Edgewater ~ The Gateway to Clear Lake
Clear Lake is where Houstonians go to relax, unwind, and have a little fun on the water.
The lake and its tributaries are a hub for recreational activities, while its access to Galveston Bay makes it a major yachting and sailing destination, and a great place for fresh seafood and waterfront nightlife.
The State has named Clear Lake
the "Boating Capital of Texas."
The Clear Lake area is made up of a cluster of small towns, and Webster is the gateway. Conveniently located just 25 miles south of downtown Houston, near Interstate 45, known locally as the Gulf Freeway, the 130-year old town was historically known for most of its history as fertile ground for growing rice.
Now, Webster is home to Edgewater -- the Clear Lake area's most anticipated waterfront master-planned community. Families enjoy palm tree-lined streets, the serenity of a 50-acre nature preserve and Texas-sized sunsets on Clear Creek.
