Freeport is a medium-sized coastal city (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Texas. With a population of 10,550 people and three associated neighborhoods, Freeport is the 238th largest community in Texas.
The city is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Freeport has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Freeport a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
One of the nice things about Freeport is that it is nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays.

As is often the case in a small city, Freeport doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
