<p>Just &nbsp;a &nbsp;short &nbsp;drive &nbsp;from &nbsp;the &nbsp;city &nbsp;of &nbsp;Houston &nbsp;lies &nbsp;Pasadena, &nbsp;California's &nbsp;Texas &nbsp;namesake. &nbsp; &nbsp;This &nbsp;Harris &nbsp;County &nbsp;gem &nbsp;has &nbsp;the benefit of major highways and an interstate to help keep it connected to the rest of the state. &nbsp;Comparable towns neighbor Pasadena, providing optimal real estate conditions for types of buyers. &nbsp;Colleges and universities, such as the University of Houston, are all within reach.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Pasadena began as a farming town in the late 1800s and flourished from there. &nbsp;In 1900, there was a terrible hurricane and the Red Cross &nbsp;brought &nbsp;in &nbsp;new &nbsp;strawberry &nbsp;plants to &nbsp;re-establish agricultural &nbsp;production and bring money back to &nbsp;the &nbsp;area. &nbsp;The strawberries did so well that the town became famous for the crop. &nbsp;To this day, Pasadena is celebrated for this. &nbsp;Not far away are shipping, aeronautic and oil hubs that provide for endless job opportunities. &nbsp;Companies like Citgo and Shell have their headquarters here. Businesses and services are easily accessible to residents of Pasadena, though the development of a beltway that extends around Houston.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The &nbsp;area &nbsp;around &nbsp;Pasadena &nbsp;is &nbsp;full &nbsp;of &nbsp;history. &nbsp; &nbsp;Most &nbsp;of &nbsp;the towns &nbsp;were &nbsp;pioneered &nbsp;and &nbsp;occupied &nbsp;by &nbsp;Native &nbsp;Americans &nbsp;years before &nbsp;any &nbsp;European &nbsp;immigrants &nbsp;came &nbsp;around. &nbsp; &nbsp;Once &nbsp;it &nbsp;was &nbsp;discovered &nbsp;that this &nbsp;vicinity &nbsp;is &nbsp;rich &nbsp;in &nbsp;natural &nbsp;resources &nbsp;and farmland, people began flocking to establish settlements. &nbsp;When the railroad came about, it only made sense that Houston was an ideal location to operate from. &nbsp;With the bay right on the edge of things, ships are able to bring in goods, which are then transported via train. &nbsp;Produce from local farms are also delivered around the country by railroad.&nbsp;</p>
