Brookside Village

What secrets does Brookside Village hold? Let’s uncover them together, right here on the edge of this charming Texas town. Brookside Village officially became a city on December 28, 1959. It’s nestled within Brazoria County, but shares its western, southern, and eastern borders with the larger city of Pearland. Interestingly, its northern border bumps right up against Houston, placing Brookside Village in a unique position within the sprawling Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land metropolitan area. Brookside Village covers a modest 2.1 square miles, all land, offering a close-knit community feel. In 2020, the population stood at 1,548, a slight increase from the 1,523 residents counted in 2010. Imagine strolling through Brookside Village today. You might encounter families heading to E. A. Lawhon Elementary School, the only school located within the village itself. Older students travel a bit further, attending middle and junior high schools in Pearland. Depending on which side of Roy Road they live on, high school students are zoned to either Pearland High School or Glenda Dawson High School, both also in Pearland. Before Dawson High School opened in 2007, all Brookside Village students attended Pearland High. For higher education, residents have access to Alvin Community College. For bookworms, the nearby Pearland Library, part of the Brazoria County Library System, offers a wealth of resources. Brookside Village isn’t just about schools and libraries. The 2018 census estimates painted a picture of the village’s financial landscape. The median household income was a comfortable $75,234, with a median rent of $1,064. This data offers a glimpse into the lives of those who call Brookside Village home. Brookside Village offers its residents a blend of small-town charm and big-city access. Its location on the edge of Houston allows residents to enjoy the peace of a smaller community while remaining connected to the vibrant energy of a major metropolitan area.
