BRAZORIA COUNTY |
| Country living in the shadow of Houston
with Hwy. 288 providing easy access to Houston, Medical Center, Astrodome
or Lake Jackson/Brazosport area. Being the nation’s largest petrochemical
industry county, taxes are low with large financial contributions to local
schools and communities. Vast wildlife resources and miles of Gulf shoreline make this a sportsman’s paradise. Sandy beaches, wooded creeks and rivers, wildlife preserves, ranches and farms make up the picturesque scenery of ancient oaks from 1821 when the first Capital of Texas was established here by Stephen F. Austin. Housing varies from the large ranch to the townhouse minutes from Houston. Pearland being closest to Houston offers both small and large new developments building homes in all price ranges such as Country Place retirement development and Silverlake master planned development providing two of Pearland’s three golf course and Country Club developments. Nearby Alvin and Manvel add to the small town living and rural country life with easy commuting to Houston, Nasa-Clear Lake and Bayport, and the Brazosport chemical complex. Schools are local small town districts with Community colleges such as Alvin, Brazosport, and San Jacinto near. University of Houston, Rice, University of Texas Medical and other Senior colleges are as close as Houston and Clear Lake. |
