What it’s like to live in Southbelt Ellington
Aerospace proximity defines Southbelt/Ellington, where Houston's southeastern community surrounds both Ellington Field and NASA's Johnson Space Center. The district features modest mid-century homes and newer planned developments with surprising space compared to central Houston options. Though requiring vehicle ownership, the strategic positioning between Clear Lake recreation, Galveston beaches, and specialized aerospace employment creates ideal balance for households connected to aviation or space industries seeking both work proximity and weekend leisure access without corresponding premium pricing found in waterfront communities.
