Clear Lake Shores is a relaxed island community on the southern coast of Clear Lake, at the entrance to Jarboe Bayou. A population of water enthusiasts enjoys the small town, resort-style atmosphere without sacrificing the modern conveniences of urban life. The area’s housing market is dotted with single-family homes, condominiums and townhouses, investment properties, commercial lots and land for custom development.
Clear Lake Shores’ claim to fame is its possession of four major marinas. Boasting 100 more boat slips than permanent residents, the island is considered the boating capital of Texas. This island paradise started early in the century as a resort destination where people kept summer homes and personal watercrafts. Since then it has evolved into a thriving community of 1,400 permanent citizens. Due to its location on the Gulf of Mexico, the island enjoys a moderate climate year-round. The weather appeals to more than just Clear Lake Shores’ inhabitants; the waterside village is a bird sanctuary as well.
Two bridges extend from the island, giving access to major thoroughfares, so the serenity of this bedroom community can stay intact, without the noise and pollution of major highways. The island itself posts a 20 mph speed limit and locals navigate the quaint network of inner-island roads on golf carts, bicycles and on foot. Scholars of all ages attend schools in the Clear Creek Independent School District, one of the finest in the state. Fine dining, excellent shopping, a gorgeous landscape and a warm, friendly, relaxed quality of life all await you in Clear Lake Shores.
