Welcome to Clear Lake

​​​​​​​Less than an hour away from Houston and adjacent to the pristine beauty of Clear Lake itself, the master-planned community of Clear Lake is a suburban dream in the Galveston Bay Area. With its proximity to NASA’s Johnson Space Center, several aerospace industrial giants like Boeing and Lockheed Martin, and many biotech and petrochemical companies, Clear Lake is home to a highly educated population whose employment leans towards white-collar jobs with large corporations.

Clear Lake’s history dates back to 1880 when James Marion West grew into a successful businessman with a property around Clear Lake’s shores. Exxon Oil purchased the land in 1938, but its residential planning didn’t begin until the Friendswood Developing Company decided to build a residential development there after Johnson Space Center was established in the area. 

Opportunity is abundant in Clear Lake, yet the community maintains its idyllic suburban charm through carefully cultivated residential neighborhoods, alluring retail districts, and a wide array of outdoor recreational options. The housing options in Clear Lake are absolutely stunning, and though elegant single-family homes dominate the market, there are plenty of luxury condominiums and apartments available as well.
