Mostly Resale Homes

Only about 4 of the 184 homes for sale are new construction (from about $593,000). Most listings are in established neighborhoods, so the inspection matters: roof, A/C, foundation, plumbing and drainage. See also our West Ranch neighborhood guide.

Schools: Friendswood ISD or Clear Creek ISD

Friendswood ISD serves the part of the city south of Clear Creek, in Galveston County. Clear Creek ISD serves the part north of Clear Creek, in Harris County. Because the creek divides the districts, confirm the zoned schools for a specific address with the district before you make an offer.

Taxes: Galveston or Harris County

Friendswood lies in two counties: the northwestern corner of Galveston County, and Harris County north of Clear Creek. The county, appraisal district and school district all depend on which side of the creek the home is on. Some neighborhoods also pay a MUD tax.

Flood and Insurance

Clear Creek runs through Friendswood. For any home you like, check the flood zone on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center, read the seller's flood disclosure, ask about past flooding, and get insurance quotes early. Standard homeowner policies do not cover flood. More: flood zones and flood insurance in Houston and Pearland.

Down Payment Help
