Community Guide
Nassau Bay, TX
Nassau Bay sits directly against Johnson Space Center — a small, incorporated waterfront city built in the early 1960s specifically to house NASA personnel, and still closely tied to that identity today.
Lifestyle
Small, waterfront, and NASA-adjacent.
Nassau Bay is bordered by Clear Creek and the head of Clear Lake — roughly a third of the city's total area is water, making it genuinely waterfront by geography, not just by name. It was planned in 1962 and incorporated in 1970, originally designed as an upscale residential area for NASA personnel relocating from around the country, and that history still shapes the community's character.
