Nassau Bay is at the epicenter of manned space exploration past, present and future – the gateway to the Johnson Space Center and Space Center Houston. Many of NASA's space pioneers, whose vision sent man to the moon 40 years ago and their successors who followed in the Space Shuttle program, call Nassau Bay home.
With its eye to the future, our beautiful small town is surrounded on three sides by some of the best fishing, birding and boating waters in the United States. Boats launched from Nassau Bay can access the waters of the world through Galveston Bay to the Gulf of Mexico.
Nassau Bay has broken ground on an exciting new chapter in its development. New office buildings, upscale retail shopping/dining/entertainment in Nassau Bay Town Square, a new Marriott Hotel and a luxury apartment mid-rise opening by Spring of 2010, are all part of our bright new future. These additions to our enviable arts, restaurant, retail, medical and technical business communities will help keep Nassau Bay as the dynamic center of Bay Area Houston.
Our residents enjoy all the benefits of life in a world-class city without sacrificing our old fashioned commitment to family, friends and community. Annual events, including the Ballunar Festival, Holiday in the Park, the Halloween Carnival and the Fourth of July picnic and parade, bring neighbors together in friendship.
Nassau Bay is physically and culturally located mid-way between Houston's dynamic multi-industry business capital and the laid-back lifestyle of Galveston's Gulf beaches. It offers visitors and residents the perfect combination of access to big city hustle and bustle, arts and amenities and resort-style waterfront living.
