Friendswood consists of traditional values, excellent housing, low crime rate, and quality education, which continues to attract new families to the community. The city is situated among beautiful parks, natural trails, and a championship golf course. More than half of the city's residents are employed in executive, professional, and managerial positions.
The lifestyle of the Friendswood area is a bit more relaxed than the west side of Pearland and certainly more so than the Houston metro area.

Most if not all of the Harris County side of Friendswood is assigned to the Clear Creek School District while the Galveston County side is assigned to Friendswood School District.
