Harris County · Galveston County
Clear Lake & Bay Area
Clear Lake and the Bay Area stretch southeast from Houston along I-45, NASA Parkway, and SH 146. Johnson Space Center is the best-known anchor, but the area also reaches toward Port Houston’s Bayport and Barbours Cut terminals and the waterfront communities around Galveston Bay. Housing includes master-planned subdivisions, waterfront townhouses, garden apartments, and larger lots closer to the county line. City limits change often here, so confirm the municipality, school district, association, flood information, and windstorm-insurance questions for the exact address.
