on the booming market. This has further increased the inflow of residents to Kingwood.

Kingston can be classified as a rather upscale locality with the house prices above the national average. The educational facilities are also top notch with every school recognized by Texas Education Agency.

Clear Lake

Clear Lake's development was accelerated by the fast developing aerospace industry of'60's. Even today it is one of the major revenue drivers of Houston. It has also gained popularity due to the proximity to the activity-rich Kemah Boardwalk and Galveston Bay areas.

Kemah Boardwalk is the paradise for leisure seeking city dwellers. It has the typical array of games from skee ball to knocking over milk jugs with softballs. It is a highly popular destination on warm-weather days. Apart from this the boardwalk also features numerous shopping outlets and ravishing eateries.

Clear Lake is also famous for its educational competency; the Clear Creek Independent School District has been honored as a "Recognized" school district for six consecutive years.

Sugar Land

Initially named because of being the home base of Imperial Sugar, Sugar Land is now the fastest growing of Texas' 45 largest cities. In an exclusive feature CNN/Money pointed out that more than 2,300 restaurants are within a 30-mile radius of Sugar Land, as well as 80 theatrical troupes and 50 public libraries. Sugar Land offers eight outdoor parks. As the city continues to grow and expand from its current base of almost 70,000 residents, there is sure to be an increase in outdoor activity space, a trademark of most Space City suburbs.

Sugarland education system also has strong foundation and in a recent survey it was named one of the 100 best school districts in America in which to obtain a fine arts education. - 23204
