Greatwood, Texas, is like a really buff neighborhood, also known as a master-planned community, located in the Sugar Land area. But the lucky residents who call this little town home know that this is no ordinary suburb, and people are quickly figuring out how great this place really is. In fact, the population here increased by 74 percent between 2000 and 2010, so it's not right to say it's a well kept secret anymore. It's safe to say that the secret is definitely out.

The convenient location is close to Sugar Land, Katy, the Energy Corridor and downtown Houston, so most people who live here have a reasonable 20-to-30-minute commute, is all. The city is filled with great recreational opportunities, friendly residents and a beautiful landscape.

Finding housing here isn't too difficult, but you need to prove that you will be a good neighbor. When you find your perfect place to live, you come prepared to fill out the application. Come equipped with a good job, solid references from your former landlords, and with enough money in your pocket to pay for all the deposits. Most landlords will want first -- and possibly also last -- month's rent, as well as a security deposit. The amount of the security deposit may depend on your credit history and the individual landlords, and if you find a pet friendly apartment, you should expect to pay extra deposits for that privilege, too.
