Jones Creek is the destination for a slower pace of life
For those seeking a slower pace of life, a home in Jones Creek may be the solution. While living in Jones Creek, residents can be isolated but not far away from activity. “You’re 20 minutes from the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico at Surfside Beach,” says Dena Pate, a Realtor at Coldwell Banker Ultimate. “You’re also living in a rural area where you could have your house on a bigger plot of land.”
Jones Creek is the destination for those looking for a slower pace. “I had a client who moved to a house in Jones Creek because it was quieter than where she lived in Lake Jackson. Jones Creek also provided her further distance between herself and her neighbors,” Pate says. Many years ago, there wasn’t a direct route between Lake Jackson and Jones Creek. That was until Route 2004 was built and the bridge across the Brazos River.
Highway 36 leads straight through the town of Jones Creek.

Most homes in Jones Creek date to the '60s and '70s
While most of the homes in Jones Creek are older, dating to the 1960s and ‘70s, there are a few newer homes as well. The price range is usually between $150,000 and $300,000. A more recent home was built in 2006 with three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. “I have sold a house under contract built in 1970, and it sold for $185,000, so the homes are less expensive than if you were buying in Lake Jackson, just 15 minutes to the north,” Pate says. A majority of the houses have between 1,000 and 2,000 square feet. For the homes that have more land, such as a three-bedroom ranch that sits on an acre and a half, the price is closer to $250,000. Ranch style is the prominent architectural design in Jones Creek.

Wildlife area offers hunting, hiking and youth programs
Outside of the village of Jones Creek, there isn’t much development because the Justin Hurst Wildlife Management Area takes up a lot of the land. At over 10,000 acres, it's used to develop and manage habitats for wildlife species, particularly waterfowl. In the spring, they recruit 13 to 17-year-olds to become part of their Waterfowl Brigade, which is five days of hands-on conversation and leadership learning. The area is also popular for duck hunters in the fall. Just off Route 36 along Jones Creek Terminal Road, the Live Oak Trail Loop is a half-mile paved trail through a wetland area, with various wildlife and thick undergrowth.
Fishermen can try their luck to catch a big one in Jones Creek.
