Gulf shores, a golf course and new homes, oh my. Nestled along the Old Brazos River, Freeport is a quaint seaside town that thrives with strides.

The streets of Freeport are lined with homes that date back to the 1930s. Beachfront design vibes are all over as the community overlooks the Gulf of Mexico.

Newer homes built in the 2010s offer Craftsman architectural designs, with many having two stories.

The more seasoned homes in the area are generally priced under $200,000, while newer contemporary homes can be priced in the mid-$200,000s. New builds can range from the low $200,000s to the high $400,000s, and waterfront estates can be nearly $900,000.
