Location, schools and scenery attract Houston locals and transplants
Sugar Land, named for the wealth of sugar cane plants in the area, has since transformed into a residential, shopping and employment hub just outside of Houston. For buyers looking in the Sugar Land neighborhood of Riverbend, they can easily access the city’s many malls and acclaimed medical centers. The neighborhood itself encompasses the Riverbend North and South subdivisions as well as the neighboring developments of Plantation Bend, Plantation Colony and Magnolia Plantation. Together, these developments include local parks, highly rated public schools and houses of worship that includes Hindu temples, mosques and churches. All these features have made Riverbend a favorite place for both long-time Houston natives and out-of-state transplants to settle down.

Riverbend homes run along greenery and waterways
In Riverbend, brick-lined ranch homes are built alongside four-bedroom Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival-inspired properties. These houses are on well-organized streets dotted with native palmetto palms and live oaks, and individual residences usually have large front yards and spacious backyards with outdoor patios and pools. It’s common to find a 3,000-square-foot property priced between $300,000 to $500,000. While residents usually invest in flood insurance in case of hurricane or tropical storm damage, the area does not have as much frequent flooding as Houston. “In Houston, they just have bayous, unlike here with levies and pump stations that can reroute the flow. That’s the difference between Houston and Sugar Land,” says Patty Newton, a Realtor with Re/Max Fine Properties who has lived in the Houston area since 1982. “All of us have added flood insurance, but it’s much less expensive here than in other parts of Houston.”

Fort Bend Schools attract new residents
Riverbend is zoned within the Fort Bend Independent School District, and the highly rated local schools are one of the factors that attract families to the area. “People move here to have their kids moved to specific schools,” Newton says. “During the pandemic, we saw a huge influx of people from other states, and one thing they told us is they moved here for good schools.” Children may attend Highlands Elementary School and Dulles Middle School, which have an A and A-minus score on Niche, respectively. Dulles High School earns an A-plus on Niche for its specialized Math and Science Academy program. University of Houston at Sugar Land is about 6 miles from the Riverbend area for students who want to attend college close to home.
