Houston Is One Of The Friendliest Cities In America!

Texans are known for their warm greetings, firm handshakes, and a knack for making strangers feel right at home. So it’s no surprise that when a new nationwide survey ranked the Top 10 Friendliest Cities in America, Texas showed up in the mix. What might surprise you is that Houston was the only city in Texas to make the list.

Houston landed proudly at #5, joining the company of San Diego, Raleigh, Phoenix, and Miami in the top spots. For us, it’s a badge of honor. In a state famous for its hospitality, Houston represents the best of that tradition, a city where friendliness isn’t just a cliché, it’s a way of life.

Walk through any Houston neighborhood and you’ll feel it. From the shop owners in The Heights, to tailgaters at a Texans game, to families swapping brisket recipes at the rodeo, Houstonians treat visitors like neighbors. The city’s diversity only amplifies the sense of welcome; no matter where you’re from, you’ll find someone eager to share a smile, a story, or a seat at the table.

Other cities on the list include Honolulu, Boston, San Jose, Minneapolis–St. Paul and Denver.

But for Texas pride, it’s Houston carrying the Lone Star flag high.

We exemplify Southern hospitality with big-city energy. Houston is proof that friendliness lives large not just in the Lone Star State, but nationwide!
