Kingwood is a master-planned community located just 20 miles north of downtown Houston and three miles north of Humble. More than 61,000 residents live in the livable forest of Kingwood. Each village of Kingwood is unique with its own amenities such as pools and trails for biking and jogging. The villages are all connected by greenbelts and parks that create a very serene, secluded environment - a refreshing escape from the rapid pace of city life.
Many professional people have traded their commutes into Houston for office space in one of the numerous professional buildings. What better way to live, than to work and play within a short distance of home. The Humble Independent School District serves the Kingwood area and rates as one of the best academic districts in the Houston region. Lone Star College District serves the greater Humble area with our own Kingwood Campus.
The family-oriented community offers fun and recreation of everyone. Without leaving Kingwood you can play seven golf courses, launch your boat in Lake Houston, play a round of tennis, watch your children participate in organized sports, and go for a horseback ride through the stately pine forest.
