Southdown Subdivison In Pearland

Recommended Posts

There seems to be a story with every subdivision. We are looking for a starter home and have noticed that Southdown has resonable priced homes.

I know it can flood anywhere, but has this subdivison flooded regularly? Crime?

Whatever info would help. TIA

I think Southdown just located south of flood plain. If there is a Clear Creek flood, the subdivision of Country place will be flooded first. For flood plain in Pearland please use this link, remember local drainage problems induced flood is not shown as flood plain.

Pearland flood plain on page 7 of the website and more interesting flood info on page 5, 6 and 8

PDF format REQUIRED Pearland flood plain--Go to page 7

Crimes in pearland are low. Southdown was annexed into the City of Pearland just this year and it receives full city service including police.

I've lived in Southdown for about 1.5 years now. So far, it has been a great starter neighborhood -- plus, if you get a 2-story in the newer part (Oaks of Southdown), your backyard is HUGE. If you're not big on grass, of course, this isn't a plus. But, if you have a husband that is fascinated with swimming pools, this opens up all sorts of possibilites...

We haven't had any problems with crime or flooding. There are a LOT of kids in the neighborhood, so the potential for crime is there. I've have seen one act of vandalism since I've been there -- a policeman's car (of all things) was vandalized while it was parked in front of his home. In the past year, I've also read (in the newsletter) about at least 2 instances of people's houses being burglarized.

The (adult) people in the neighborhood are very conscientious. Everyone is pretty friendly with everyone else and you'll have no problem finding someone to pick up newspapers and water plants if you have to go out of town.

As an indication of how many kids are in the neighborhood - we went through $40 worth of candy this Halloween and get hit up at least twice a month for some fundraiser or another. Of course, everyone could just be steering their kids to the house of the people without kids...

Other pluses off of the top of my head:

  • Established neighborhood, so low HOA dues
  • MUD was dissolved at the end of 2005
  • 2 parks (one just outside of neighborhood on Smith Ranch Rd) and a community pool
  • good access to 288 & Beltway 8
  • very racially diverse

That's all that I can think of right now...
