Moving to Our Region

Southeast Texas is a great place to live and work.  It’s a great combination offering larger city amenities, but with a small town feel.

Beaumont is the hub of the area and has approximately 120,000 people.  Beaumont and surrounding communities in Southeast Texas are considered the "Golden Triangle", with a population of approximately 450,000. The “Golden” comes from the wealth and opportunity from the oil boom of the early 1900’s and continues through today.  The larger communities form a geographical triangle when viewed from above.

For shopping, you can’t beat Southeast Texas.  From a large shopping mall to strip centers with chain stores to chic and unique boutiques...this area has it all.  And if you want good food, well, you will never go hungry.  From local flavors like Tex-Mex, Cajun, seafood and steakhouses to a wide array of ethnic foods, there are flavors for all tastes. 

Southeast Texas is blessed with a long season for outdoor activities.  Warm weather prevails throughout most of the year and there are private clubs and public areas for tennis, golf, horseback riding, biking, running, water skiing, and much more.  For sportsmen, close proximity to East Texas piney woods, the Gulf of Mexico, salt water marshes and world class fresh water lakes allows for incredible salt and fresh water fishing, along with duck, deer, and other wild game hunting opportunities.

For the arts enthusiast, you can enjoy the sounds of our symphony, tour numerous art museums and historic sites, take in a movie or concert at the stunning Jefferson Theater, or go to the ballet at the Julie Rogers Theater. 

Southeast Texas’ economy remains strong.  Numerous refineries bring in employees from all over the world.  Also, Beaumont serves as a medical hub for Southeast Texas and attracts medical talent in every field.  Furthermore, the Port of Beaumont is one of the busiest in the nation and has plans to further deepen and widen the shipping channel, bringing in even more industry.  The port, medical and petro chemical business weave throughout and strengthen our economy on all levels.

It’s no surprise that our housing market is very brisk at this time. Southeast Texas has houses and acreage to meet every taste.  From first time buyers just getting started, to executives and professionals looking for a showplace we have it all.  We even have a place for those looking for acreage for those looking for peace and quiet in the county.  Our diverse housing market is sure to please every taste.
