Living in Sugar Land, TX

There’s lots to like about Sugar Land. For starters, the city is very family-friendly and has some great public schools. With its rapid growth, Sugar Land may not quite classify as a “small” city anymore, but it’s certainly manageable.

Speaking of the pros of living in Sugar Land, TX, Houston is also just a short commute away, which means you have all the amenities of one of the country’s biggest cities at your fingertips, from entertainment to sports to shopping. In fact, Niche.com named Sugar Land the #4 best suburb of Houston for 2017.

Of course, no city is perfect, and there are some cons to living in Sugar Land too. The city’s rapid expansion has caused a sharp uptick in traffic, but there still aren’t many options for public transportation.

All of that moving will surely work up an appetite. For that, there’s Cajun cuisine at The Rouxpour Restaurant & Bar, Tex-Mex at Pappasito’s Cantina, or pizza and waffles at the local favorite, Jupiter Pizza and Waffle Company.

And the adults won’t want to miss World of Beer, where you’ll find over 560 brews from around the world. Though if you want to do some cooking at home, the Farmers Market at Imperial has everything you need at great prices.

The First Colony Mall and Sugar Land Town Square will handle the rest of your shopping needs in the city, including everything from clothing to specialty shops. There’s even a cinema in the mall!

For a little culture and history, make sure to stop by the Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land and enjoy all of the interesting exhibits.

But that’s just Sugar Land! With Houston next door, the shopping, dining, and entertainment possibilities are pretty much endless.

Tips for renting in Sugar Land, TX

Does Sugar Land sound like the place for you? Before you start packing, let’s take a quick look at some of the local tenant laws.

For the Houston metro, landlords are required to provide a safe and livable environment for their tenants, which includes working hot water and heating.

If repairs are needed and the landlord fails to make them within a reasonable amount of time of being informed, you have the right to terminate the lease or even sue. As long as you don’t have any past due rent, simply give your landlord notice that you plan to sue or end the lease and they’ll have just seven days to fix the problem—or face the consequences.

Of course, all rental agreements are slightly different, so make sure to look over your lease before signing!
