The first thing that is likely to come up when discussing Webster is its links to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This is because the city is home to the Johnson Space Center, a NASA institute for mission control, shuttle training and space station astronauts. Although its space connections are impressive, Webster encompasses more than that. From its sporty venues to its thoughtfully designed recreational spaces, this slice of east Texas is what happens when small-town vibes meet big city attitudes.

Webster homes
Webster’s residential areas sport a cozy, intimate feel. Its three- to four-bedroom brick homes feature small back patios, multi-car garages and private, fenced-in backyards. Many homes are also located near small ponds. Prices for these properties range between $450,000 and $650,000. “The more established homes are going to be ranch-style, primarily built in the 1960s and ‘70s, and are selling for an average of $300,000,” says Omar Scanu, a sales associate with RE/MAX. “The homes have potential, and a lot of people are buying them and making modern upgrades to the interior.” The average home value for the city of Webster has trending upward in small increments. In January 2023, it was about $269,000 and by the end of the year, it was recorded at $272,000. Compared to the larger market in Harris County, the average home value began the year at $335,000 and rose to $345,000. With these numbers in mind, Webster has considerably lower average home values and is a comparatively more affordable area for homebuyers.
