Pearland is one of the best suburbs to grow up in. The sense of a tight knit community is always there and the level of hospitality goes beyond measure. Pearland is also an up and coming suburb with a population of over 100,000 and rising!
The quality of education is amazing and the high schools are both top ranking with one of the highest graduation rates in the Houston area. When it comes to safety, quality education, and friendliness Pearland is the first place that comes to mind. I could not have asked for a better place to call home.

Pearland possesses all of the suburban charm while remaining accessible all delights of the big city, as well as major educational institutions. My first few years living here were filled with acquainting myself to this small town, learning which local restaurants were best, and of course adjusting to the rural-like setting about Pearland.

After nearly a decade, much has changed. Pearland's population has swelled beyond capacity, traffic has consumed the small suburban roads, and commercial-driven expansion has literally torn away the rural charm from Pearland. While great strides are being made to ratify this, it is simply not enough. I fear this once charming suburb has become a victim of its own overzealous attempts to merge big city life with a town twinkled with the patina of southern-bred simplicity.
I've lived in Pearland for the past 2 years. I really loved that it's quiet and everything is convienent such as grocery, jobs, hair salons and library. The city parks also provide health and wellness if you are looking to loose weight! They have so many great schools and tutoring services close to home. The city is maintained really good, there is not to many homes that are not taken care of. They also have a big interest in your four legged family member. They have dog parks, and some of the apartment homes have dog spas to assist with grooming your pet. Overall Their could be some changes like traffic control but since the population has grown over the years traffic has become a part of life.
