Situated just 21 miles north of Beaumont off of U.S. Highway 96, Silsbee provides a quaint setting for anyone in search of small-town charm in the Gulf Coast area of Texas. Largely residential, Silsbee lacks a prominent city center, but holds a variety of incredible homes and apartment rentals among the tree-lined streets that branch off from 5th Street and Avenue N. Silsbee is a prominent rest stop for truckers and tourists coming from the Gulf, so you’ll find plenty of familiar eateries and shops scattered around the area. Just to the north lies a number of wildlife preserves and state forests, while the beaches and attractions near the water are just a 30-minute drive south.
