Shadow Creek Ranch is a master-planned community packed with amenities

In landlocked Houston, finding a home with a guaranteed waterfront view can be difficult — unless that home is in Shadow Creek Ranch. This master-planned community in Pearland was developed in the 1990s with 17 distinct lakes across the neighborhood. Between these lakes are walkable and bikeable trails, four recreation centers and pools, two malls and a full-service hospital. The community also has highly rated schools, a 22-mile nature trail and a calendar of monthly and seasonal community events. Two nearby highways also provide a fast route into downtown Houston.

Community parks and Shadow Creek Ranch Nature Trail

Shadow Creek Ranch independently maintains 150 acres of parks and four recreation centers with pools. Out of all these rec centers, Diamond Bay Water Park on Trinity Bay Drive is the most popular for its pool with lap lanes, water slides and water play areas for kids. The city of Pearland maintains Shadow Creek Ranch Nature Trail, a 42-acre park on Del Papa Street with a sports complex and 22 miles of hiking trails through protected wetlands and prairies. “People who are runners love the nature trail. There’s a 2-mile in-and-out run through the wetlands,” says Jason Koon, a Houston native and Realtor with eXp Realty. “It’s such a nice place to run or just for bird-watching on the observatory deck.”
