Sugar Land, TX Reviews

Whatever - 10/9/2017
Trust me, Houston and its crime has caught up with Sugar Land in the past 10 years. I've been here for over 25 years, and when we came here there was hardly any mention of crime. Now, they try to hide it to keep up that image of years ago. House break-ins, armed robbery on Hwy 6, etc. If you're looking for that safe suburb of years ago, keep Read More

Perfect Place For A Budding Scientist (years ago) - 3/2/2017
I'd like to start by saying I hope that some of the situations in some of the other posts are isolated incidents. Also, I am qualifying this post with: I haven't been a student at Clements for almost 20 years.

I think I can safely assume the school is as competitive now as it was then and maybe even more so. As a freshman, I saw 7 seniors clutch MIT acceptance letters. My own class had numerous students going to schools like Stanford, MIT, Wash U (St. Louis), U Chicago, Rice U, UC Berkeley, Cornell, etc. etc. UT Austin (currently ranked 56 this year, 2017, in US News) was the undergraduate university for over 100 Clements High graduates each year.

At the time, and hopefully also true today, most teachers were warm and generally helpful in teaching but also strict and a bit demanding when it came to grades. Obviously, AP classes in Clements are difficult. Homework and extracurriculars take up time and so students need to have good study skills and time Read More

Growing City with High Quality of Life - 12/5/2012

Best place to live and raise family - 9/13/2012
I am not sure why anyone who has lived in Sugar Land would have
anything bad to say. I have been here since 1986. It is close to Houston, but even with all its growth, still has that hometown feel. I raised four children here as a single mom. Wonderful schools, lots of friends, and the most welcoming church ever. The police are great and work hard to keep crime low. You can access the freeway in 10 minutes, from just about any area of Houston. I would also urge you to look at the real statistics...people who have lived here and have given the true test of time. And take your kids to a baseball game at the new Sugar Land Skeeters stadium. They will love it. We all get use the the weather here, just like those who live in the northern states get used to cold and icy weather. It's a marvelous place, and you get out of it what you put into Read More

Sugar Land is a very nice suburb city in a booming - 6/21/2010
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 Read More

Not A Good City - 1/18/2010
For anyone considering moving to Sugar Land, TX, visist here several times watch the news here and get reports on crime from police department. Sugar Land has high crime, alot of foreigners, alot of traffic, really not that friendly, the homes are cheap because they are built cheap, the HOAs suck, you have no land, you pay for every service, if you go into the stores everything is in both english and spanish so get use to feel like you're living in mexico. Overall it isn't that safe of a city and not a good place to raise a family, I have lived all over the country and this is the worst city and state I have lived Read More

Not As Safe As Has Been Stated - 1/15/2010
Moved here with my wife and son because of a job opportunity and now regretting it bigtime. Sugar Land is part of the Houston metro and the entire area just plain sucks. There are way too many people, the traffic is some of the worse I have ever seen, there are too many people from different countries which makes you feel like you're not even living in America at times. One of the biggest reasons not to move here besides the illegal mexicans, is because of the amount of crime here. Everyday it is on the news stations, in the paper, you hear the police sirens, Houston ( and the metro area in general) does not have a particular "bad" section, it is ALL over. If you are planning on moving here, seriously rethink it and consider other places first. They try to hype the area hee as safe and family oriented but it is Read More

Atmosphere of the past in Todays world - 7/14/2009
In my opinion almost all circumstances and experiences depend on one's lifestyle, habits, interests. My family and I, live a simple but happy and tranquil life. Texas is a wonderful place and Sugar Land tops it all! The people are friendly, and well mannered. Peaceful and calm like what we hear life used to be in the 50s, yet modern and recent in view. It is like the past in todays Read More
