Roman Forest offers a relaxed lifestyle and tree-lined streets
Roman Forest, situated 35 miles north of Houston, is one of many Texas towns with European names. Although the community doesn't have a Coliseum or the Pantheon, there are a variety of homes lining narrow, tree-lined streets in the quiet, rural community. "It's a charming area," says Montgomery County native Elizabeth Harrell, a broker with Rhoden Real Estate for nearly a decade. "It's got that small-town feel where you know your neighbors. It's peaceful. And the location is ideal." The area's combination of rural lifestyle and modern convenience is attractive to those relocating from bigger cities. "Houston has grown so much, and we're seeing a lot of people moving north so they can get away from the crowds," says Harrell.
Homes in the Roman Forest neighborhood are known for their manicured lawns.
Roman Forest encourages a healthy lifestyle and has many walking trails throughout the area.

Traveling in and out of Roman Forest
