New Homes in El Lago, TX

Dubbed the “Home of the Astronauts,” El Lago is a suburban lakeside community situated along the western shores of Taylor Lake.

A Bay Area city, El Lago gained its reputation as an enclave of astronauts when Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong relocated to the neighborhood in the 1960s. Since then, several other astronauts have moved to El Lago to be closer to the NASA Space Center.

Another interesting tidbit about El Lago is that according to local legend the community once served as one of the main hideouts of notorious pirate and Privateer Jean Lafitte. This was back in 19th century, when pirates sailed the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and looted the surrounding areas for treasure.
