When people ask us “Why do we live in Spring Texas?“, we usually respond with “How much time to do you have?“ So to help people understand why we choose to live here, we came up with a list of our favorite reasons to call Spring Texas “Home”.

“TOP 20 Reasons to Live in Spring Texas”

20. The Weather – In the last seven years, it has only snowed twice and then it was gone the same day. We still own winter coats, but only need them a couple of weeks out of the year. What are the average temperatures for Spring Texas?

19. Location to other major Metropolitan areas – A 3.5 hour drive gets us to San Antonio, Dallas, or Austin for a long weekend, a short vacation, or just a change of scenery.

17. Professional Sports Teams– Take your pick because we have them all in Houston. Whether it be the Astros Baseball team, the Rockets Basketball team, the Texans Football team, or the Dynamo Soccer team. A 35 – 50 minute drive will have you at the entrance to any of their stadiums.

16. Rodeo – Houston is home to the largest Rodeo in the world. If your idea of Texas is cowboys, cowgirls, hats, boots, and big belt buckles, then you will definitely want to attend the Houston Rodeo.
