About 30 miles from Houston is Nassauu Bay, a small city bordered by Clear Lake. The lake serves as one of the biggest draws to the area. Besides its scenic views and water sports, Nassau Bay is also located next to the NASA Space Center, making it an ideal location for working residents. "Great water views are a given, and Nassau Bay has a huge employment center for NASA so that draws people in," says Tim Surratt, a Realtor with Greenwood King Properties. "Many major hospital centers, including Methodist, have also moved their secondary offices to the area." Nassau Bay sits at the "halfway point" between Houston and Galveston, so residents "get the best of both worlds," according to Surratt. Homes start at $250,000 and go up to $600,000.

From ranches to townhouses
Most homes were constructed during the 1960s, resulting in styles such as condos, townhouses, and ranches. Many properties overlooking the water are multi-floor townhouses and condos. Prices start at $250,000 and go up to $600,000, with a median sale price of $370,000. "You're going to find a lot of Houstonians with a second home in Nassau Bay," says Surratt. "You get more bang for your buck here compared to downtown Houston, and it's still only about 40 minutes away from the city's action."
Townhomes are a popular option for young homeowners in Nassau Bay.
Many homes in Nassau Bay offer large front and back yards.
