Something for Everyone
Life in the Houston Area
Set in southeast Texas, not far from the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, the Houston area has something for everyone. Here, the winter temps are mild, the sports fans are wild, and the city at the center of it all is alive with activity. Over 145 languages are spoken in Houston, and this cultural diversity inspires a culinary, art, and entertainment scene throughout the greater Houston area that’s one of a kind. Close to your new home in Houston, you’ll find over 11,000 restaurants in the Houston Metro area, along with bustling shopping centers, popular music and performing arts venues, and nearly 200 golf courses within a 50-mile radius of downtown. And when it comes to sports, you’ll have your pick of pro, college, or high school teams to cheer on.
The Houston, TX area is home to a variety of industries, most prominently health care, manufacturing, oil and gas, and tech—and enjoys an overall cost of living that’s lower than most metro areas in the U.S., which means your paycheck will stretch quite a bit further when you consider a new home in Houston.
Ready to make the move to the Houston, Texas Area? Take a look online to discover the new homes and new model homes that are being built by home builder Shea in Conroe, Hockley, League City, Magnolia, Manvel, Missouri City, and Montgomery.

WHAT'S HAPPENING AT SHEA
Frequently Asked Questions: Living in the Houston Area
Why are homebuyers choosing the Houston Area for new construction?
Texas has no state income tax, and the Houston area has more going for it than that alone. The cost of living sits below most comparable metros, and the economy runs deep across energy, healthcare, aerospace, and technology. Buyers coming from higher-cost markets tend to find they get significantly more home here without trading away career options. That combination keeps drawing people in.
What makes the Houston Area attractive to homebuyers?
The Houston area pairs affordability with real employer depth and a wide range of places to live. Buyers get a major international city with professional sports, a strong dining and arts scene, and the Gulf Coast close by, without paying the premium the coastal metros ask for. For career-focused buyers especially, the numbers tend to land in their favor.
What types of new construction homes does Shea Homes® offer in the Houston Area?
Shea Homes® builds single-family detached homes across the Houston area, in seven different parts of the metro. North of the city that includes Evergreen™ in Conroe, Wildtree™ in Montgomery, and Woodhavyn in Magnolia. To the south and southwest are Sienna® in Missouri City and Meridiana and Del Bello Lakes® in Manvel. Legacy in League City sits near the Clear Lake waterfront, and The Grand Prairie is in Hockley to the northwest. Floorplans run from roughly 1,500 square feet to more than 4,800, with homesites in several width series depending on the community. Every Shea home includes SheaConnect®. For buyers 55 and better, Trilogy® Evergreen™ in Conroe is an age-qualified community within the Evergreen master plan.
What outdoor recreation is available in the Houston Area?
Outdoor life in the Houston area depends on which direction you go. Up north near Conroe, Montgomery, and Magnolia, Lake Conroe anchors boating and fishing and Sam Houston National Forest adds hiking and trails. Toward the coast, League City and the Clear Lake area put you on the water, with Galveston Island beaches a short drive south. Closer in, many of Shea’s communities are built around their own parks, trails, and green space, so a lot of the recreation is right outside the door.
What attractions are located in the Houston Area?
Houston proper has a wide slate of cultural destinations: the Museum District, home to the Museum of Fine Arts and the Houston Museum of Natural Science, along with the Houston Zoo and a performing arts scene anchored by Jones Hall and the Hobby Center. Sports fans have year-round options with the Astros, Texans, Rockets, and Dynamo. The San Jacinto Monument and Battleship Texas are within easy reach for anyone drawn to the area’s history.
What amenities do communities in the Houston Area offer?
Amenities vary by community, but most of Shea’s Houston-area master plans are built around a central amenity space. Evergreen in Conroe has The Arbor, with a pool and splashpad, pickleball courts, a playground, and a clubhouse, plus more than 100 acres of parks, trails, and green space. Sienna in Missouri City centers on the Sawmill Lake Club, and Meridiana in Manvel has its Amenity Village with pools, a fitness center, and a café. Across the communities, trails and green space are a common thread, and every Shea home includes SheaConnect®, Shea’s integrated smart home technology.
What are the major employers in the Houston Area?
Houston has one of the broadest employer bases of any metro in the country. Energy anchors it, but healthcare, aerospace, and technology have all grown alongside. The Texas Medical Center is the largest medical complex in the world. NASA’s Johnson Space Center near Clear Lake and the port and logistics operations along the Ship Channel round out a wide-ranging economy. North of the city, The Woodlands adds major corporate campuses, including ExxonMobil.
What should buyers know about purchasing a new construction home in the Houston Area?
Houston’s new construction home market covers a large footprint, so narrowing down by commute corridor and lifestyle priorities before you tour saves a lot of time. Shea builds across seven areas of the metro, from Conroe in the north to League City near the coast, so there is usually a community that fits a given commute or price range. Shea Houston was named Builder of the Year 2024 by the Greater Houston Builders Association.
