Shadow Creek Ranch

Shadow Creek Ranch is a master planned community in Pearland, Texas, United States. Shadow Creek Ranch, which has 3,500 acres (1,400 ha) of space, is west of State Highway 288, south of Beltway 8, and about 10 miles (16 km) from the Texas Medical Center.

Shadow Creek Ranch, the largest master planned community in Pearland, is a bedroom community for commuters to Houston. The construction of State Highway 288 led to the development of Shadow Creek Ranch. The master planned community has experienced solid population growth due to its proximity to Downtown Houston.

The City of Pearland annexed areas that are now Shadow Creek Ranch in 1996, 1997, and 1998.

The community is being developed by the Shadow Creek Ranch Development Co. In 2001 sales of houses in Shadow Creek Ranch began. In June 2001 four lakes were created and 600 acres (240 ha) of land were excavated as part of the first phase of development. One of the companies that built 300 of the original houses was Perry Homes.

In 2014 the Houston Business Journal, in its Most Active Residential Communities List, ranked Shadow Creek Ranch as number six.

The plans call for there to be about 12,000 housing units, including 6,200 single-family houses, when the development is fully built out. The lakes are scheduled to take up 300 acres (120 ha) of land.

As of 2007 the housing prices range from $150,000 to $1 million. That year, David Goswick, a real estate advisor for the development, stated that the average sale price was $249,955.

In October 2016 the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) identified the Blue Ridge Landfill as being the source of an odor along a section of SCR. The City of Pearland planned to hold a meeting on it in 2017.
