Friendswood Overview

"With a name like Friendswood, it's unsurprising that CNN has dubbed the city one of 100 ""America's Best Places to Live"". A Texas city flush with amenities usually reserved for much larger municipalities, Friendswood is a stone's throw from the hubs of Houston and Galveston, making it an ideal bedroom community for those working in either. "

What is the history of Friendswood?

Founded in 1895, Friendswood was largely a Quaker community during its early days. Strawberries and rice were early crops of the area, although the discovery of oil in the 1930s changed the economic landscape of Friendswood forever. The city officially incorporated in 1960, and the addition of the NASA Space Center nearby shortly after helped Friendswood grow even further.

How is the weather in Friendswood?

Texas summers are typically hot, and Friendswood apartment residents can expect this trait to continue. Humidity from the nearby coast is a constant as well, although the evening breezes tend to offset the stickiness. Spring and winter are quite pleasant, with lower temps and occasional rains.

How do I get around town?

If you live in an apartment in Friendswood, odds are good you will want a personal auto for getting around. Bus service is limited, and the nearby Houston Airport acts as the primary air travel option for the city. Bicycling around town has become popular in recent years, and taxis can also be found when needed.

What is the Friendswood commute like?

Houston commuter traffic can be a frustrating affair, while travel to nearby Galveston is generally fairly fast-moving. Getting around Friendswood proper is usually a breeze, and Interstate 45 acts as the primary roadway for travel in and out of the city.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Friendswood Journal' is the primary longstanding news outlet in the city, and broadcasting largely comes from nearby Houston affiliates. Radio is eclectic, ranging from classical to jazz, talk to modern rock.

Why live in Friendswood, TX?

Steeped in historical relevance, this sleepy bedroom community is a fantastic place for retirees, young budding professionals and families alike. With a charm that harkens to a period of Texas gone past, Friendswood truly lives up to its name by offering a homestead complete with peace of mind and a leisurely pace of life. Close to the job market of Houston as well as the scenic shores of Galeveston, this ever-popular Lone Star State destination is in-demand with good cause.

What Friendswood landmarks should I see?

The Friendswood Post Office is one of the oldest buildings in the city, and the 1776 Park is a fantastic place to walk the dog or read a book. The nearby Fred Hartman Bridge is a hit with history buffs, and the 1902 Perry House offers a glimpse into the city's architectural past.

What is there to do around Friendswood?

The Brown Heritage Museum is a great way to explore the roots of Friendswood, and antique fanatics will for sure want to explore the famous Scrap Shack. Timber Creek Golf is a short drive away, and Best Shot Range will help the budding marksman in your family take their best shot.

Any annual festivals or Friendswood events to know?

Texas Music Fest is far and away the largest annual draw in the city, offering live bands, tasty local food and games of chance. July 4th is an explosive blast of freedom and revelry, complete with a parade, and Halloween offers a spooktacular array of activities and costumes. Large festivals such as Day For Night and The Come and Take It Comedy Festival are also a short drive away from most Friendswood apartments.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

For those wishing to stay somewhat local on their getaway, the nearby NASA Space Center makes a great destination, as does the beach glory of Galveston. For a true road trip hit the relaxing waters of Hot Springs, Arkansas, or head north to Dallas for a weekend of museums, world famous restaurants and live music venues such as Tree's. Of course, Louisiana is right around the bend as well, with Baton Rouge offering a fantastic road trip complete with cajun food delights and that oh-so-famous live jazz.

Where is the best place to move in Friendswood?

A number of Friendswood apartment communities cater to families and on-the-go young professionals, including Forest Creek and Wedgewood Village. Whether you are on the hunt for a luxurious one bedroom unit complete with amenities such as onsite gym and swimming pool, or are simply looking for an economic efficiency close to the on-ramp of I-45, Friendswood apartments come in all shapes and sizes. Good luck with your search for that next perfect place to live in the Lone Star State!
