The information below will help you realize why moving to Houston could be the best move you’ve ever made.

• Climate – Are you tired of the snowy winters Stamford has to offer? Houston’s winter season is a far cry from heavy coats and snow boots with average high temperatures in the low 60’s and little to no snowfall. Hot summers are surrounded by mild spring and fall temperatures, allowing you more days to spend outdoors working on your garden or the tan you’ve only dreamed about.

• Education – Houston prides itself on an educational system bursting with diversity and opportunity. Seventeen public school districts operate within city including over 100 specialized campuses offering concentrations on the sciences, fine arts, or health professions. Hundreds of private schools are also located throughout the city and provide religious or secular curriculum. Several nationally ranked colleges reside in Houston such as Tier One research institution The University of Houston and the highly competitive Rice University, cited as one of the top twenty colleges in the country.

• Entertainment – As the old adage implies “Everything’s Bigger in Texas” and the same can most certainly be said about the state’s largest and most happening city. Houston is cited as one of the most multicultural cities in the country and with such diversity comes a myriad of entertainment options. Distinct neighborhoods such as Chinatown, Little Mexico and the Ghandi District offer access to a wide range of cultural experiences while the Theater District has the second largest concentration of theater seats in the nation. Also, Houston surprisingly beats out every other city in the U.S. for the most total area of parks and green space with over 56,400 acres to take a run, walk your dog, or toss the ball around for a few hours. Texas’ largest shopping mall, The Galleria, is also located here so picky shoppers beware – Houston’s vast array of shopping options will not fail. Baseball’s Minute Maid Park, basketball’s Toyota Center and football’s Reliant Stadium keep downtown Houston alive and busy during game weekends and provide plenty of action for sports fan all year round. Whatever you love to do, look no further – Houston has it and it’s bigger and better than you’ve ever thought possible!  

• Economy – Home to the tenth largest port in the world, Houston’s economy is a bustling hotbed of activity within the energy, trade, and research fields. Business and education are also major aspects of the local economy, ranked second in the country for number of Fortune 500 company headquarters and over 3 billion dollars annually generated by the University of Houston System. Most recently, Forbes magazine cited Houston as the #1 city for paycheck worth and, more importantly, America’s top city for employment creation. Unlike Stamford where many businesses have been driven out by high rental costs, Houston has seen over 100 foreign-owned companies establish themselves within the city in the last few years. In fact, it’s stated that the local economy has even created two jobs for each one job lost during the economic downturn of 2008. With all this promise and economic growth brings the opportunity to finally find and land the job of your dreams!
