Houston Real Estate
Everything about Houston is BIG! As the largest city in the largest state, and the fourth largest city in the U.S. Houston ideally represents the vast, sprawling expanse that comes to mind when one thinks of the Lone Star State. Approximately 2.25 million residents live within the 600 square miles that constitute Houston's boundaries. Houston is the economic center of the Houston - Sugar Land - Baytown - metropolitan area, and the seat of Harris County, the sixth largest metropolitan region in the country, with a population of more than five-and-one-half million. As mentioned, everything about Houston is big. The Port of Houston is one of the most important ports in the world in terms of overall tonnage handled, and the city is second only to New York as home to the headquarters of Fortune 500 corporations.

In fact, Forbes Magazine has named Houston as one of the best places in the nation for business and careers. Additionally, Houston's vast abundance of land allows for stable prices and continued new construction without a commensurate rise in costs.
