Aside from being ranked according to Niche.com with a good school district, I love the parks! The city has really invested in making Sugar Land green. Lots of trails and parks even for the fur babies! I love the diversity, the shopping! You don't have to go into the city for entertainment, they have their own convention center as well as Town Center!
