    I live in Sugar Land, a small community on the outskirts of Houston, Texas. My neighborhood is highly culturally diverse. We have a large population of Asian Indians, and their presence is wonderful. I see so many lovely Indian families, including the grandparents, taking walks in the evenings. When I work out at our community center gym, it is very unusual to see a group of teens who are all the same ethnicity. As far as homophobia, I don’t know about my neighborhood, but my parents live in another of Houston’s burbs. They have a same-sex couple on the same street, and it’s really no big deal. As far as conformity, if you live in a “master planned community” your deed restictions will result in some uniformity in the neighborhood, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It sets some minimum standards for housekeeping. Finally, in some burbs, people don’t interact much on the sidewalks of the neighborhood. Many people have long commutes and two-income households and just want to crash when they get home. But these neighborhoods often have community centers and social and service organizations that act as a means for people to get to know one another. I hope you enjoy your new home. My hubby and I love ours!
