A recreational, residential town near Houston
Nestled under tree canopies between I-59 and Brays Bayou, the Braeburn neighborhood has grown from a postwar development into an established residential community in the Houston area. The massive Braeburn Country Club was a Houston staple by the time the neighborhood's first house was built, and recent decades have seen housing sprout up around its greens and tees. “Braeburn is known for its great golf course, which makes homes a little more expensive than the surrounding area, but they’re also nicer quality,” says Chad Cabrera, a Realtor with 5th Stream Realty who has worked in the area for almost a decade. The neighborhood has direct access to popular Houston destinations such as the NRG Stadium and the Houston Zoo, as well as the Texas Medical Center, which is also a major employer.

Highway 59 leads to downtown Houston.
Traveling down Interstate 69
Due to the area’s geography, it’s more prone to floods, which mostly occur along the main street. “Flooding is definitely an issue here,” Cabrera says. “Bissonnet Street has flooded a lot since I’ve moved here.” For everyday travel, people can drive on Bissonnet Street to get around the neighborhood, and Interstate 69 to reach downtown Houston. Bissonnet Street is home to many bus stops that commuters visit to reach downtown and other destinations in Braeburn. Frequent flyers visit William P. Hobby Airport, just 22 miles away or George Bush Intercontinental Airport, which is 33 miles away.

There is rarely any crime in the area it's very safe. There is a curfew to the children, that they can't play outside at 9:00 pm. Every once in while there will there security at night.
