A stroll through Richmond's tree-shaded streets past century-old homes, copper-domed courthouse and century-old jail and one thing becomes clear. Richmond is a town that is proud of its past but smart enough to prepare for the future. Located 30 miles west of Houston, Richmond is the seat of Ft. Bend County and contains most of the local government offices. The city is bound by the winding Brazos River to the north and its sister city, Rosenberg to the south. Actually the smaller of the two cities, with 11,000 residents compared to Rosenberg's 30,000, the Richmond-Rosenberg Area is the principal economic and residential growth corridor east of Sugar Land. Residents work in a variety of industrial and professional industries locally and in nearby Sugar land. The area's scenic vistas amid mostly undeveloped ranch land, small town charm and ease of access Houston's amenities via Highway 59, will continue to attract new residents from more populated parts of the metro-area. With a plethora of new construction in both the Richmond and Rosenberg areas, a wide range of affordable housing stock begins in the $110's with homes in more exclusive golf resort communities. Museums, a quaint antiques district, Art Deco theater, and diverse restaurant fare from mouthwatering barbecue to superb enchiladas also enhance the unique character of the Richmond-Rosenberg Area. Nature lovers come for the bird watching trails; Anglers come for the bass-stocked lakes; and families delight in Richmond's active theatre productions, outdoor concerts, festivals and year-round community events.
