About Richwood

Richwood is a quiet, tree-filled community in Brazoria County, tucked right between Lake Jackson and Clute. Home to around 5,000 residents, it offers a relaxed small-town feel while keeping you within minutes of the Gulf Coast. Oyster Creek and Bastrop Bayou wind right along the edges of town, giving neighborhoods a scenic backdrop with plenty of spots nearby for fishing and kayaking.

Living in Richwood means having everyday conveniences close at hand. Students attend schools in the Brazosport Independent School District, and Brazosport College is just down the road. Highway 288 makes for an easy commute to major employers in Freeport, as well as the shopping, restaurants, and medical centers in Lake Jackson. When you want to unwind, the sandy beaches at Surfside are only a short twenty-minute drive from your front door.
