I am in Fort Bend County for the 2nd time and I simply love it. The neighborhood I live in is mostly filled with homeowners that are mainly retired. There are some homes have children of all ages....this helps to keep the neighborhood diverse of ages also there is no predominate culture .....

Although there have been some crimes around here before, I'm still aware of the fact that crimes can happen anywhere at any time so I still feel pretty safe around here and therefore I would not mind living here again if I could do it all again
