Farm to Market Road 270, or FM 270 or Urban Road 270 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Texas located inside the Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown metropolitan area. Locally, the road is known as Egret Bay Boulevard.
The short highway travels southeast (parallel to Interstate 45) from NASA Road 1 west of the Johnson Space Center to FM 646 in nearby League City, crossing over Clear Creek and the Galveston County line. At NASA Parkway, it joins with El Camino Real, which extends to FM 2351. The road mainly serves local neighborhoods.
FM 270 begins at an intersection with FM 646 in League City, Galveston County, heading north-northwest on two-lane Egret Bay Boulevard. The road heads past residential areas to the west and fields to the east before passing through more fields and reaching an intersection with SH 96. The highway continues into a mix of residential and commercial areas with some fields and trees. FM 270 becomes a five-lane road with a center left-turn lane and continues through more developed areas, turning northwest and crossing FM 518. The road widens to seven lanes total and passes businesses before heading into wooded areas and crossing the Clear Creek into the Clear Lake City section of Houston in Harris County. FM 270 heads through residential areas before passing commercial establishments and ending at an interchange with NASA Road 1. Past here, the road becomes El Camino Real.
