Real Estate in Houston, Texas
Home to everything from large multi-bedroom family homes to condos and townhouses fit for singles, you will find something for your real estate needs when relocating to Houston, Texas. Contact a real estate agent in Houston to discuss available residential properties. Houston realtors will assist you by providing valuable information about specific neighborhoods and communities. Wherever you choose to call home, Houston provides you with welcoming communities and available, affordable housing. Renters are welcome, too. Check with local realtors for listings on apartments and studios. Here is some information on Houston real estate and the city itself to get you started.

History:
In the aftermath of the War of 1812, various Caribbean buccaneers, notably Jean Lafitte, established short-lived settlements on Galveston Island, just south of present-day Houston. By the 1820s, settlers from the United States were moving into Texas, then owned by the newly independent nation of Mexico. By the 1830s, the former Americans, calling themselves “Texicans,” were eager to form their own government and felt abused by dictates from Mexico City. Houston was incorporated in 1837. The capital remained there until 1839, when the town of Austin became Texas's permanent seat of government. As a settlement, Houston grew slowly but steadily in the mid-19th century. By 1870, with 9,000 citizens, it was the third largest city in Texas behind San Antonio and Galveston. After World War II, the petrochemical industry and Houston grew even more rapidly, but Houston remained a large city with a small-town flavor. A third major development changed that small-town flavor in 1961, when the National Aeronautics and Space Administration chose Houston as the site of its new Manned Spacecraft Center. Suddenly, the quiet little city was home to oil tycoons and glamorous astronauts, world-famous surgeons, and a professional baseball team called the Astros. By the mid-1980s, Houston was the headquarters for 8 of the 10 largest energy companies.

Economy:
Energy has been the primary factor in the Houston economy since oil was first discovered in the region in 1901. Houston is home to major U.S. energy firms in every segment, including exploration, production, oil field service and supply, and development. About 3,600 energy-related companies lie within the Houston area, including 600 exploration and production firms and 170 pipeline companies. Given the existence of these firms, and the technically trained and experienced work force, Houston no doubt will remain the center of the energy industry in the United States. Houston is also a world leader in the chemical industry, with nearly 40 percent of the nation's capacity for producing the basic chemicals that are used by downstream chemical operations. The Houston-Baytown-Huntsville area is home to 405 chemical plants employing roughly 36,000 people. With an extensive infrastructure that includes the world's most elaborate pipeline network, Houston is a key production center for derivatives and specialty chemicals. Nearly every major chemical company operates a plant near Houston, including BASF AG, Bayer Corp., Chevron Phillips Chemical Co., E. I. du Pont de Nemours Co., ExxonMobil Chemical Co., and Shell Chemical LP. Financial services are a key component to Houston's economy. Situated near the center of a twenty-county coastal prairie agricultural region, Houston is a major international agribusiness center emphasizing the marketing, processing, packaging, and distribution of agricultural commodities. The city also has a strong presence in computer software, electronics, engineering, and nanotechnology.

Tourism:
NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston is where astronauts are trained. Space Center Houston is the official visitors' center. It has several fun attractions, like Space Center Theater, Blast off Theater, Feel of Space and more. Next, the Houston Museum of Natural Science is another exciting place to explore. It is a very interesting place where you will learn more about the world around us – and have fun while doing it. For family fun, the Children's Museum of Houston is within walking distance of the Houston Museum of Natural Science, making it is easy to spend a entire day and visiting both museums. The Children's Museum has some very interesting, interactive exhibits for kids. The Houston Zoo is another wonderful place to bring children and adults alike. There you can interact with animals from around the world. With more than 4,000 animals, the Houston Zoo is home apes and monkeys, lions, tigers, giraffes, elephants, bears, birds, snakes and much more. Last, but not least, Splashtown Waterpark offers a variety of pools, slides and raft rides for you to enjoy during a sunny Houston day.
