Never before has a true master planned community been so close to everything yet so removed from the hustle and bustle of city. Minutes from the hustle and bustle of the city. A short drive from every major economic and entertainment destination in Houston, Shadow Creek Ranch offers a priceless commodity: time.

With the recent revitalization of downtown, the city's central business, entertainment and cultural district has come alive as thousands of people flock to the new restaurants, clubs and theaters that now line the streets. 

While just a hop, skip and a short commute from all Houston has to offer, Shadow Creek Ranch is officially located within the city limits of Pearland, Texas. 

Pearland became a siding switch onthe Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway in 1882. The community was first named Mark Belt, when a post office was established in 1893. The name was changed to Pearland in November of that year because of the abundance of pear trees in the community.

Today, Pearland is a "booming" suburb of the Greater Houston Metropolitan Area. With a growing economy and a continuously expanding population, Pearland has been at the top of the charts for the greatest number of housing starts for several years in a row.

Located approximately 20 minutes south of downtown Houston, Its close proximity to the Texas Medical Center, Houston Ship Channel, NASA's Johnson Space Center, and Houston's Hobby Airport puts Pearland businesses at a competitive advantage.

So, if it's hustle and bustle you want, you will find it in downtown Houston.  Home to the Houston Astros and Minute Maid Park, The Wortham Theater, Alley Theatre, Jones Hall and Toyota Arena, future home of the two-time NBA Champion Houston Rockets and four-time WNBA Houston Comets, downtown offers something for everyone.  As a resident of Shadow Creek Ranch, all this and more is just a hop, skip and a short drive down Hwy. 288!
