Port Beaumont
Port Beaumont is a neighborhood located on the west of the city at the Port of Beaumont, a bustling port lined with industrial plants and refineries. Will Johnson, a Realtor and owner of William T.J. Realty, says that he's had clients over the years who work in Houston but choose to live in Beaumont because the cost of living is much more manageable.
Beaumont has a population of about 113,000, which means there’s not a lot of traffic or congestion, even during rush hour. Residents of Beaumont, and Port Beaumont in particular, have a lot in common with Houston, their neighbors 90 minutes to the west. There are a lot of oil and gas workers in Port Beaumont and, in many ways, the quality of life is better because the dollar goes a lot further here. For example, the cost of housing in Beaumont is about 39% less than in Houston.
In Port Beaumont, a new two-story traditional farmhouse-style home with four bedrooms costs about $200,000 and a small two-bedroom midcentury shotgun cottage sells for roughly $65,000. Of course, prices are influenced by the condition and location of the house. But these prices demonstrate how far your paycheck can go when you have a Port Beaumont address.
There aren’t many walkable cities in Texas, thanks, in part, to the scorching heat about half the year. But in Port Beaumont, if you wanted to walk to a neighborhood bar or an art gallery, you could. Locals love catching live bands at Nell’s Place and Texas Rose Saloon. The Art Studio, a neighborhood staple since the 1980s, has exhibitions and art classes throughout the year. For residents who prefer being outdoors, there’s also that option. According to Beaumont Visitors and Convention Center, Charlton Pollard Park, on Irving Avenue, is an iconic neighborhood institution. It has a pool, jogging trail, and basketball and tennis courts. The city council recently approved funding for major upgrades.
There are a couple of good grocery stores just a few minutes from Port Beaumont. Kroger is on the west side of Interstate 10 and an H-E-B is even closer to the neighborhood, on College and South 11th streets.
While Port Beaumont is only separated from Downtown by South Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway, the neighborhood doesn’t feel or look urban. The two-lane streets are quiet and yards are spacious. When you put in long hours at one of the refineries at the port, or at one of the medical centers downtown, coming home to Port Beaumont is, as they say, a sight for sore eyes.
Kids who live in Port Beaumont can enroll at Charlton-Pollard Elementary School. Several more public, private and charter schools are close to Port Beaumont, on the other side of MLK Parkway and College Street.
Living in the big city is not for everyone. And if you have a modest budget when buying your new home, Port Beaumont has a lot of options. Will, the Beaumont real estate agent, says, “If the big city is too expensive for you, then Beaumont will be your best friend.”

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.
