Two suburbs in Texas made the list of most envied lifestyles in the country: Sugar Land, with its strong economy and proximity to Houston, and Alamo Heights, for a high median household income and good schools.

Moving Feedback ran an online panel survey of 3,000 adults in the U.S. to find out which suburbs across America have the most appeal. They then ranked the 175 suburbs with the most envied lifestyles across the country.

Aside from the two Texas cities that made the top 10 suburban lifestyles, another made the top 20.
