Tour the Best Sugar Land Neighborhoods!
Your Tour Guide: Sheila Cox, Realtor
Not only is Sugar Land my business, it’s where I live and work. This website (and my helpful guides) are a collection of words, photos, and videos that I personally created. I know the area because I’ve lived, worked, and explored it for years.
You can drive through the best Sugar Land neighborhoods with my videos…located on my YouTube channel. These are videos of me driving around the neighborhoods…not just a slideshow of photos. You can see the pools, parks, tennis courts, and what the homes look like from the outside.
But the best Sugar Land tour is the one that I will do for you when you hire me as your Realtor! To get started, send me the details of the type of home you are looking for and I will set up the Best Home Search for you. Or better yet…give me a call at 832-779-2890 so we can talk about the best neighborhoods for you.

Sugar Land vs Katy
Many people moving to the Houston area are told that two of the best places to live are Katy vs. Sugar Land.

How to Buy a Great Home in Sugar Land TX
There are two things you are buying when you buy a house:
- The Location/neighborhood
- The House
Location – Neighborhood
My website is here to help you narrow down your location by giving you the most detailed information available (in one place!) on the best neighborhoods in Sugar Land. However, there are some things that only a really good, boots-on-the-ground, real estate agent knows. Like which sections of which neighborhoods flooded during Harvey. And which areas are known to have potential foundation trouble. And which areas may soon have a major roadway built in their back yard, or where the fault lines are located in the area. (Yes, there are fault lines in our area.)
So you can start off with a general idea of the neighborhoods that you like, but when I take you on tour as your real estate agent, I will explain the PROs and CONs of each area to you. That way you (hopefully) won’t find out about detrimental things about the area after it’s too late! (I learned this the hard way. Ask me about my experiences with landfills and mushroom farms!)
House
Then, when you find a house that you want to purchase, the first thing I do is a detailed Comparable Price Analysis (CMA) to determine the actual market value for the home. This is to help you get the best price for a home…and not pay too much! The list price on a home may or may not reflect the actual market value of the home…what it will appraise for with your lender.
Then, if we go under contract on the home, I do an in-depth analysis on that specific house to collect all the relevant data on that house and put it into one 18+ page House Report so that you have all the details saved for current and future reference. But more importantly, this is when I double-check for possible hidden defects of a home like:
- Sex offenders…is there one living on the same street?
- Flood zones…is this house high and dry?
- Environmental hazards…is the house close to anything significant?
We’ve all heard that “two heads are better than one.” When you and I work together, we can get you a great home in Sugar Land TX!

How’s the Sugar Land Real Estate Market?
People are always asking me, “How’s the market?” My answer? It depends. It depends on your neighborhood, your lot, your square footage, and your price range. Prices are constantly changing and you can’t just go off a “price per square foot” number because the price per square foot will vary within the same exact neighborhood…depending on the size, condition, and quality of the specific home.
I have recently put together some detailed market information…
