Baytown, TX and East Houston Area Realtor - Troy Tomlinson

26/09/2026

New price: $499,999 | 2266 FM 1008 in Dayton, TX

Outgrown your current home and the yard that comes with it?

This property gives you 4 unrestricted acres, a 2,680-square-foot home with 3 oversized bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, and space to make plans that won’t fit on a typical neighborhood lot.

There are two large shops for equipment or projects, a climate-controlled hobby studio, a 5-stall barn, chicken coops, an orchard, multiple RV hookups, and a covered patio where you can sit back and enjoy it all. Inside, you’ll find farmhouse character, a formal dining room, and two kitchens.

If your next chapter involves animals, hobbies, an RV, or simply more breathing room for your family, this is one to see in person. No HOA, MUD, or PID.

Already own a home and wondering how to make the move? I’ll help you look at your current home’s value and map out the next step.

Comment “DAYTON” and I’ll send you the listing!

Some homes make you wonder what’s around the next corner. This one in Highlands, Texas, kept surprising me. 🏡

You walk into an open living, kitchen, and dining area with room to gather. There’s also a formal dining room for the meals that call for everyone to sit down together. The primary suite is downstairs, along with a game room you could use in all kinds of ways.

Then there’s a separate space with its own bedroom, closet, and full bathroom—something I know a lot of families are looking for when they want loved ones close by.

Take the spiral staircase upstairs, and you’ll find two more bedrooms with large closets and a spacious bathroom. One of those bedrooms even has its own exterior access.

Outside, the large lot gives you room to spread out, and that beautiful tree is hard to miss. 🌳 There’s a two-car garage with an extra storage nook, too.

I’d list the moments our current house makes harder—working, homework, dinner, storage. That tells me what the next house actually needs to fix. If you own a home in Baytown and you’re starting to look at bigger houses, pause before you make a list of bedrooms and square footage.

I’d start with the moments your current home makes harder. Is someone working at the dinner table? Are backpacks and sports gear taking over the entry? Does everyone need the kitchen at the same time?

Those answers tell me more about the home you need next than “we want more space.”

Follow me if you’re trying to figure out what your next home should actually fix.

🚨 HAVE YOU SEEN THE SIGNS GOING UP AT SAN JACINTO MARKETPLACE?! 👀🏗️

After YEARS of hearing about what would replace the old San Jacinto Mall, it’s finally starting to feel REAL.

The buildings are up. The signs are going up. And we have an updated tenant list! 🙌

If you grew up around Baytown, it’s crazy watching a property where so many of us spent time as kids turn into something completely new.

🛍️ HERE’S WHAT’S COMING:

🛒 Sam’s Club
🏠 HomeGoods
🛍️ Burlington
🛋️ Havertys
📚 Barnes & Noble
💵 Five Below
👗 Ross
⚾ Dick’s Sporting Goods
👔 Men’s Wearhouse
💪 EōS Fitness
🥩 Texas Roadhouse
🍔 Bubba’s 33
🦷 Aspen Dental
🥯 Einstein Bros. Bagels
🥪 Potbelly Sandwich Works
🍗 Pluckers Wing Bar

And we’re NOT DONE! 👀

The latest site plan still shows multiple spaces as LEASE PENDING, plus additional available spaces.

AND…

🍔🍟 IN-N-OUT IS COMING NEXT DOOR!

It’s planned for the property immediately next to San Jacinto Marketplace on Garth Road.

But here’s something else to think about…

Several businesses are relocating from existing locations around Baytown. That means we’re also going to have EMPTY BUILDINGS around town that need NEW tenants. 👀

It’s basically commercial real estate musical chairs. 😂

🏗️ New development gets tenants.
🚚 Existing businesses move.
🏢 Old locations become available.
🤞 Hopefully NEW businesses take their place!

So San Jacinto Marketplace could end up bringing change to a LOT more than just the old mall property.

After years of waiting, Baytown is finally watching the next chapter happen in real time. ❤️

👇 With new spaces at the Marketplace AND buildings opening up around town, what store or restaurant do YOU want to see come to Baytown next?
