Damon
Located in Brazoria County
Sleepy, small-town vibes permeate Damon, where traffic significantly slows down, with only one stoplight along the area’s main road. Otherwise, you’ll find miles and miles of farmland and prairies between any major development. “It’s wide open, which is the appeal,” says Shane Light, real estate agent with eXp Realty, LLC. “You can get larger tracts of land for a better value. With all the new development in Sugarland and the Richmond area, about 30 minutes away, people take advantage of more space in Damon.”
Many of Damon’s homes sit on large plots of land, allowing residents to enjoy ample living space and peaceful views. With some properties ranging from 10 to 45 acres, buyers will have a blank canvas for an extensive backyard or farming. While many homes are ranch-style with modern interior touches, Light says, “A lot of people are buying lots and building custom homes to fit their taste. There’s no HOA fee, so you can carve out your own piece of land and do what you want with it.” These properties can start around $550,000 and climb up to $1.5 million for those that come with additional buildings used for guest houses, event venues or farming. Closer to the town’s center, houses, lot sizes and prices shrink. A mix of bungalows and ranch homes with quarter-acre-sized yards are often priced below $200,000.
Students in prekindergarten through eighth grade attend Damon Elementary School, where they can participate in a wide variety of extracurriculars, including an award-winning jazz band. The Damon Independent School District has partnered with the Needville Independent School District for students living in Damon to attend Needville High School, which has an A-minus rating from Niche.
While you’ll likely have plenty of space for fresh air and beautiful views at the homes in Damon, you can also make the trip to surrounding parks and nature preserves. About 12 miles south, or a 15-minute drive, is First Capitol Park in West Columbia. Go for a walk along trails, play a game of soccer or volleyball with friends or take the kids to the playground to explore. The park also boasts a pool for swimming in the summer and a small pond where many locals gather to fish. If you want to get a glimpse of wildlife, flora and fauna native to the area, venture east to the massive 427-acre Nash Prairie Preserve. Bird watchers will thrive here, with more than 120 types of species among the tallgrass prairies.
Retail and restaurants are few and far between in Damon. Along Highway 36, you’ll find The Open Range, which first opened its doors in the 1940s as a small beer bar. In the decades since, the hidden gem has transformed into a cozy and inviting spot with an eclectic menu packed with American and Italian dishes. Another small dive frequented by locals is West of the Brazos, which has plenty of Lone Star State spirit on display through its décor. Customers liken the menu to what you’d share with friends and family at a backyard BBQ, like burgers and chicken wings. There is a Dollar General along the main drag, but when you need groceries, travel 11 miles south along the main drag to West Columbia to find a Walmart and an H-E-B Supermarket.
Amenities common to urban areas, like a hospital, major retailers and shopping centers and entertainment will require a 28-mile drive northeast to Sugar Land. Off the beaten path, but still within driving distance of major cities, you can escape the hustle and bustle in Damon.
