Clearly the Best Place to Live and Work. 

Just 20 minutes southeast of downtown Houston, the Clear Lake region is known for its highly educated labor force, facilities, transportation network, and quality of life on Clear Lake. It is also the third largest boating center in the U.S., with over 7,700 boat slips, including 1200 in Seabrook and Kemah. 

The region boasts a diverse economy of aerospace, petrochemicals, tourism, boating, and recreation. NASA/Johnson Space Center, the Bayport petrochemical complex, Ellington Field, and the University of Houston play a big part in the growth of the region.
