One Houston-area city took the top slot on a new list of "the 100 Best Places to Live in 2025." The list — from relocation marketing platform Livability.com — put Sugar Land at No. 3 for its appealing size and affordability.
Across the eight main categories, Sugar Land ranked the highest for its health (89), housing and cost of living (88), and economy (85). The report said it's a "business-friendly" city, bolstered by its residents' entrepreneurial spirit when it comes to biotech, manufacturing, and the oil and gas industries.
Livability also praises Sugar Land's lively art scene, safe neighborhoods, school districts, recreational activities, and more.
"For families, there are many places to explore, including the Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land, which features a unique saltwater aquarium, and the Fort Bend Children’s Discovery Center with various interactive and engaging exhibits," the profile says.
