HOUSTON, TX — Leasing is not something people are merely settling for in the Houston area anymore.

No, in fact these days it's become a preference in one of the most diverse and dynamic regions in the U.S.

There are a lot of reasons people consider before leasing including:

• Commute times between work and home
