About Houston:

Houston is the fourth largest city in the United States and a hub for the energy, aerospace, healthcare, and engineering industries. The Greater Houston area encompasses nearly 600 square miles. Houston is a diverse and international city, in part because of its many academic institutions and strong industries. It is the most ethnically diverse city in the US with more than 90 languages spoken here. Houston is also among the youngest populations in the nation and offers a wide array of dining, entertainment, and cultural opportunities. However, despite its size and diversity, Houston offers a small-town atmosphere in its many neighborhoods and suburbs. Located 30 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico and 30 minutes from the Piney Woods, Houston is ideally located in Southeast Texas to capture the fancy of just about anyone with outdoor interests.
