Friendswood real estate
Friendswood, Texas.
The city of Friendswood lies farther
south, on the west side of the Gulf Freeway. It is a rural community
founded in 1895 by members of the Society of Friends (Quakers).
These days, the 28,000 residents enjoy a heavily-wooded, rural
atmosphere. Some homes sit on several acres, others on smaller
subdivision lots. Creek front properties are available, and one
subdivision offers a private landing strip as an amenity. Prices
range from $80,000s to $300,000 or more.
Easily accessible to all these
communities is Hobby Airport, named for the late William P. Hobby,
former Texas governor. Close by, too, is Ellington Air Base, a
training base used by NASA, the U.S. Army Reserve, and the Coast
Guard.
