Wallisville Real Estate

Small town hospitality is Wallisville's greatest natural resource, with a population just over 1,500 residents. Like an invigorating Gulf Coast breeze, the vast undeveloped open spaces of Wallisville, Texas are a welcome change of scenery for commuters heading east on I-10. Located just 35 miles east of downtown Houston in Chambers County, Wallisville lies just beyond the towering refineries that characterize Houston's east I-10 corridor. Chambers County is located in the Gulf Coast region of Texas and is surrounded by the industrial cities of Beaumont, Port Arthur, and the eastern portion of the Houston metropolitan area.

The western section of Chambers County borders Baytown and is dominated by the industrial city of Mont Belvieu. Though Wallisville's close proximity to Mont Belvieu and the large industrial job base it provides doesn't hurt, Wallisville is the perfect bedroom community for those who prefer to take a slower pace at quitting time.

Growth in western Chambers County increased dramatically over the last five years. This is due to the massive refineries in and around Mont Belvieu - which provide no less that 95 percent of the Chambers County tax base - and to the abundance of cheap land, a low crime rate, excellent schools, and convenient access to the Houston Metro-Area, a mere 20 minutes away. The median home value in Wallisville hovers around $125,000.

Wallisville and the west Chambers County region, offer a business climate compatible with the high-quality of life its residents demand. In addition, Wallisville takes its historical heritage seriously. As part of its mission to preserve the city's history, the Wallisville Heritage Park was established in the 1970's. The park is dedicated to preserving, restoring, and studying the Wallisville Town-site and the El Orcoquisacqv Archeological District, two sites on the National Register of Historic Places in Texas. Chambers County itself possesses 40 state-recognized Historical Markers, as well as museums and libraries providing information on the complex history of the area.

Recreational activities such as bird-watching, boating, fishing, hunting, camping, and other outdoor activities occur daily due to the mild climate, lakes, beaches, and the wildlife management areas in the county. Major universities, art museums, ballet companies, symphonies, professional sports, and cultural facilities offer enriching opportunities to area residents and visitors.
