A place to unwind

The Southeast Houston region is notable in part for its jobs, ranging from NASA’s Johnson Space Center to the University of Texas Medical Branch’s web of hospitals and clinics. And people here looking for a quiet place to return home to when they’re off the clock can look no further than South Shore Harbour. This community, which falls just outside the Houston limits in League City, offers both waterside and linkside living. “South Shore Harbour offers a golf course community, so that is a huge draw for a lot of our UTMB and NASA families,” says local Realtor Clarissa Woodward of Keller Williams Realty Clear Lake/NASA. “It is a little farther south than Clear Lakes, but it’s less congested with traffic and infrastructure.” The neighborhood's tranquility helps make it what Woodward describes as a highly sought-after area. The crime score here ranks much better than the national average, too, according to the CAP Index.

A quiet suburban setting

Most of the houses in this area were built in the 1980s and 1990s, a collection of stoutly built new traditional options with brick and stone facades. Many of these homes are spacious, too — the average square footage is 2,864. Houses fill sidewalk-lined residential corridors and stand on lots often around one-fifth of an acre. Some homes in the area are part of a golf course development by South Shore Harbour Country Club, and others come with views of and access to Clear Lake. Yet this neighborhood, like others in the area, comes with a measure of pricing accessibility as well. “I do think that they have housing solutions for most budget ranges in the communities,” says Woodward, who has been in the real estate industry since 2006. “And what’s great is that they do have older and established communities that are at a lower price point. And then of course they have brand new, master-planned communities if you’re looking for something that’s top of the line for today’s standards.” Price tags here usually start in the $200,000s and can reach more than $2 million for a bigger house by the water.

Outdoor attractions come with the territory

The South Shore Harbour area is dotted with multiple parks, particularly by the Clear Lake waterfront. Glen Cove Park, for example, comes complete with a pier, a boat ramp and plenty of open field space by the water. The area’s Dr. Ned & Fay Dudney Nature Center stretches 148 acres, includes a more than mile-long paved trail and is considered a prime spot for bird watching. Also, golf enthusiasts in the area can explore entry to the South Shore Harbour Country Club, which features 27 holes in total.

Tranquil but not detached

This area’s lack of congestion means it comes with fewer commercial amenities than some other nearby neighborhoods, like Clear Lake. Yet locals still have multiple spots to pick from, and a trip to some of the other enclaves for more is easy. “There’s easy access to restaurants and multiple grocery stores,” Woodward says. “But, for a lot of your amenities —- like going to attractions — you’re typically going into like the Clear Lake, Webster or Galveston area.” South Shore Harbour has its own Randalls supermarket, and both a Walgreens and a CVS, along the thoroughfare of Marina Bay Drive. South Shore Harbour is home to multiple well-liked eateries as well, like Ivett's Italian Grill, whose chicken alfredo and seafood alfredo are popular. Those looking for a waterfront experience can head over to Sundance Grill II, a hotspot for brunch.
