Houston, TX apartments for rent

Houston, we do not have a problem, because the fourth largest city in the United States is one of today's most up and coming, with opportunities to the moon and back.

Home to twenty-six Fortune 500 companies, ample job openings, numerous healthcare organizations, beautiful parks and outdoor space, sports teams, and world class dining, Houston has just about everything going for it. With affordable housing and a paycheck that goes far, Houston is all about bang for your buck in your apartment search. Hit the beach by day and get your culture fix by night at the theatre or the opera. Houston is racially and ethnically diverse, and you might hear more than 90 languages spoken in this city. Beyonce was born in Houston – get ready to fall crazy in love with this city and your new apartment.

The Houston economy is broadly based on energy, manufacturing, aeronautics, and transportation, with a growing bio-science sector that has helped it earn the #10 spot on the Forbes job growth list. There are a whopping 24 Fortune 500 companies headquartered in Houston, including Phillips 66, ConocoPhillips, Halliburton, and Sysco (food distributor). In addition to Fortune 500 companies, Houston is also home to the headquarters of Academy Sports + Outdoors, BP, Chevron, Citgo, Fiesta Mart, Men’s Wearhouse, Luby’s, Pennzoil, and Shell Oil Company. Hewlett-Packard maintains a large presence in the area, and the corporate offices of Imperial Sugar and Minute Maid are also located here. Outside of the food, shopping, and oil fields, the employment outlook is all about the emerging technology and bio-science sector. Notable companies include Pi Studios and Playnormous (which design computer games), HostGator (a web-hosting site), Family Tree DNA (genetic testing company), and Archimage, which is doing some serious video game development for the medical research community.
