FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER
The Bay Area is going back to themoon
but did you know it is only halfway built out? Like most communities in Texas, League City’s housing market has ebbed and owed, but o cials said it is on an upswing. As most of you know, a tragic boating accident took the life of one of the biggest hearts in our community in early June. Clear Creek ISD board member Chris Reed touched the lives of so many in our area. Chris volunteered for too many organiza- tions to mention, and he has le a legacy that will be hard to match. Chris strongly believed in making a di erence in our community by helping others. We all need to be more like him.
We all know how important the John- son Space Center is to our local economy. Our community has grown immensely over the years, and one of the biggest drivers of that is the aerospace industry. As NASA returns to the moon, we take a look at how the space center will be involved in training astronauts, develop- ing and testing technology, and commu- nicating with those on the moon. All this brings new jobs and an economic boost to our area. As part of our annual Real Estate Edition, our other lead story is about League City’s housing market. The city’s population has been exploding for years,

Residents of Clear Lake and League City have likely heard the term “master-planned community” dozens of times, as there are several in the area. Unlike regular neighborhoods, a master-planned community features more than the basic neighbor- hood park. It includes trails, nature centers, golf courses, retail and other amenities that contribute to the o -heard live, work and play appeal of the area. In our Real Estate Edition this month, we take a look at where some of the growth is happening regarding new homes in the Bay Area, and it should come as no surprise that master-planned commu- nities are among the subdivisions with new home starts in the area. Master-planned communities—such as Coastal Point, Magnolia Creek and Tuscan Lakes—are expected to add hundreds of homes in the next few years the housing market continues its upswing. For more on real estate trends, insight from experts and data on the local market, be sure to check out our Real Estate Edition starting on Page . What is amaster-planned community?
