Suburban homes beside top-ranked schools in Sunmeadow
Sunmeadow’s affordable homes are dotted along an oval-shaped master-planned layout, just blocks away from Friendswood’s array of green spaces and restaurants along Parkwood Avenue. “The school district is the top reason people come here, as well as the Houston area employers,” says Nathalie Sweeney, a 9-year real estate agent with Century 21 Olympian. Residents here also find the community’s proximity to the NASA Johnson Space Center and other major employers in Houston appealing, as well as having some of Galveston County’s highest-rated schools close to home.
Sunmeadow is a lush area free of the hustle and bustle of urban living.
Sunmeadow residents can catch a game or two at Friendswood Sports Park.

Playgrounds, a driving range and a fishing lake within a couple miles
Locals can visit the playground at Friendswood Trails Park just a block south of home. A little further south is Friendswood Sports Park, which hosts softball and lacrosse fields and the Championship Golf Center, a driving range with a batting cage. There’s also the nearby Lake Friendswood Park, a 33-acre pond with two fishing docks, a boat launch and a picnic pavilion. The lake is stocked four times a year by Texas Parks and Wildlife, so anglers can catch channel catfish, rainbow trout and largemouth bass here.

Convenient to major Houston employers from home
Commuters can head 12 miles east to reach the NASA Johnson Space Center, which employs around 12,000 contractors and civil servants. A 28-mile north along Interstate 45 leads to Downtown Houston in around 45 minutes, depending on traffic. For domestic and international flights, William P. Hobby Airport is a 17-mile drive north of home. Due to the lack of public transit options around Friendswood, locals are car-dependent.
GreatSchools:
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.
