Condos for Sale in Bailey's Prairie, Lake Jackson

Bailey’s Prairie in Lake Jackson, Texas, is a neighborhood steeped in history and Texas lore, originally settled by the colorful War of 1812 veteran Brit Bailey. The area retains its ranching roots with expansive prairie lands and horse ranches under vast Texas skies. Homes here are primarily traditional ranch styles from the 1970s on large rural lots, and newer custom-designed Farmhouse homes in suburban cul-de-sacs. Located less than an hour south of Houston and near the Brazos River, residents rely on their vehicles for commuting, with the nearby city of Lake Jackson offering dining, retail, and entertainment options. The Brazos Mall features stores like Dillard’s, TJ Maxx, and HomeGoods, and an AMC theater. Dining options include familiar chains, but locals often drive to Freeport for unique eateries like Taqueria Daisy and On The River. Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty of things to do, with parks such as TJ Dunbar Junior Park and Buffalo Camp Park, the Wilderness Golf Course, and the Gulf Coast Bird Observatory. The nearby Brazoria Reservoir offers excellent bass fishing, and Freeport’s less crowded beaches are perfect for a day in the sun. For families, Westside Elementary School and Lake Jackson Intermediate School are highly rated, providing quality education for children in the area.
