Living in Clear Lake
Clear Lake is the area around the lake of the same name, about 24 miles southeast of Downtown by car. It grew up in the 1960s around NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center, now the Johnson Space Center, when Humble Oil's Friendswood Development Company built the master-planned Clear Lake City nearby. Today it mixes established neighborhoods, newer subdivisions, waterfront homes and condos, with quick access to Galveston Bay.
Why buyers choose Clear Lake

- On the water. Marinas on Clear Lake and easy access to Galveston Bay for sailing and fishing.
- Nature. Armand Bayou Nature Center, one of the largest urban wilderness preserves in the country, plus Bay Area Park.
- Schools and college. Clear Creek ISD schools and the University of Houston-Clear Lake. Check zoning for each address.
