Houston is the fourth largest city in the nation and offers a warm, sunny climate year-round. Economically and ethnically diverse, Houston abounds with employment opportunities, housing options, and entertainment choices. While Houston has long been recognized as the "Energy Capital of the World", it is the energy of its diverse population, vibrant business climate and quality of life that make it unique. It is an international city. It is a leader in the arts, education and health care. It is a city that continues to take the best of its past and build on the future.
Affordable
The cost of living in Houston is among the lowest of all urban settings in the United States. Houston has the lowest cost of living and least expensive housing among twenty-nine metropolitan areas with populations of more than 1.7 million in the U.S. (ACCRA Cost of Living Index, third quarter 2002).
The twenty-two Fortune 500 companies, which call Houston home, provide a sound economic base for the city. A prized asset is the Texas Medical Center - the largest medical center in the world. With its plentiful oil and gas companies, Houston is considered by many to be "Energy Capital of the World". NASA's Johnson Space Center and its surrounding contractors are the reason Houston is called Space City.
The international flavor of Houston is apparent through art, music, food, and shops. Houston is home to more than 100 different nationalities, supported by consular offices representing seventy-seven nations, and more than sixty languages can be heard throughout the city. Festivals, such as the Houston International Festival, pay tribute to virtually every culture in the Houston area.
Houston is world-renowned for its rich culture that offers arts, entertainment, and dining. It is among only a handful of cities that supports professional companies in ballet, opera, theatre, and the symphony. The city's Theater District is home to eight performing arts groups with more than 12,000 seats - placing it second only to New York City. In the Museum District you can experience nationally ranked Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH), Children's Museum of Houston, Contemporary Arts Museum (CAM), Museum of Health and Medical Sciences, and Museum of Natural Science, as well as many galleries and other cultural institutions.If you are a sports enthusiast, Houston has something for everyone and every season. Cheer for your favorite professional team - the National Baseball League Houston Astros, National Football League Houston Texans, Houston Comets, Houston Rockets, or American Hockey League Houston Aeros - from a comfortable seat in one of three state-of-the-art stadiums. Golf year-round, sail on Galveston Bay, take a stroll down Kemah's Boardwalk, jog on miles of trails, swim or just lie on a beach.
For those with families, Houston provides educational opportunities that include distinguished public and private schools. Twenty-three public school districts lie entirely or partly within Harris County, and the seven surrounding counties contain another thirty-eight districts. Houston's youth are encouraged to take part in after-school and summer programs (some right on the UH campus), and to visit the Houston Public Library for reading enrichment. Nationally acclaimed colleges and universities are of interest to local residents and international students including - University of Houston, Rice University, Houston Baptist University, Houston Community College, University of St. Thomas and many others.
Houston and its surrounding areas offer affordable real estate in a variety of master-planned communities, wooded neighborhoods, and historic enclaves.
