Anahuac poised for growth as residents eye future builds
Local realtor Mary Dunn says Anahuac is growing like nearby Baytown and West Chambers County, citing a country town vibe, good schools, proximity to plants, Trinity Bay fishing, birding and parks. Census data show small population gains from 2010 to 2015 and rising land purchases around White Heron Estates. Mayor Cheryl Sanders notes forthcoming renovations and active land purchases, signaling renewed development.
