The rare waterfront community of East Shore
East Shore offers something rare in Texas: waterfront property. This neighborhood is one-fourth water, ideally placed within The Woodlands about 30 miles north of Houston. On the west are lakefront homes and neighborhoods, and to the north and east is everything this modern planned community offers. “The East Shore island has been around for many, many years, and it’s a nesting home for bald eagles. The community of East Shore came together and made sure it stayed protected, which was a great thing to see. That’s what we do here,” says Beth Ferester, a local of East Shore and owner and Realtor at Corcoran Ferester Realty. “East Shore is made for all the residents to enjoy the lake, not just the ones with the privilege of waterfront property. The sidewalks wind all around, and it shares the privilege with everyone.”

Endless opportunity for outdoor recreation at the shore
The neighborhood has several parks, from the waterside gazebo at Southshore Park to the scenic walking trails that circle the pond at Olmstead Park. “The whole area is so walkable, with gorgeous parks. Ellipse Park is considered the dog park of the community, and we all take our dogs there to play around,” Ferester says. A system of greenways runs along Lake Woodlands and east along one of its broader tributaries, offering residents the chance to jog or bike from the lake into town. Lake Woodlands is, of course, a neighborhood gem. Totaling 200 acres of freshwater, it’s extremely popular for kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding.

Luxury lakeside homes and diverse architecture
The homes of East Shore are highly varied, and the waterfront property is luxurious. Neoclassical Colonial Revivals of several thousand square feet with white columns and shuttered windows sit on the calm waters of Lake Woodlands. Further east, the neighborhood is filled with cul-de-sacs and winding streets on which stately white Federal-style townhouses stand. “East Bay Boulevard was inspired by homes in Charleston, very Southern,” Ferester says. “We’re the only community in The Woodlands with a private clubhouse. There’s a huge pool, outdoor kitchen, gym and right on the waterway. There’s not much land left for new construction, except for the island, but that’s protected.” Townhouses sell between $600,000 and $800,000, while detached homes have a drastic range. A three-bedroom modern stucco home can sell for $950,000, while a five-bedroom Georgian mansion can sell for $2.5 million.

Waterside events near East Shore
Just across the waterway, locals have premier access to community events. The annual Rock the Row free concert series takes place at Hughes Landing on Thursdays each spring and fall, while the neighboring Northshore Park is a favorite spot to attend free outdoor Concerts in the Park and a huge Fourth of July festival.
Upscale seafood eats and daily errands
“We have a main bridge over the waterway where you can get to Market Street, Whole Foods, all that. There are trolleys that run too, so you can easily pick up a trolley and head over,” Ferester points out. Market Street is a huge outdoor shopping mall with many retailers, and residents can find several highly-rated restaurants on the lakeside, such as Truluck’s, an upscale seafood eatery. There’s plenty to see without crossing the waterway, however. Heading south on Grogans Mill Road, there are several small businesses, restaurants such as popular breakfast spot The Toasted Yolk, condos and the kid-friendly Play Street Museum.
The Toasted Yolk is a popular spot to grab breakfast, lunch and dinner in East Shore.
