Schematic map — simplified for orientation, not survey-accurate.

South Houston and Brazoria County follow SH 288 from Beltway 8 through Pearland and toward Angleton, with Alvin to the east along SH 35. The corridor includes newer master-planned neighborhoods, townhouses near commercial areas, and larger lots farther south. Pearland alone crosses Brazoria, Harris, and Fort Bend counties, so the city name will not give you the whole answer. For a serious home, I would confirm the county, schools, utilities, taxes, drainage, and SH 288 trip from the actual address.
