What a rank means
A rank compares a community with the others in the group; it says nothing about whether a particular home is a fit. Communities at either end of a measure are not better or worse, only different, and the right one depends on your budget, timeline and what you want to own. Every buyer and seller in Sugar Land is weighing a different set of trade-offs, and waiting to decide is often the costliest choice.
