They say everything’s bigger in Texas, and that’s true about how much locals love being from Alvin. Home to an MLB Hall of Famer, NFL stars and even a United States Congressman, Alvin lives up to its motto of Serving with Pride.

New residential construction is taking over in Alvin, with homes being built with one and two stories featuring brick and stone façades, attached multicar garages and energy-efficient amenities in the interior. Ranch-style homes set back in cul-de-sacs are also popular, sitting on spacious lots with manicured lawns. More established homes offer a stately feel, reflecting traditional-style architecture, with ample yard space for entertainment areas, inground pools and gorgeous lake views. A touch of historic charm comes with the Victorian homes — displaying huge front porches and fenced-in yards — dating back to the late 19th century. Prices for new builds start in the high $200,000s and go up to the low $500,000s. Other homes in the area come with price tags in the $300,000s and $400,000s.

As part of the Alvin Independent School District, students can attend Alvin Elementary School, Alvin Junior High School and Alvin High School during their academic journeys. A 6A school with the University Interscholastic League, the high school is well-known for its baseball and football programs. It counts MLB World Series champ Nathan Eovaldi and Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Gunner Olszewski among its notable alums. The junior high and high schools hold an overall Niche grade of B-plus, while the elementary school has a B.

Baseball enthusiasts can have a fun-filled day at Lions Sports Park. Located right by Alvin High School, the park offers five baseball fields — four lighted for nighttime play — along with two open sports fields for other activities. At Bob Briscoe Park, covered basketball courts provide much-needed shade from the sun while shooting hoops while walkers can enjoy 1.8 miles of walking paths that surround soccer and football fields. Covering 42 acres, the park also includes a fishing pond, an all-inclusive playground and a 1.7-acre dog park.

Stop by H-E-B, Texas’s favorite grocery store, for fresh meat, produce and other provisions. The community also has an ALDI Food Market that residents like to frequent to grab groceries for home. When you’re not in the mood to do the cooking, head over to Red Oak Café. Serving breakfast and lunch, Red Oak specializes in soups, salads and sandwiches; the café also offers keto options for breakfast. At Takara Sushi & Steak House, you can dine on a wide variety of Japanese cuisine, including sashimi, ramen and hot pot soup. The sushi bar stocked with signature rolls is always a highlight.

Add a little bit of excitement to your weekends at Pearland BMX. Officially sanctioned by USA BMX, the motocross track is filled with fun activities for the entire family. Visitors can have friendly one-on-one races or participate in competitions like the State Race Gold Cup and the Texas State Championship Race. Coaching and lessons are also provided for those interested, and the track hosts children’s birthday parties throughout the year.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
