Hunterwood Homes for Rent

Hunterwood, a small neighborhood 12 miles from downtown Houston, is a suburban community known for its proximity to energy production facilities like NRG Energy's Greens Bayou Generating Station. This makes it a convenient location for industrial workers, with major plants such as ExxonMobil and Shell situated further east. The neighborhood's affordability and central location are appealing to homebuyers. Although Hunterwood lacks walkability and public transportation, it benefits from access to major roads, including Route 90 and Beltway 8, allowing a 20-minute drive to downtown Houston via Interstate 10, though traffic can be heavy. Grocery shopping options include Joe V's Smart Shop and Food Town on Wallisville Road, while The Shops at Stone Park offers big-box retailers. Dining features a mix of national chains and local favorites like El Trompo Loco and Bibo's Cafe. While Hunterwood does not have community parks, Gene Green Park, 4 miles east, offers a splash pad, skatepark, and dog park, and Jim and Joann Fonteno Family Park provides a looped path through 33 acres of wooded terrain. Housing in Hunterwood includes ranch-style homes from the 1980s in Hunterwood Village and larger New Traditional-style homes in Pine Tree, with apartments and townhouses available at Lake Houston Pines. Students attend schools in the Galena Park Independent School District, with North Shore Senior High School noted for its high rating and competitive athletics program.
