Apartment Life
When our students demonstrate the emotional health, personal vision, and hard skills required for independent living, they move into apartments in Sugar Land, Texas, about twenty miles from the ranch. In this vibrant Houston suburb, our young women experience the same independence as college students or working adults, but with the daily support of mentors, therapists, and supportive peers who know them well.
From their new home base in Sugar Land, Texas, students live, work, and study independently while navigating the day to day realities of apartment living. During Phase Three, Fulshear students are encouraged to take increasing responsibility for themselves in all areas of life, including personal schedule, school and work obligations, social life, and self-care. While navigating the joys and stresses of independence during Phase Three, students construct a clear strategy for their next step-an independent life in the real world as empowered, impassioned, capable women.
The Apartments
The Fulshear apartments are part of a brand new, well-appointed, unit apartment complex. These apartments were selected for a number of reasons, including:
- New, clean, well-appointed units with beautiful arboreal and garden views
- Walking-distance to Sugarland shops and businesses
- 24-hour security service in a well-patrolled neighborhood
- Apartment population comprised primarily of young professionals and families-safe and quiet with a family feel
- Embedded in one of Sugar Land's loveliest residential neighborhoods
- On-site recreation opportunities including beautiful swimming pool and outdoor walking paths
- Fully equipped community center
The Town of Sugar Land
With a census of around 80,000 and easy access to Houston and Houston airports, Sugar Land, TX is big enough to offer lots of work and study options for our students, but small enough to be safe and manageable. The town was selected by Forbes in 2008 as one of three "Top Suburbs to Live Well" in the Houston area. Because Sugar Land continues to experience strong job growth despite this challenging economy, Fulshear students continue to have access to a wide selection of jobs and internships. These opportunities include work in schools, the town's luxury hotels, professional offices, coffee shops and restaurants, retail, etc.
