A charming suburban town on the Texas coastline

Coastal Low Crime Safe Upscale Commuter Suburban

An hour south of Houston via 288, Lake Jackson is a popular home base for many of the region’s commuters (it’s about an hour west of Galveston as well). The city is relatively small and mostly composed of residential neighborhoods.

Brazos Mall and its neighboring cluster of specialty shops and restaurants serve as popular hangouts for locals, and numerous public parks like T.J. Dunbar Jr. Park provide beautiful opportunities to get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine. The community is positioned just minutes inland from the Gulf of Mexico, making it easy to head to the coast for a beach day or a fishing trip.
