The Courier of Montgomery County reports that moving consultant moveBuddha says that cities in Texas, including Conroe, and other Texas cities included in their list, spotlights the 20 suburbs that are the fastest growing in the U.S.
The company’s definition of “suburbs” are “non-principal” towns in a metro area with less than 100,000 populations. moveBuddha qualified suburbs as containing a large number of single-family owned homes, with less housing density and certain commuting patterns.
Fifty-two percent of Americans have the view that they are living in the suburbs, according to HUD’s American Housing Survey. If one identifies suburbs through the age of their housing and the population density, 80 percent do reside in these types of cities.
Coming in at the No. 10 spot, MoveBuddha calls Conroe a “lakeside retreat” that’s 40 miles from Houston.
Seen as “relatively low,” home prices for the area show an average of $325,469.
The suburb list shows Georgetown scoring in the number 1 bracket; second place went to Kyle; third place to Leander; fourth place to Little Elm; New Braunfels scored number six; Burleson came in at nine; Temple at 18 and Rockwall was number 20.
The most suburbs on the Lone Star State’s metropolitan places on the list were the Austin-Round Rock area.
