Let me say, Welcome to Houston if you are planning to re-locate here.

Houston’s a friendly city, with lots of diversity. It is the 4th largest metro in the nation, with a vibrant oil-based economy and medical center that are the heart of Hous-ton’s jobs.

<< These are the main highways around Houston. Beltway 8 is a Tollway. Airports are identified.

If you notice, Beltway 8 and 610 Loop are laid out as squares. They intersect with other major highways like I-10 (< west to San Antonio and east > to Beaumont), Highway 59 (going North to Kingwood and South to Victoria), I-45 (north to Dallas and south to Galveston), and Highway 290 going North West to Austin. Highway 288 goes South past Highway 6, past Angleton to Clute and Freeport, Texas where the Gulf of Mexico lies.

This is an old map of Houston from 1954 com-missioned by Chevron. A piece of history, if you will, this is one of the earliest maps of Houston as one District. >>>

Further beyond (a 1 hour plus drive north of Houston) is Lake Jackson, where people go to speed boat, fish and have picnics. Houston always has something to do, so there’s no dearth of activity.

Houston has developed fast, and because of this, suburbs have become cities. Sugar Land, Missouri City, Pearland, Cypress, Katy, Friendswood (area), Richmond, are getting to become noted cities or (in between transition to cities) that house families who work and trade (do business) in Houston.

Baytown to the far east >>> (right middle of the map) has Oil industries and refineries.

A view of Downtown from Highway 288 and 59 area.

Downtown houses offices to major companies, historical buildings, government of-fices. There is lots to see and experience in Downtown, Houston.

Within the 610 loop, that runs as a square is the hub of activ-ity, from the Medical Center found a the lower Middle cen-ter of this map. Downtown is where it says Houston.

The color coded areas within the 610 loop mention the dif-ferent neighborhoods. These are some of the priciest zip codes in Houston. Rice has historical buildings and the famous Rice University.

If you look carefully you can see black lines on this map dividing the various counties in Houston.

With development picking up fast pace, we have Harris, Fort Bend, Brazoria, Montgomery, Galveston, Liberty, Waller, Austin, San Jacinto and Chambers Counties.

Parts of Pearland city, for example is shared by Fortbend and Brazoria counties.

I work mainly in the Fort Bend, Brazoria and Harris counties.

This map marks the counties clearly in and around the city of Houston. Re-locating to Houston

There are several places of worship for every faith. From churches, mosques, Hindu temples, Buddhist temples, the places of worship are many.

Lakewood church is at the heart of Houston which also sees many visitors every weekend.(Lakewood church is marked +)
