Beaumont is an affordable, riverfront city with a lively historic downtown, a strong local arts scene (Art Museum of Southeast Texas), and a busy healthcare sector—making it an easy, comfortable place to call home during multi-week contracts. You’ll find cozy cafes, regional festivals, and quick access to outdoor escapes like the Big Thicket and nearby Gulf Coast beaches.
Within an easy drive are Port Arthur (about 20 miles) and Lake Charles, LA (about 50 miles), which add dining, nightlife and weekend casino/coastal options.
