Relocating to Houston Texas

Houston is the 4th largest city in the nation, we offer huge opportunities through our diverse culture & attractions. You could literally spend a few years here and still not experience everything Houston has to offer. From our amazing museums and theaters to family-friendly destinations, you’ll find what you’re looking for. Houston is a major corporate center & home to 18 Fortune 500 companies. With tremendous opportunities, culture, art, entertainment & low cost of living, Houston is a place you’ll want to call home!

Why relocating to Houston is a no brainer:

• Houston is the hub of the Oil & Energy industry! Enough said!
• Other booming industries in our city include Biotechnology, Information Technology, Healthcare and Hospitality.
• Houston is home to some of the best healthcare facilities in the nation, including The Texas Medical Center, the largest medical facility in the world. TMC houses 54 medical institutions, including 21 hospitals and four medical schools. TMC performs more heart surgeries than anywhere else on earth. Also in Houston is the world-renowned University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, a comprehensive cancer facility that treats more than 100,000 patients per year.
• Aside from oil and gas, Houston may be best known for a famous line from the film Apollo 13, “Houston, we have a problem.” That’s because Houston has been the home of National Aeronautic and Space Administration’s (NASA) Mission Control for over half a century.
• With a median salary of more than $66,000, Houston is one of the highest paying cities in the nation. You’ll also get more bang for your buck in Houston, making it more appealing than some Northern California cities, which have high paying job opportunities but a higher cost of living. The median home price in Houston is currently just over 300,000.
• Houston hosts six major league sports teams: the Astros, the Texans, the Rockets, the Dynamo, the Dash and the Scrap Yard Dawgs. The city also has three premier arenas — Minute Maid Park, the Toyota Center and NRG Stadium — that attract musicians, comedians and entertainers from around the world. Houston also has a world-class restaurant scene. The New York Times even called Houston “one of the country’s most exciting places to eat.”
• In most cities, residents have to choose between two energy companies if they’re lucky enough to have any choice at all. Not so in Houston. Thanks to the states laws on energy regulation, Houston residents can choose between a handful of energy companies. Not only does this allow for competitive rates and added incentives, but Houstonians can select the best energy company to suit their specific needs.
• From the Holocaust Museum to the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, Bayou City is home to many world-class museums and cultural landmarks. Houston’s Museum District is comprised of 19 institutions within a very walkable 1.5 mile radius, including the Houston Museum of Natural Science, the Rothko Chapel, the Children’s Museum of Houston, the Lawndale Art Center and the Menil Collection. Houston residents will always have an enlightening activity for a Saturday afternoon and a place to take visiting guests of all ages.
• Despite being one of the largest urban areas in the nation, Houston has an abundance of green space. The city is home to more than 50,000 acres of parkland, more than any other major American city.
• Houston recently passed New York City as the most racially and culturally diverse city in the United States. According to census data, roughly 400,000 foreign-born residents moved to Houston between 2000 and 2010. Houston’s anglo population is at around 40%. The city has nearly as many Latinos as it does Anglos, and there is a growing Asian population. Not only does this provide for a diversity of thought and experience, but it gives Houston a remarkable range of ethnic cuisines. The city is well known for it’s Vietnamese Cuisine, but it also has delicious Mexican food and it’s proximity to Louisiana makes it one of the best places to get Cajun food in Texas.
