Are you looking for a weekend getaway - or - a place to retire with an unhurried pace and the southern friendly way of life? Located just 80 miles southwest of Houston, Harborside at Matagorda is a place where neighbors care about each other and their community. The unincorporated township boasts a rich history and is a popular destination for birders, sport fishermen and Gulf fun activities. Founded in 1836, Matagorda is a place where a handshake is still as good as a written contract and Sunday dinner with the family is a tradition. There are 4 churches, an elementary school, a library, 2 grocery stores and a diverse mix of shopping, dining and entertainment.

Harborside at Matagorda provides the perfect access to 22 miles of pristine beach, East & West Matagorda Bays, the Colorado River and the Gulf of Mexico. Matagorda Harbor is nearby and the 1600 acre LCRA (Lower Colorado River Authority) Nature Park, at the mouth of the Colorado River, is just minutes away. Lots are located within the Matagorda protection levee providing storm protection and lower insurance rates.
