Pearland ISD is the primary district, with a GreatSchools average around 6/10. Parts of Pearland fall into Alvin ISD and Fort Bend ISD. Pearland ISD's board adopted a $1.1350 rate for FY2026-27 (M&O $0.7869 plus I&S $0.3481), producing an estimated tax bill near $3,307 on an average residence with market value around $446,000.
Pearland's growth engine is its access to the Texas Medical Center via Beltway 8 — healthcare workers, young families and professionals priced out of inner-loop neighborhoods. The city has ranked among the fastest-growing in the U.S. for much of the past decade. Median household income is about $111,123 with unemployment near 3.2% (Census ACS).
Pearland has been the fastest-growing suburb in the Houston metro for years, and its tenant pool reflects that: medical professionals commuting up Highway 288 to the Texas Medical Center, NASA-adjacent engineers, and families drawn by Alvin ISD and Pearland ISD. Median asking rent is $2,338, up 4.9% year over year — one of the stronger annual gains among Houston suburbs — with a 42-day median time on market, among the fastest. Tenants here tend to be higher-income and to stay longer than the metro average.
| Segment | Median asking rent | Where you see it |

| 3BR / 2BA single-family | $2,100 | Old Pearland, Sunrise Lakes, Southern Trails |
| 2BR townhome / condo | $1,700 | Pearland Town Center area |
| Duplex, per side | $1,450 | Old Pearland, Broadway corridor |
Asking-rent bands reflect current listings and recently executed leases across our Pearland portfolio and public market sources; segment medians are compiled from the two, so treat them as an indicative range rather than an appraisal. Headline market figures: Realtor.com Research (Louisiana, July 2026) and Doorstead Houston-metro market data (July 2026); HUD FY2026 Small Area Fair Market Rents for the Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land metro. The cards further up this page blend bedrooms and property types across our own portfolio, so they will not match a segment median exactly — your free rental analysis uses live comparables for your specific address and updates this report monthly.

State law sets the floor. County, parish, city and private covenants stack on top of it — and in Pearland the layer that catches owners out is usually the last one.
How we handle this in practice. Pearland's 2026 short-term rental reversal is the clearest example on our corridor of why we check the zoning before we check the rent roll. Several owners we spoke to were mid-purchase on homes being underwritten as Airbnb properties in residential districts — a business model that stopped being legal two days after the council vote. Long-term underwriting was unaffected.
Regulations change and municipal desks read them differently street by street — always confirm the current requirement for the specific address with the city, parish or county before you rely on it. We run compliance for every property we manage, including registration renewals, annual alarm checks and the paperwork trail that decides a deposit dispute.
Three engagements from our Pearland portfolio. Addresses are withheld at the owners' request; figures are as executed.
A 2016 build with an open plan and a three-car garage, which in that subdivision is the whole product. Priced against same-vintage, same-garage comps rather than the subdivision average — eleven applications in a week and a signed 24-month lease.
A nurse practitioner relocating from out of state on a fixed start date. Fully remote screening, digital lease, and a 24-month term that let the owner skip the next turnover cycle entirely.
A 1980s duplex on the Broadway corridor that had been priced as a single-family. We marketed both sides separately to commuter tenants, corrected the zoning and school details in the listing, and had both signed inside three weeks.
