Houston's growth spills into Brookshire

The small town of Brookshire, Texas, is booming with new subdivisions, a trend Realtor Jonathan McNabb credits to the growth of Houston and nearby Katy. "Houston is expanding in all directions, and because of Katy basically filling up, the growth is moving further west to Brookshire," he says. "A whole bunch of companies are relocating out there. Tesla's building a factory out there, and you already have Amazon. Quite a few large companies are bringing distribution centers, so there's job growth, as well." Buyers looking at Brookshire can find newly built homes at much lower prices than in other parts of the Houston metro area and can get to know their neighbors at local restaurants, parks and churches.

New Traditional homes in newly built subdivisions

Most housing options are New Traditional homes built in brand-new subdivisions. "All kinds of new communities are popping up in the Brookshire area," McNabb says. "We have subdivisions and some master-planned communities that are being developed out there as well." There is also land available for sale for those looking to build. Land prices start around $30,000 and get as high as $7.5 million, while single-family home prices mostly range from about $200,000 to $700,000. Only about 60% of residents own their homes, meaning there are plenty of opportunities for those looking to rent.

College readiness in Royal Independent School District

Students can attend schools in Royal Independent School District, which gets an overall C grade from Niche. Royal Elementary School and Royal Junior High School get C grades from Niche, and Royal High School receives a C-plus. Royal Early College High School at Royal High School targets historically underserved students and allows them to earn dual credit at no cost.

City parks and the Hangar Unity Center

Brookshire City Park sits on the city's west side with a spaceship-themed playground, a community garden and a large pavilion. Hovas Park has a playground, splash pad, softball field and large picnic pavilion. Bostick Park is smaller, with just a playground and a half basketball court. Longenbaugh Park was recently renovated with a new playground and outdoor exercise equipment. The Hangar Unity Center is a Christian community center in Brookshire that offers fitness programs, youth sports, women's groups, youth groups, trade programs and food distribution services.

Dining at local restaurants

Orlando's Pizza is a local pizza shop with an all-you-can-eat buffet. Magili Bakery is a Salvadorian restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and homemade baked goods. The Awakening Coffee Shop on the city's north side is a cozy blue cottage with several cats living on the property. Proceeds from the coffee shop support Manna House, a nonprofit that helps men who are struggling with addiction. Residents can grocery shop at Brookshire Brothers, a Texas-based grocery chain, and Alameda Meat Market #2, a local butcher and bakery that also serves tacos.

West of Houston along Interstate 10

Brookshire is located along Interstate 10, 8 miles west of Katy and 37 miles west of Houston. Brookshire's closest medical center is Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital, 12 miles east. When traveling out of town, residents can fly out of George Bush Intercontinental Airport, 29 miles northeast.
