Alvin, Texas, is located in one of the fastest growing regions of America: the Greater Houston Metropolitan Area. Located between the main city of Houston to the north and the Gulf Coast to the south, Alvin enjoys a prime location between work and play while providing excellent opportunities for those wishing to raise a family in a safe and clean environment.

Originally a ranching town for the cattle industry in the 19th century, Alvin has undergone many transformations throughout its history. By the 20th century, the city had experienced a significant boom riding the wake of Houston's rise to prominence. New industries like an ice factory, pickle works, cotton gin, banks, and hotels, all sprang up in the city limits. The expansion of the city's notable school system included a community college that opened a campus in 1963.

Today, the population sits at 21,000 people in a quiet location at the crossroads of two major state routes. The cities of Houston and Pasadena are both within a 30 minute drive, while the lush island of Galveston is only 30 minutes to the coast.

Alvin is a fantastic place in Southern Texas to raise a family in a small-town atmosphere with rich urban amenities close by in the massive metro area of Houston.
