Houston, Texas is one of the best cities to live and ranked the 4th largest city in the U.S. One of the many advantages of living in Houston is the low cost of living, ranked the best city for job growth, strong economy and there is no state income tax.
I moved here from Philadelphia in 2002 and absolutely love the city. Houston is not just an open range full of horses and cowboys that I thought it was. In fact, Houston is modern and an urban metropolis.

Houston real estate is currently experiencing a resurgence in popularity. While most of America is still wading through the housing slump, real estate in Houston is picking up steam. Sales of single-family homes has been increasing over the past few months and in May 2010 6,659 homes were sold in the greater Houston area. The Houston Association of REALTORS® (HAR) predict that this increasing demand will continue due to strong value for price paid, low foreclosure rates, low interest rates, and good tax incentives offered.
Due to the increasing demand for homes in Houston, one would assume that the prices would go up as well. While the average price for a Houston home is slightly higher than the national average, it has remained relatively steady at around $209,920.
