Located along Sabine Lake off the Gulf Coast, Port Arthur is a historic city first established by the Atakapa Tribe. In modern times, Port Arthur is most notable for being a seaport and the home of the Motiva refinery, the largest oil refinery in North America. This seaport town is a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial developments. Restaurants and businesses line Twin City Highway and Highway 287 while the other parts of the city are made up of houses sitting on spacious lots and wide-open lands. Renters have a range of affordable apartments and single-family homes to choose from.
Outdoor adventure abounds in Port Arthur thanks to the lake and coast. Massive nature preserves like Big Hill Bayou Wildlife Management Area and Candy Cain Abshier Wildlife Area are just a couple nearby places where residents can partake in outdoor recreation.
