More Than Just A Vacation - Houston Investment Areas

By Duke Morgan

Houston real estate market has picked up pace in recent times with investment in it looking like an attractive opportunity. The diversity of suburbs around Houston has become the USP of area. People of all tastes and liking can get their dream home here, from artistic to academic-oriented, Houston has it all! There is a huge financial range also for more money minded people, Houston can provide rich and grandeur filled localities right besides more traditional looking homes.

Kingwood

One of the fastest growing suburbs today is Kingwood. It has been planned to perfection by the Friendswood Development firm. Most of the Kingwood residents rave endlessly about the "Greenbelts," a fun-filled activity park for citizens. The economy has taken a major boost after several national retailers moved their business to a Kingwood location. This has further acted as a catalyst in attracting residents.

One draw-back may be the house prices in Kingwood which are a touch above the national average. The suburb also has excellent educational institutions, recognized by Texas Education Agency.

Clear Lake

Clear Lake came into existence because of the burgeoning aerospace industry in the'60s. Clear Lake area regularly pumps millions into Houston's economy; it is recognized as the gateway 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.

Sugarland

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.

Coming to the educational front, the Sugar Land School District has received high ratings from the Texas Education Agency, and last year was named one of the 100 best school districts in America in which to obtain a fine arts education.
