A gated new-construction community in Dickinson — modern homes, walkable schools, Galveston County value
"Bayou Maison is the rare thing in Dickinson — a gated community of brand-new homes you can still get under $340K. You walk the kids to school, you're behind a gate, and your tax bill is Galveston County, not Harris. That combination is hard to find."
Bayou Maison is a gated new-construction community — not an older established neighborhood. The homes here were built between 2019 and 2025 by Adams Homes (the primary builder), Colina Homes, and Censeo Homes, so nearly everything is brand new or close to it. These are modern single-family floor plans, generally one-story and up, ranging from about 1,503 to 2,335 square feet.
The community takes its name from nearby Dickinson Bayou, and a handful of lots back to a bayou view. But let me be straight with you: this is an inland gated community, not a waterfront one. There are no canals and no boat docks. The real draw is what's inside the gate — new construction, quiet streets, and walking paths that connect to Dickinson ISD campuses, so a lot of families here can walk their kids to school.
Galveston County's tax advantage makes the pricing even more compelling. At $240K–$340K, buyers get a brand-new home behind a gate at prices well below comparable new construction in Harris County — while staying within easy reach of Houston employment, Kemah, and Galveston's coast.
