Nestled between Sugar Land and Missouri City, Stafford’s quiet presence and close proximity to amenities makes it a popular community to call home. It’s also a hop, skip, and a jump from Houston.
Originally built on agriculture, Stafford business includes everything from commercial, manufacturing, service, and more. Area residents enjoy the sports facilities at Stafford City Park, and strolling lush rose gardens at Margaret Havens Memorial Garden next to the town hall.
Just like their apartments, the convenience of First Colony Mall and Southwest Freeway restaurants are appreciated by the locals. When you live here, you’re just minutes from the Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land and 12 miles from Rice University.
