Pearce on the Lake is an apartment community at 900 Henderson Ave, Houston, TX 77058, in the Clear Lake area near NASA Parkway and Space Center Houston. For renters searching for Apartments Near Space Center Houston, this address keeps home within the same ZIP code as the official visitor center for NASA Johnson Space Center. Current drive times are worth checking at the time of your tour, because NASA Parkway, Bay Area Boulevard, and nearby school and visitor traffic can change noticeably by day and hour.
Space Center Houston is not just a tourist stop. It is the official visitor center for NASA Johnson Space Center, with spaceflight exhibits, astronaut-related programming, and tram tours that operate based on NASA access and scheduling. Living nearby can matter if your week includes NASA Johnson Space Center, aerospace employers and contractors in Clear Lake, University of Houston-Clear Lake, San Jacinto College Central, or frequent guests who want to spend a day at the center without making a cross-town trip.
The area is built around practical car access. NASA Parkway, Bay Area Boulevard, Space Center Boulevard, El Camino Real, and the Gulf Freeway (I-45) are the main corridors residents tend to use for commuting, errands, and weekend plans. From this part of Houston, common destinations include Clear Lake waterfront spots, Baybrook Mall, Armand Bayou Nature Center, Kemah Boardwalk, and the larger employment corridor between League City, Webster, Nassau Bay, and Pasadena.
At home, Pearce on the Lake offers one- and two-bedroom floor plans, so the community works for renters comparing a smaller one-bedroom with more room to spread out or a two-bedroom with a separate office, guest room, or shared layout. Current published plans range from 611 to 1,067 square feet, including A1 and A2 one-bedroom layouts and B1, B2, and B3 two-bedroom layouts. Pricing, availability, deposits, and exact move-in dates change, so those details are best confirmed directly with the leasing office before you apply.
The amenities here are especially relevant if you want a quieter home base after being around NASA Parkway activity. Pearce on the Lake has a waterfront setting, a pool, hot tub, sundeck, poolside grills, walking and biking trails, a fitness center, courtyard, game court, dog park, package lockers, and 24-hour emergency maintenance. Inside the apartments, features may include washer and dryer, air conditioning, heating, ceiling fans, cable readiness, tub/shower, disposal, stainless steel appliances, microwave, pantry, walk-in closets, window coverings, balcony or patio, and a mix of hardwood, carpet, or vinyl flooring depending on the home.
A few interior details are worth asking about before you choose a specific apartment. Select homes may offer lake views, fireplaces, crown molding, or vaulted ceilings, and those can make a real difference in how the home feels day to day. If you have a pet, the community is pet-friendly and includes a dog park, but pet fees, pet rent, breed guidelines, and paperwork should be reviewed with the office so there are no surprises before move-in.
The honest trade-off is that this location is best suited to someone whose routine is centered around Clear Lake, NASA, Webster, League City, or the Bay Area. If most of your week is in Downtown Houston, the Texas Medical Center, the Galleria, or other inner-loop destinations, you should test the commute during your actual travel times before deciding. This is also not the same lifestyle as a dense, highly walkable urban district with nightlife on every block.
If being close to Space Center Houston and the Clear Lake aerospace corridor is a priority, schedule a tour or contact the Pearce on the Lake leasing office to compare available floor plans, confirm current pricing, and ask which homes have the views and features that matter most to you.
