Pearland Houston
 Pearland's promotional motto is "Come for a Visit, and Stay
for a Lifetime." Pearland is one of the fastest growing
suburbs in Houston, because of it’s close proximity to
Houston and it offers the shortest commute of all Houston’s
suburbs. Between the 1990 and 2000 census its population
increased more than 200 percent, from 19,000 to 41,000.
The area, adjacent to Highway 288 on the south side of
Beltway 8, is still largely undeveloped, but offers a
15-minute commute into Houston.
Residents refer to Pearland as the area "where town and
country meet," which is a fitting description. This suburb
offers seven local parks and other outdoor venues, such as
swimming pools, golf courses and soccer fields, but is also
rapidly growing and adding new commercial property. As the
popularity of Pearland continues to grow, it is likely that
most of the undeveloped land along Highway 288 will be used
as increased recreational space or retail opportunities for
the area.
Pearland is an appealing option for many new Houston
residents. In addition to having the shortest commute of
most major Houston suburbs, this region is arguably the
quickest growing outlying region of America's fourth-largest
city. The cost of living is around the national average,
with prices typically beginning at $250,000.
