Pinewood Estates
Mid-century ranch-style properties and new constructions
Mid-century ranch-style properties populate most of the Pinewood Estates, and the greater Sour Lakes area, but prospective homebuyers can find newer properties in places like the Holly Trails Subdivision. Homes here range from upwards of $100,000 for a 3-bedroom ranch-style property in need of renovation to upwards of $600,000 for a new 4-bedroom home in the subdivision. Many properties sit on spacious lots surrounded by oak and pine trees, creating a remote feel to the area. Most homes have carports or attached garages, so residents don’t often have to park on the area’s narrow streets, which also don’t often have sidewalks. The Sour Lakes area also has various lots for sale, ranging from under an acre to over 400, for those interested in custom-built homes.

Golfing, hunting and hiking
Golfers can practice their aim at Idylwild Golf Club’s 18-hole course, which is located right near the Pinewood Estates. The club also offers golf lessons for locals who want to improve at one of the area’s most popular pastimes. Nearby, kids can have fun at Moore Park’s playground and pavilion. Lumberton City Park is nearly 18 miles away. Visitors can enjoy walking or biking on the park’s trails or grab their friends for a picnic grill out. The park also has a golf course for those wanting to challenge their friends to a match. Many locals also spend time at hunting preserves which are scattered near the Sour Lake area. Big Thicket National Preserve is just a 26-mile drive away from the area. Locals can hunt animals like white-tailed deer and waterfowl at this preserve or spend their time hiking on trails that meander through a dense forest of longleaf pines.

Groceries, local produce and barbeque
Locals can grab their groceries at Brookshire Brothers or get quick essentials from Dollar General, and anyone in search of locally grown produce can head to God’s Green Earth Market and Café. Shoppers can grab a bite to eat at the café after perusing items like canned and pickled goods. Another option for those who want to eat out is the locally owned Big P’s Ultimate BBQ Shack, where patrons can enjoy meat with classic sides like cole slaw and mac and cheese. Sonic Drive-In is also right next door for anyone craving a burger and fries. Locals will want to head closer to downtown Beaumont for a wider selection of shopping and dining opportunities.

Stellar Hardin-Jefferson Independent School District
Students can enroll in the highly rated Hardin-Jefferson Independent School District, which boasts a student-teacher ratio of 15 to 1 and is ranked as the best school district in the Beaumont area. Students can attend Sour Lake Elementary, Henderson Middle and Hardin-Jefferson High. All three schools are rated an A-minus or above from Niche and feature gifted programs.

Car-dependent area with easy access to Beaumont
Public transportation is not readily accessible, so the Pinewood Estates and Sour Lake is a car-dependent area. Locals often take the 20-mile drive via TX-105 E to downtown Beaumont’s wider selection of dining and shopping opportunities. The Jacks Brook Regional Airport is a 33-mile drive through highways like TX-105 E and US-286, and the Medical Center of Southeast Texas-Beaumont, a major employer of the Beaumont area, is 16 miles away via TX-105 E. Houston is around 80 miles away via I-10 W.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
