<h1 style="text-align: center;">Richmond, <em>Houston</em></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"></h1>
<p style="text-align: left;">The town of Richmond in Texas is merely 30 miles from Houston. &nbsp;Richmond is considered apart of Houston's metro area and it has a population of just under 12,000, giving it an intimate vibe. &nbsp;In the mid-1800s, Richmond came about when it was adopted by the Republic of Texas. &nbsp;In the latter part of the same century, there was a fight amongst the higher powers of the area, &nbsp;but things were later resolved and the town went on to produce key players in Texas' history.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">There are so &nbsp;many things &nbsp;to &nbsp;do around Richmond, residents &nbsp;never find themselves without &nbsp;an &nbsp;activity in &nbsp;their spare &nbsp;time. Enriching historical experiences can be had at ornate churches and the Morton Cemetery. &nbsp;Museums are everywhere, like the Fort Bend Museum, which teaches citizens about the roots of their society. &nbsp;The George Memorial Library is a great place to get in out of the heat and get lost in a book. &nbsp;Parks are one of the biggest source of entertainment in Richmond. &nbsp;While they all have something different to offer, the common bond of beautiful views, well-manicured walking trails and fresh air make them all a great choice for spending an afternoon with family.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Those &nbsp;who &nbsp;need &nbsp;to &nbsp;commute &nbsp;for &nbsp;work &nbsp;or &nbsp;school &nbsp;are &nbsp;convenienced &nbsp;by William &nbsp;P. &nbsp;Hobby &nbsp;airport &nbsp;and major, &nbsp;local thoroughfares. &nbsp; Due to &nbsp;bustling industry &nbsp;in &nbsp;the &nbsp;area, jobs are in &nbsp;full &nbsp;abundance. &nbsp; &nbsp;NASA &nbsp;and &nbsp;top oil companies &nbsp;are among those that have set up shop here. &nbsp;Several big name universities call Houston home, which means Richmond residents do not have to travel far to better their lives.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Houses for sale in Richmond average in the mid-$300s. &nbsp;While Richmond real estate may be a bit higher than it is in other areas, spacious, nice homes of over 3,000 sq. ft. are worth the cost.</p>
