• HIGH PERFORMING SCHOOLS: Some Top Greater Houston Schools serve Pearland homes, including Silverlake Elementary, Shady Crest Elementary, and Friendswood Junior High School, among others. Pearland ISD serves the majority of homes in the city, though other districts covering the area include Houston, Pasadena, Clear Creek, Alvin, and Fort Bend.
• QUICK COMMUTES TO DOWNTOWN: The city’s location just south of Beltway 8 and along South Freeway gives residents relatively easy commutes to key areas in Houston. Downtown Houston has more than 150,000 workers employed by 3,500+ businesses.
• LARGE LOTS: Pearland homes tend to sit on mid- to large-sized lots by Houston standards. Lot areas range from 6,000 to upwards of 15,000 square feet.
• GROWING REAL ESTATE MARKET: Pearland property prices have been on the steady rise in the last 10 years. New construction master-planned communities and other new development tend to push prices up.

Despite its continued growth, development within Pearland is uneven. This has made the local housing market a bit challenging to navigate. Other factors that contribute to this tricky market include the sheer size of the city (which can be a speed bump in choosing the best community), varying school zoning, and accessibility, among others. It is also important to note that while median sales price is rising, land values are dropping.

Pearland TX History

Like Katy, Pearland’s roots can be traced back to a railroad.

In 1861, the Houston, Tap and Brazoria Railroad Company (HT & BRR) applied for a land grant in what is now a thriving, mostly residential city. After the Civil War, the railroad was left in such a bad shape that it was abandoned. Ownership changed hands a few times, until the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad Company secured the rights to the tracks.

The area now known as Pearland used to be called “Mark Belt”, named for a local landowner.

In 1892, Polish nobleman Withold von Zychlinski bought a large parcel of land and set up a town site on both sides of the train tracks. To further promote the area’s home sites, fruit trees were planted around the area. By 1894, “Pear-Land” was officially platted.

Today, Pearland is home to more than 100,000 residents. About 80 percent of the city is residential, with a number of master-planned communities within its borders.
