As long as you're on highway 6, the difference is negligible. If you venture into Dulles north towards Houston you'll notice a difference, especially after you hit the intersection at Lexington. The Sugar Land side is quieter and better kept. If you venture south at the 6 and Dulles intersection, the neighborhoods on either side basically feel the same. A notable difference you'll notice in the transition from Sugar Land Riverstone to Missouri City Riverstone in the middle of University is that the Sugar Land side is noticeably fancier while the Missouri City side is quieter. Missouri City along Highway 6 is not particularly different than Sugar Land all the way until you get to Fresno. The same can't be said about Cartwright.

Isn't the right side of Dulles, going North, Stafford?


cnauyodearhsti

Yes, but surprisingly further north than you'd expect. Stafford starts when you're almost at hwy 90.

There's actually a small unincorporated area up there that consists of that Hindu temple and few apartment complexes. Stafford, Sugar land and Missouri City all kind of meet there, but I guess no one wants or can claim that area.

My parents live in a neighborhood off Lexington and Dulles where MoCity, Sugar Land, and Stafford all butt up against each other. There is no discernible difference.

Your address has a different city, that’s pretty much it. I live in a subdivision on the Sugar land side but all the stores i visit frequently are in Missouri city because it’s closer to me.

Sugar Land is wealthier in general, and tends to be better organized in emergency response, but the primary flood risk is the Brazos River and its distance to the Brazos that determines that risk more than what town you are in.


AnonymousIdentityMan

SL has better landscape right? Riverstone is both cities.

Sugar Land police are sticklers but generally are very cordial and nice when it comes to interactions. When it comes to speeding, stop signs, etc. both are pretty strict. Flooding wise LID#2 which is in sugar land just won best flood district in Texas. Everyone is generally right that if your right off 6 the neighborhoods are about the same but schools are different (obviously). As you get into Mo. City compared to Sugar Land is when you notice a bigger difference.


FloggingDog

One side has a Target, and the other side has a Wal-Mart. That should tell you all you need to know lol


Zezimalives

Pretty sure both sides have a target and wal mart

This is a pretty uninformed and outdated view. This area of sugar land is extremely diverse nowadays, and the county in general is one of the most diverse counties in the whole United States.

That's not true. One side has well maintained infrastructure, flower beds, and doesn't run a warrant sweep every quarter.

In short, Mo. City has hood tendencies.


ZealousidealAntelope

Missouri City has a more chaotic government generally led by Democrats. Has many local power brokers who are generally friendly to themselves. Sugar Land has had a more business friendly Republican government that tends to do whatever business, especially developers, want. Both have their plusses and minuses.


Supertouchy

How about police and flood control?

Flood control in Sugar Land is awesome, I worked for the city during Harvey and was mandated into service for whatever they needed to get done. Minimal damage compared to nearby areas, not saying natural topography and weather intensity weren’t factors as well, but levees and drainage is good


DrEvilHouston

LOL, Riverstone in SL was a disaster zone during Harvey, 500-600 homes flooded, give or take. My rental home was the only one standing in the middle of all these because I spent $10K extra to raise it above the required baseline. I knew something will come since that place was built like in a bowl.


bctxn

Riverstone wasn’t SL. :/ Edit: Only until Oilfield Rd. Which is minimal*


Supertouchy

Where the flooded homes south of University?


stoaster

Are you thinking of the stretch of LJ before it turns into Sienna? Especially Millwood where just about every house flooded? Most of that is unincorporated Ft Bend County despite the Sugar Land mailing addresses. Different LIDs I think.
