Neighborhood Spotlight: Clear Lake City

Clear Lake City sits on the southeast side of Houston, next to NASA's Johnson Space Center and a short drive from the lake it is named for. The City of Houston annexed it years ago, but it still has its own water authority, and homes here are zoned to Clear Creek ISD. Much of the area's work comes from the space center and the engineering and technology companies around it.

HAR's 2025 figures for the neighborhood list about 1,600 single-family homes. The median home is around 1,900 square feet on a lot of roughly 8,800 square feet, and the median year built is 1966, so most houses here are established one- and two-story homes, many with updates. HAR puts the median market value near $270,000, with most homes valued between about $192,000 and $327,000, and a median sold price of about $149 per square foot.

For time outside, the Armand Bayou Nature Center on Bay Area Boulevard has about five miles of walking trails, a boardwalk and a bison viewing platform. Clear Lake itself is close by for boating and fishing, and Space Center Houston is minutes away.
