Client Testimonials

Between buying and selling, we’ve now worked with five realtors (and five more on the other sides of the transactions), and by a large margin you two are the most professional and the best of the bunch—you’re everything a great realtor should be. We wish we’d had you involved in all our transactions! – Matt

Paul and Delana are problem-solvers. I found them to be efficient, detail-oriented and quality minded. In my professional and personal life I have dealt with many real estate agents and I feel compelled to state that I have never worked with a team like Paul and Delana Bice. – Korsh

TWO PRIME LOCATIONS IN THE HOUSTON AREA

The Greater Houston area is one of the most important parts of both Texas and the United States. It is a vast urban area composed of many different cities centered around Houston, one of Texas’s cultural and economic centers. While it is known for its shops and restaurants, there is so much that makes the Greater Houston area a desirable location to live.

Residents of this metropolitan area benefit from a powerful economy, gorgeous nearby natural sites, and cultural institutions. Some communities across the Houston area are more uniquely situated to take advantage of all this massive region has to offer. Let’s look at two of the region’s cities in prime locations that offer residents appealing lifestyle benefits.

CONROE

Conroe is a pleasant, bustling city with much to explore. It has a quieter feel than the heart of the city but is still an easy 40-minute drive to Houston’s busy downtown. Its scenic settings and vibrant culture are prominent reasons why it is one of Texas’s best places to live and is a rapidly growing city.

Conroe borders three major outdoor attractions, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Conroe is on the coast of Lake Conroe, an expansive lake with public access points for swimming and boating. It is also near Sam Houston National Forest and W. Goodrich Jones

State Forest. These are two popular hiking and outdoor exploration destinations with picturesque trails and incredible native wildlife.

In addition to its natural sites, Conroe is a cultural hotspot in its own right, with plenty of entertainment venues, live music hubs, and busy commercial areas. Conroe’s downtown is a historic area with brick-covered main streets lined with antique stores, cafes, and dining destinations. Despite being a relatively big city with around 95,000 residents, it has a community-driven appeal with town festivals and events.

20
Lake Conroe

HOUSTON

Naturally, any list exploring communities in the Houston area in prime locations would be incomplete without including Houston. Houston is one of the country’s biggest and most dynamic cities, home to around 2.3 million people within the city limits. Houston is famed as a center of innovation, a cultural destination, and an economic powerhouse. Residents of this city benefit from all these unique aspects that make it a premier place to live.

Houston has an excellent culture defined by its world-class museums, shops, and restaurants. The Galleria is the city’s commercial center and the biggest mall in Texas. This upscale shopping and dining area houses high-end brands, delicious restaurants ranging from steakhouses to South American cuisine, and 400 different stores

and services. Houston’s famous museums, including the Houston Museum of Natural Science and the Houston Space Center, celebrate its status as an innovator and scientific center.

Houston is considered one of the top food cities in the country, with a food scene that blends many influences. Houston is a top place in the U.S. for Vietnamese food, and it also has excellent Cajun-style dishes, classic Tex-Mex, and barbecue cuisine. The city’s economy gives residents access to a world-class job market with huge energy, aerospace, and biotechnology sectors. Even with all these lifestyle benefits, the cost of living in Houston is modest compared to other major urban centers nationwide.

A Look At The Top Golf Courses In The Houston Area

What to Know About Golf in Houston

The Greater Houston metropolitan area stretches over 10,000 square miles across nine counties. With a size comparable to that of some U.S. states, this vast collection of urban environments is one of the major centers of Texas. With its warm weather, scenic bodies of water, and passion for sports, Greater Houston is an ideal setting for golf enthusiasts.

The Houston area has golf courses that have hosted PGA and LPGA Tour events, historic destinations designed by world-renowned golf architects, and exclusive country clubs with immaculatelylandscaped settings. More than 80 top-notch public and private courses are available for Houston residents across the metropolitan area.

With so much to choose from, it can be difficult to pinpoint the best destinations to enjoy high-level golfing in Greater Houston. That’s why we’ve got you covered with a look at the top golf courses in the Houston area.

The Top Golf Courses in the Houston Area

Cypresswood Golf Club: Cypresswood is a public golf club in Houston that offers 36 holes of championship golf spread across two elite courses: the Tradition Course and the Cypress Course. These highly-rated courses are lined with tall pines and hardwoods, and each presents unique challenges. Cypress is known for its rolling fairways, while Tradition has difficult sand traps.

Golf Club of Houston: Golf Club of Houston is a semi-private golf club with two 18-hole courses. The Member Course is private, while the Tournament Course, designed by Reese Jones and tour professional David Toms, is open to the public. The Tournament Course was the home of the Houston Open PGA Tour event from 2003-2019, and professionals love its perfectly groomed fairways and difficult bunkers.

Memorial Park Golf Course: This is a municipal course owned by Houston, meaning it is available to the public. A gorgeous course with excellent landscaping and fair prices, Memorial Park Golf Course attracts 60,000 people every year, so crowds can be a problem.

It was designed by Donald Ross in 1924 before being upgraded by Rees Jones in the 1990s. The course has challenging water traps and some lengthy holes that will have golfers using every club in their bag.

The Club at Carlton Woods: This ritzy country club provides two high-end golf courses designed by world-famous architects. The Tom Fazio Championship Course, which was opened in 2005, is a hilly course with difficult slopes and challenging terrain that will be an adjustment for many golfers.

Pleasant Neighborhoods & Suburbs in the Houston Area for Settling Down

Houston is a massive city that stretches approximately 600 square miles, making it one of the ten biggest cities in the U.S. by area, according to the World Population Review in 2023. It is a vast metropolis with busy streets, famous for its powerful economy and world-class commercial destinations. Finding the right place to have a home in such a large city can be challenging.

Luckily, Houston is composed of diverse neighborhoods, each offering distinct features, from scenic trails to a busy nightlife. Let’s look at some neighborhoods in and around Houston that are ideal places to settle down.

Memorial is a neighborhood that stands out as a perfect option for families. Highly-rated schools and a safe, suburban vibe contribute to this neighborhood’s appeal. Memorial has tree-lined residential streets and large public parks, including Terry Hershey Park, that are filled with children and outdoor enthusiasts on the weekends. It also includes a significant stretch of the Energy Corridor, making it a convenient place to live for employees in this industry.

This pleasant community also has public parks and trails for running and hiking.

His leadership qualities have further influenced his team of agents, who uphold their collective practices and standards when working alongside clients and partners alike.

get to know PATRICK BURBRIDGE

Founding CitiQuest Properties during the 2008 housing market crisis was a bold move for Patrick Burbridge. But his resiliency against the turbulent economy and ability to come out the other side even more strongly positioned than when he started is a testament to his commitment, integrity, teamwork, and inspiration (CITI). Patrick has since added unparalleled value to Houston’s new construction development projects and the broader real estate market while generating over $1 billion in transactions.

Patrick’s mother is Mexican, and his father is from the U.S. He spent his early years in Queretaro, Mexico, moved to Houston as a teenager, and attended the University of Houston. After earning his bachelor’s degree in business administration with a focus on marketing and finance, he launched his career in development, construction, land acquisition, and sales. By the time Patrick founded CitiQuest Properties, he had conceived a unique vision of the industry that enabled him to carve out a worthy niche within a sprawling metropolis.

TESTIMONIALS

“Tim is truly exceptional. He is by far the best Realtor I have ever met. He is very disciplined in his approach and delivers results. Most Realtors put a sign in the yard, list the home on MLS and hope for the best. Tim really does have a strong value proposition - one that delivers results.”

“If I were to design a Realtor, I would fall short of the one we found in Tim Merritt. From the start, he so clearly wanted to find the perfect house for us and to create a stress-free experience. He was successful! He spent tons of time working with me and my husband, communicated often and well, and was such a pleasure to be around. Tim Merritt is truly the best.”

“Being new to the Houston area, my wife and I relied heavily on Tim Merritt’s knowledge of the residential market and we were not disappointed. His professional manor and excellent communication skills quickly put our minds at ease during the shopping process. We will recommend Tim to anyone looking to buy or sell a house, and we wouldn’t hesitate to use him again!”

“Tim was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! From helping us stage our home to sell, to the final line we signed to buy our new house, Tim was with us every step of the way! No matter where Tim was, he would stop what he was doing to answer our calls and texts from our never-ending questions. He made our home selling/buying experience so smooth and easy! I have already, and will continue to do so, recommend Tim to our friends for all their needs. He was a true pleasure to work with! “

Why Texas Country Living Might be the Ideal Lifestyle for You

What is Texas Country Living?

Texas is a vast state, stretching for thousands of miles, larger than France and many other countries around the world. While many choose to live in Texas’s busy metropolises, where high-rise buildings and crowded commercial centers await, others prefer to spend their time experiencing the Texas countryside lifestyle.

Texas country living involves living in the rural areas away from the big cities, where Texas’s large, open landscapes feel never-ending. Many prefer to experience Texas’s rugged beauty on a ranch or in a home surrounded by nature, rather than live within a crowded urban center.

The Texas Hill Country is one part of the state that caters to this lifestyle. The Texas Hill Country embodies the Texas country lifestyle appeal with small towns that include local ma and pa shops, expansive ranches, friendly locals, and nearby natural beauty.

Why This Lifestyle Stands Out

So, what makes the Texas country lifestyle something that people seek out? For starters, the natural beauty of Texas is unparalleled, and you can’t experience it the same way living in the city. Those who choose the Texas

country lifestyle can wake up every day and be completely surrounded by the state’s natural beauty. Without light pollution, they can look up at night and see every star in the Texas sky.

Living away from the city also means residents can find more affordable and spacious properties. While Texas’s major cities have lower costs of living than in many other states, living in Austin, Dallas, or Houston can still be expensive. In the Texas countryside, you can find sprawling private properties with large homes that cost the same amount as a condominium or townhouse in the city.

The culture of the Texas country lifestyle is also a big draw. Delicious food, friendly locals, and tight-knit communities are significant reasons why many prefer this style of living.

In agricultural Texas towns, residents can find fresh local produce, delicious barbecue spots, and small businesses run by friendly neighbors. It is a way of living that stands out to outdoorsy, community-oriented people.

Texas Country Living Near Houston

For those who want to experience the best of both worlds, embracing the Texas country lifestyle in a community near Houston provides dual benefits. You can spend your days soaking up the serene beauty of the area surrounding Houston, which is ripe with forests, lakes, and unique natural environments. Then, if you want to spend a day or evening in the city or need something specific only found in a massive international metropolis such as Houston, the big city is only a short drive away.

Plenty of small cities near Houston, including Huntsville, Tomball, and Navasota, have outskirts lined with homes that typify the Texas countryside lifestyle appeal. These pleasant communities have busy main town areas, but their outer edges are lined with farms and ranches, ideal for those who want to immerse themselves in the state’s rugged outdoor settings. This lifestyle isn’t for everyone, as some prefer bigcity living, but for many, it is the best way to experience the Lone Star State.
