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.

Another sore spot is the weather, which can get swelteringly hot in the summer and includes the typical Texas risks of extreme weather, like tornadoes and even hurricanes.

Things to Do in Sugar Land

Sugar Land also has plenty of activities to keep you busy. Like any other Texas city, they host their fair share of sports events. The local minor league baseball team, the Sugar Land Skeeters, play over at Constellation field, and their games make for a great family outing.

Of course, nearby Houston is a sports fan’s dream, with teams in almost every major league, including the Astros, Rockets, Texans, and Dynamo. There are some great college games to check out too, whether it’s University of Houston football or Rice University baseball.

If you’d like to get a little exercise of your own, check out Sugar Land Memorial Park, Oyster Creek Park, and Eldridge Park. Or if you really want to work up a sweat, try biking or running along the Justin P. Brindley Trail. And if you’ve got a skater in the family, they can practice their tricks at the Sugar Land Skatepark.

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. In March, the Cultural Kite Festival is another can’t-miss family event—and the best part is, it’s free! And in April, the adults will love the annual Sugar Land Wine & Food Affair.

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

Employment and Economy

Like much of Texas, energy is one of Sugar Land’s biggest industries, especially oil, and it’s even the headquarters to the Fortune 500 company CVR Energy. But there are several other thriving industries, including software and engineering. Minute Maid also has its headquarters in Sugar Land, as does the Imperial Sugar Company—which is where Sugar Land gets its name!

The abundance of jobs in the area have given Sugar Land an impressively low unemployment rate, lower than both Houston and the US as a whole.

Tips for Renting in Sugar Land

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!
