Sugar Land is a very nice suburb city in a booming

I can't say much bad about Sugar Land aside from the summer heat (which is everywhere in Texas, even the much-lauded Austin). It's very convenient to everything, and most of the public schools are great. Lots of master-planned communities, which are nice for families. This year, Fort Bend county was named as the "#1 place to get ahead" because of its job opportunities and growing population and income levels. Sugar Land is the largest city in Fort Bend. The unincorporated areas just outside of Sugar Land that have Richmond addresses are very nice as well.
As far as all of the conspiracy theory comments below on the city not reporting all of the crime or trying to hide it -- just NOT true. Sugar Land is MUCH safer than most of the rest of the Houston metro. Do you honestly think they could hide this from the FBI? If little ol' Sugar Land could hide it, then I guess the much more powerful NYC and Los Angeles could be doing it too. Heck, then Austin is probably doing it too, among other negatives they are keeping hidden to attract more transfers.
