A historic Houston suburb
Known as the "Birthplace of Texas," Deer Park's legacy lives on as the site of the Battle of San Jacinto, the deciding battle of the Texas Revolution. Today, the community of around 33,000 people has grown into a largely industrial city, with the northern half occupied by refineries and chemical plants where most residents work. South of Highway 225 is primarily residential, where locals enjoy the annual events, parks and visit the Central Street retail and restaurant scene. "My aunt lived in Deer Park, and since I was twelve, I knew that one day I wanted to own a home here," says Candie Robles, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Clear Lake, who lives in Deer Park and has been selling houses for eight years. "She still lives in the same house; in Deer Park, people grow up and stay to raise their own families."
Deer Park is known state-wide as the "Birthplace of Texas".

Deer Park crime rates and weather factors
According to FBI crime data, Deer Park's violent and property crime rates are lower than the national average and have either stayed the same or trended down over the last few years.
Deer Park's location in southeast Texas puts it at risk for potential tornadoes, severe thunderstorms and excessive heat. An EF3 tornado hit Deer Park in 2023, destroying many homes and businesses and causing the strongest devastation to the region since the 1990s. The community came together to rebuild after the disaster. "It's a very family-oriented community. After the tornado, a neighbor lost the house she lived in for decades, and the city came together to help her raise money to rebuild her home," Robles says.
