Plenty of green space exists in a highly regarded school district; the Pinehurst neighborhood is located about 40 miles northwest of downtown Houston. The way the community is laid out, there’s a feeling of seclusion. “We have a lot of forested areas that are a big draw for people who live here,” says Sandy Barton, the president of the Greater Magnolia Parkway Chamber of Commerce. “Developers have built homes while preserving the beauty of the community. It’s a lovely community to live, work and play.”
Students in Pinehurst can attend schools in the Magnolia Independent School District, ranked 21st out of 53 districts in the Houston area. The district gets an A-minus overall grade on Niche, with A’s in preparation for college, academic rigor and the quality of teachers. Children who attend Cedric C. Smith Elementary School enjoy a 16-to-1 student-to-teacher ratio. Even in elementary school, students can explore computer coding and engineering courses. Bear Branch Junior High School has an overall B-plus grade and allows kids to work on the school newspaper or be part of the speech and debate club. Magnolia High School has a 96% graduation rate, and juniors and seniors can sign up for dual credit courses through a partnership with Lone Star College.
Even in the gated subdivisions of Pinehurst, you won’t find sidewalks, and there is more space between yourself and your neighbor. These are atypical of what you usually see as some homes sit on over an acre of land, and there is often a view of forested land out your back window. Prices range from about $200,000 for a modest remodeled ranch-style home or a manufactured home under 1,000 square feet to a five-bedroom modern contemporary house with over 5,000 square feet as part of a master-planned community with homes that back against the Lake Windcrest Golf Club. People within the community have access to four lakes suitable for power boats or kayaking. If you prefer your home in a more rural setting, there are homes in the $300,000 to $500,000 range with multiple-acre lots.
Melany Meadows Park is one of the outdoor recreation opportunities residents have in the master-planned community. There are dedicated walking and horseback riding trails and a playground. If you like getting in shape within the confines of four walls and want to build up your muscles, Iron Legends Gym has trainers to help you achieve your goals, whether you’re a seasoned bodybuilder or just starting.
A gathering place for the community operated by the Magnolia Independent School District, the Magnolia Event Center is a multi-purpose facility that is the site of events for the district and community events like wedding receptions and corporate meetings. The Chamber of Commerce uses it often. “We didn’t have anything like that in the community that could host several hundred people until this opened in 2018,” Barton says. “The foresight of the Magnolia ISD to build that and to continue to operate it is a great benefit.”
While driving along Route 1488, one of the more unique buildings is also one of the most popular places to eat. Yes, an actual tree house is available for reservations only. It seats up to 20 people that can be booked for special occasions. The main restaurant is accessed via a narrow walkway through the woods. Inside, you can sink your teeth into classic American dishes, such as burgers, sandwiches and meatloaf.
Although some people may take the nearly-hour trek to downtown Houston for work, a sense of being away from everything is evident when living in Pinehurst. “Picturesque nature settings surround many homes in this area, and more land is available,” Barton says. “There’s something for everyone whether you want multiple acres or more of a suburban feel.”
