The well-balanced community of Clute offers yet another living choice in the greater "Brazosport" area. Although Houston is just 50 miles from home, residents have many opportunities for employment in the area's thriving industrial base. Welcoming neighborhoods offer housing in a variety of architectural styles and prices ranges, while an active Parks & Recreation Department ensures first-rate facilities for recreation and relaxation. Special events like the Great Texas Mosquito Festival, Harvest Fun Fest, and Christmas in the Park are evidence of the small-town spirit that draws newcomers to this growing area. Covering nearly 5,000 acres, Brazos Bend State Park is a natural paradise that encourages an array of outdoor adventures.
