Bay Colony
Suburban Neighborhood in League City, Texas
Galveston County 77539
Bay Colony is a newer established neighborhood, says Melissa Forbes, a Realtor with UTR-Texas Realtors who has lived in the area her entire life and has been selling homes for 17 years. “It's a good location because you’re halfway to Downtown Houston or halfway to the beach,” Forbes says. “You’re out of the city but still in the center of both places.”
The area has 1970s and 1980s traditional-style homes ranging from $250,000 to $300,000, with some having polished lawns and woody, forested backyards and others having large, lush green front yards and long driveways. Bay Colony offers housing for many first-time home buyers, says Kimberly Harding, Broker owner of RE/MAX Synergy. “I’ve sold to many first-time home buyers, specifically young families,” says Harding. “The neighborhood is within walking distance of many elementary schools, making it enticing for them.”
Children attend Bay Colony Elementary School, which has a B-plus from Niche and a 14:1 student-to-teacher ratio. They have the option of advancing to Dunbar Middle School, which has a C-plus from Niche. Students can move on to Dickinson High School, which is ranked by Niche in the top 210 for best high schools for athletes in Texas and has a B from Niche.
After a long workday, play your favorite sport in the many sports fields offered at Bayridge Park. Or head to Hometown Heroes Park, where your kids can adventure on the playground or participate in one of the programs that their recreation center offers, like swimming. A 5K loop and dog park are also in the works at this park. For now, take your dog to Bark Park at Countryside, a 3-acre dog park with lots of obstacles for your dog to jump through.
Drive down Interstate 145 to reach Bay Colony Town Center, a shopping center with 89 stores, including Kohl’s, Memorial Herman Care Center and H-E-B fresh foods store and pharmacy. Get more grocery shopping done at Target Grocery, where you can also buy your favorite candles, blankets, or Stanley water bottles. When cooking sounds too tedious, put in an order for some comfort food at 888 Chinese Restaurant. Or sit down at Los Ramirez Mexican Restaurant, where you can enjoy a quick bite to eat.
Take a day trip on the weekend to Kemah Boardwalk, which is only 10 miles from town and has carnival rides, food, and live music in the summer. “There are events held all year round, including a haunted house during Halloween,” says Forbes. Colony Bay is located 23 miles from Galveston Beach, where you can take a quick vacation and go fishing on the pier or take advantage of the two amusement parks there. There are also concerts held during the summer on the Lagoon in Galveston, Forbes said. In Bay Colony’s community, convenience is a fundamental part of life.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
