Beaumont ranks high for quality of life and affordability
Named by the U.S. News and World Report as the sixth Most Affordable Place to Live in the US and sixth Best Place to Live in Texas, Beaumont is known for its high quality of life compared to its low cost of living and ample job opportunities. Residents in North End reap the benefits of this lifestyle, living in a neighborhood where the median price for a single-family home is $130,000 and parks, restaurants and shops are a short drive away. Due to its low cost of living, Beaumont is a commuter city for workers in Houston, and the Texas Department of Transportation's current construction on Interstate 10 and US Route 69 will soon make the commute even more convenient. "Beaumont may be a small city, but big changes are on the way," says Realtor William Johnson, the owner of William T.J. Realty and a top-performing agent in the greater Houston area.

Explore the Neches River
North End has several neighborhood parks that make it easy for residents to get outside, like Cottonwood Park, which has a playground and basketball court, and Pine Street Park, which has a splash pad, picnic pavilion and tennis court. Collier's Ferry Park is a riverside park on the Neches with a 1.8-mile walking trail, playground and picnic tables, but it's mostly known for its waterfront access. With a large dock and four boat ramps, it's a popular spot to get on the water and go fishing or crabbing from the shore or the pier. To cool off in the hot Texas summers, residents head to the public Magnolia Swimming Pool or the Neches River Saltwater Barrier, which is a part of the Big Thicket Preserve. Popular for its fishing and swimming, the park has a scenic kayak loop perfect for spotting wildflowers and wildlife.

Transportation in North End
North End runs alongside Interstate 10, allowing residents easy access to downtown and in and out of Beaumont. The Texas Department of Transportation is expanding and restructuring Interstate 10 and US Route 69. The improvements will make it easier to travel around town, and residents who work in Houston but live in Beaumont due to its low cost of living will have a shorter daily commute. The closest hospital to the neighborhood is CHRISTUS Southeast Texas St. Elizabeth, about two miles southwest, and the nearest airport is the Beaumont Municipal Airport, eight miles west. However, residents travel about 75 miles west to the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston for most flights. Beaumont has bus lines throughout North End, connecting residents to downtown and broader Beaumont.
