About El Lago
El Lago ("the lake") is a tiny waterfront city of roughly 3,000 residents wrapped around Taylor Lake where it meets Clear Lake, minutes from NASA's Johnson Space Center. It is a boater's town — marinas, sailboats, and lake-view homes define the housing stock, which mixes mid-century ranch homes with newer waterfront builds.
