Life near Lake Houston
Atascocita offers homes on Lake Houston, favorable schools, solid highway access and a relatively easy commute to downtown Houston in 25 miles. Plus, it's less than 10 miles from George Bush Intercontinental Airport. The community is often lumped into conversation with the city of Humble as they share suburban conveniences, from parks to robust shopping, and a school district. A key differentiator, however, is that Atascocita is closer to the lake; it's also an unincorporated community.
Atascocita's population has grown by roughly 14% in five years, currently totaling around 93,000. “Many [residents] are part of the oil and gas industry, thanks to being so close to Houston’s energy hub, home to companies like Exxon, Chevron, and Shell,” says Realtor Kimberley Johnson of Champions Real Estate Group. Other major employers are the hospitals in Kingwood and the Humble Independent School District. “On top of that, people find jobs in retail, small businesses, or even commute to Houston for tech and corporate roles,” she says.

Known for master-planned communities like Balmoral and Eagle Springs
Bridges on Lake Houston is a new master-planned community by D.R. Horton. Built within the last 5 years, it offers lakeside and inland homes that wrap around amenities like a resort-style waterpark pool, clubhouse and fitness centers. Meanwhile, the more established community of Eagle Springs is squarely inland but built around a 15-acre lake, sports complex and neighborhood schools. Kingwood Lakes Estates, a gated community with custom-built estates, also has homes right on the lake but they fetch some of the highest prices. Atascocita also has simple suburban subdivisions and townhouse neighborhoods.
The median home price is around $335,000, 4% less than the state average. That said, Atascocita casts a wide net. "[Housing prices] fluctuate because of schools," says Kelly Swartz, a Realtor with JLA Realty who lives a few miles from Atascocita. “You could go three minutes down the road and pay $20,000 more for the same home because it's zoned for better schools."

Niche gives the school district an A
Atascocita is in the Humble Independent School District, which earns an A from Niche. The district is currently investing in its infrastructure after a $775 million bond program was approved in 2022 and opened a dinosaur-themed playground at Atascocita Springs Elementary in 2024. A-minus-rated Atascocita High School and A-rated Eagle Springs Elementary School are stand-outs for the area. The University of Houston and Rice University are within 30 miles.

Downtown Houston is 25 miles away
Atascocita gets its name from a road first used by Spanish conquistadors, then migrants and cattle ranchers and migrants in the 19th century. The road is now named Farm to Market Road 1960 and connects residents to downtown Houston. “Traffic used to be terrible, but they built an overpass [over FMR 1960] and that has literally taken all of that away,” Swartz says. West Lake Houston Parkway also flows through Atascocita and connects to a developing portion of Beltway 8. HCA Houston Healthcare is less than 10 miles away in Kingwood.
Where to shop and grab a bite in Atascocita
Bakeries, Texas barbecue spots, steakhouses, Mexican restaurants, and fast-food chains create gastronomic variety between Humble and Atascocita. Retail is also virtually endless, and there are several large shopping centers at the confluence of FM Road 1960 and West Lake Houston Parkway. The main difference between shopping in one area or the other is that Atascocita has more chains, according to Swartz, while Humble shines a light on local fare in its historic downtown area.
