Five Houston cities among top 10 in Texas to retire
Good news! If you’re living in the Houston area, there are five area cities that ranked among the top 10 in the state of Texas as great places to retire. These were (in order of ranking):
- Katy
- Richmond
- Tomball
- Humble
- Webster
It’s no surprise that Houston itself didn’t crack the top ten (have you seen housing rates and the cost of things lately?). However, there are some good options to stay in the area.
