Shoreacres/La Porte TX History

The history of Shoreacres subdivision in La Porte can be traced back to the early 1950s. At the time, the area was undeveloped. In 1952, a group of developers purchased the land and began planning a new subdivision. The name Shoreacres came from the beautiful views of the Gulf Coast that could be seen from the property.

The first homes in Shoreacres were built in 1953. The subdivision was designed to be a quiet community. The developers took steps to ensure that it would remain that way. They imposed strict rules and regulations on the homeowners association (HOA). This included requirements for things like home size, landscaping, and exterior paint colors.

Shoreacres became a popular destination for families. The schools in the area were rated above average. There were also many parks and playgrounds for children to enjoy. The subdivision was also located close to the beach, so families could enjoy swimming, fishing, and boating.

The subdivision continued to grow in the 1960s and 1970s. By the end of the 1970s, there were about 200 homes in Shoreacres. The subdivision has remained unchanged since then, and it remains popular today.
