Life in Houston

Enron's headquarters are in Houston, Texas, the fourth-largest city in the U.S. and a leader in education, the arts and healthcare -- not to mention the energy capital of the world and the home of the world-renowned Texas Medical Center. Most of our Analysts and Associates are based here in Houston, in our downtown offices.

You'll like making your home in Houston, recently rated the third most livable in the U.S. by Places Rated Almanac. Our many distinctive downtown and suburban neighborhoods offer something for everyone, in every price range. And you may have more to spend: Texas has no state income tax.

Of course, we like to mention that baseball's Houston Astros recently moved into a new ballpark -- Enron Field. But there's a whole lot more.

Our outstanding restaurant scene features numerous ethnic cuisines. (The 1999 Zagat Survey found that Houston residents eat out more than those of any other major U.S. city.) There's nightlife for all tastes -- ranging from the Richmond strip to Montrose, to Downtown. Houston's Theater District is home to premier arts organizations and a concentration of downtown theater seats second only to New York's Broadway, while our museums have become international destinations. The Rockets and Comets provide two seasons' worth of basketball action, and pro football is slated to return to the city in 2002. And have your credit card ready: Houston is jam-packed with shopping opportunities, from massive shopping malls and upscale boutiques to more offbeat, one-of-a-kind shops.

The eclectic, cutting-edge music scene of Austin is only a couple of hours away. Or take a jaunt to New Orleans for a long weekend of bontemps.

And yes, it's also hot! We have about eight months of what most Americans call summer. So you can ditch the parka: Even in the dead of winter, the average low is around 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
