I agree with the others. The Baytown area wouldn't be my first pick in places to be in the water due to the petrochemical plants. I wouldn't reccomend the east side of town at all. If you want to be on the water, try closer to the Gulf like Kemah, League City, Dickinson, etc. However, you will have quite the commute. Lake Houston has a bad reputation for being kinda yukky but I've seen several reports that indicate it has been cleaned up.

If you're going to be working on the NE side and you're willing to make the commute from Baytown, Lake Livingston or Lake Conroe wouldn't be much worse IMHO.
