Kingwood, Texas

Houston's Livable Forest

Known as The Livable Forest, Kingwood offers a lifestyle unlike anywhere else in the Houston area. While officially part of the City of Houston, Kingwood has maintained the atmosphere of a close-knit suburban community surrounded by towering pine trees, wooded greenbelts, and miles of walking and biking trails.

Located along the shores of Lake Houston in northeast Houston, Kingwood was thoughtfully planned around nature. Its extensive park system, neighborhood villages, and strong sense of community have made it one of the area's most desirable places to live for families, professionals, and retirees alike.

For many residents, Kingwood offers the convenience of living within Houston while feeling worlds away from the pace of the city.
