Houston a top ‘Baby Boomtown,’ Forbes says

September 17, 2014
Published by Sandcastle Homes

Houston ranked the No. 8 on Forbes’ “Baby Boomtowns: The U.S. Cities Attracting the Most Families.”

According to Forbes, birth rates may be following the trend of job growth and the revival of the housing market in their rise. The list uses data showing the number of children ages 5 to 14 from 2000 to 2013 to analyze which cities have the strongest growth of families. Forbes said the cities on the list all seem to be suburban, affordable and largely located in the South and Intermountain West. Houston showed a 25.8 percent increase in the number of children from 2000 to 2013.

Other Texas cities to make the list include Austin, which comes in at No. 2 showing a 49.5 percent rise in the number of children ages 5-14 from 2000 to 2013. The Dallas-Fort Worth area ranked No. 6 on the list with a 28.2 percent rise in the number of children.

"We are so grateful to have found Sandcastle Homes! They’ve made the home-buying process so much easier and more enjoyable than we could have imagined. They are responsive, respectful, and always put the customer first. We truly appreciate the speed and accuracy with which they’ve addressed any concerns we’ve brought up throughout the process and can’t wait to officially own our first home. Sandcastle has a team that clearly values one another as much as they do their customers, and you can feel a sense of community when working with them."

"Sandcastle did an amazing job with my house. They came through on everything they promised. Jose Salas, the construction manager, is very helpful even after we closed on the house. He goes above and beyond. Getting to meet the owner, Salomon, during the closing was a great experience as many other builders don’t do this. We love our house and the quality of it!!"
Enrique and Judith
"We just moved into our new home by Sandcastle. Since the beginning of the process the whole Sandcastle team paid great attention to our requests and responded rapidly. We were lucky to get in contract in time for us to choose colors, kitchen design, finishes and other and all our requests were reflected in our new house. At the end of the closing, the team always kept the same great attitude towards us and helped us with any question or request. We would say one of the greatest things about Sandcastle is that they really back up what they sell: best price, best service, best quality in town. We ended up extremely pleased with our new house."
Andres and Marcela
"I just moved into my new Sandcastle home and I think it’s a wonderful place to live. They have been very helpful, particularly Lynette and Steve. From the owner Mike Salomen down, it has been a truly positive experience. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to buy a new home that is built of high quality to consider this home builder."
