Kingwood, a "livable forest"
Developments often begin in forests but rarely maintain the wooded feeling of the landscape. Unless they're Kingwood. This master-planned community just west of Lake Houston earned the nickname "livable forest" because it blended into the original landscape. "We are a tree-hugging community," says Ethel McCormick, owner of Kingwood Association Management. "We think twice before taking a tree down. Anything that destroys them — fungus or hurricanes — and we're immediately starting to re-forest." This ethos has led to the inclusion of 75 miles of hike and bike trails and more than 500 acres of natural preserves and parks in and around Kingwood's 25 residential communities. A few parks and restaurants rest along the banks of the lake for low-key weekends and evenings by the water.
Kingwood is a picturesque, family-friendly community nestled within a "livable forest".
Kingwood residents enjoy the lush greenery that surrounds them and easy access to Lake Houston.

From luxury living at Royal Shores to a modest life in Woodland Hills
Kingwood home prices represent a vast range, from million-dollar mansions by the water to stately homes by the golf course in the $600,000 to $800,000s to modest properties starting in the $200,000s. Woodland Hills' mid-twentieth century ranch style and minimal traditional homes represent affordable options, often settling in the $300,000 range. Conveniently planned near Interstate 69, residents have easy access to a cinema, Kroger, H-E-B, numerous chain restaurants — fast and slow — plus an outpost of the wildly popular Houston chain Union Kitchen. This subdivision represents the "livable forest" with greenways and bayous snaking across and around the streets and behind homes. Royal Shores represents the luxurious end, with homes built around a golf course by the water and prices varying widely from $550,000 for a Tudor Revival to $1.5 million for a stucco Mediterranean-style mansion. The last major flood in Kingwood was in 2017 during Hurricane Harvey. Since then, the city of Humble has enhanced flood mitigation efforts, including investing more heavily in drainage improvements.

Schools rated A to A plus within the Humble Independent School District
Residents pay a trail fee of around $100 dollars a year to maintain Kingwood's 75-mile trail network. The trail system has connection points in each residential area and many kids travel the trails by foot or bike to school. The majority of students attend schools in the Humble Independent School District (ISD). A familiar pathway is Hidden Hollow Elementary School, Creekwood Middle School and Kingwood High School. Both the elementary and middle schools score A minus ratings from Niche and the high school takes the prize with an A plus. Humble ISD organizes trips to Culver's for burgers and frozen custard on school spirit nights.

Fishing at River Grove Park
For dedicated forest bathing, locals can head to the Creekwood Nature Area on Maple Park Drive, a patch of pure woodland ideal for long walks with a pup or friend. South of that, River Grove Park's 38 acres rest on the banks of the San Jacinto River with playgrounds, a disc golf course, barbecue pits for grilling and a fishing pier. There are also smaller pocket parks with playgrounds embedded within residential areas, like Rustling Elms Park on its namesake drive, with shady trails and pavilions for gathering.
Kingwood's beautiful River Grove Park offers residents a tranquil day out in nature.

Fun along Lake Houston Parkway

The Lake Houston Family YMCA has a massive indoor pool surrounded by floor to ceiling windows. The Kingwood Library is well stocked and has a charming atrium with views of the pine forest outside. The Clubs of Kingwood offers 5 separate golf courses and it's often the place for community events, from Fourth of July parades to Christmas parties. Cute local stops like The Mudpie Company, which hosts pottery painting classes, are also at the center of town. So is the farmers market every Thursday. Four miles west is more shopping at Kingwood Commons, with chains from Loft to Talbots. For waterside dining, Sharkey's is 5 miles east with a large outdoor patio overlooking the lake.
