Location

Work in Houston, play in Galveston — it’s easy when you live in the Bay Area. Webster, League City, Clear Lake and other cities are just 30 minutes from both. That doubles your access to major attractions, sailing on lakes and the Gulf, nature preserves and more.

Outstanding Neighborhoods

Each Bay Area city is unique, but they all have one thing in common — great neighborhoods. In communities like Edgewater, you’ll discover beautiful homes, friendly neighbors and excellent schools. It’s everything you need for your family to grow and thrive.

Excellent Schools

Bay Area cities are served by seven school districts. Edgewater residents are zoned to schools in the outstanding Clear Creek ISD. Considered one of the top 50 school districts in Texas by Niche, Clear Creek ISD teachers promote a rigorous, yet nurturing educational environment. Other areas are served by Dickinson ISD, Friendswood ISD, La Porte ISD, Pasadena ISD, Hitchcock ISD and Santa Fe ISD.

Space Center Houston

The Bay Area is home to many attractions, but by far the most famous is Space Center Houston. The Official Visitor Center of NASA Johnson Space Center attracts 1.25 million visitors annually. Families can always find something new to explore along with more than 400 space artifacts, permanent and traveling exhibits, experiences and theaters.

Nature In Your Backyard

Coastline in front of you, trails behind you. The Bay Area is a nature lover’s paradise. Check out the wildlife at the Armand Bayou Nature Center.
