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.

Big Rivers Waterpark and Lake Houston are close by

For outdoor recreation, residents head to Roman Forest Park on the town's western edge, where they have access to a playground, swimming pool, splash pad and picnic pavilion. A few miles south of the neighborhood is Lake Houston Wilderness Park, a 5,000-acre forested area that offers visitors 20 miles of hiking trails, 13 miles of equestrian trails, an archery range, a nature center and much more. For even more fun, Big Rivers Waterpark is located 10 minutes north on nearby Interstate 69. Here, visitors will find water slides, pools and other aquatic attractions, as well as a zipline course and restaurant. Houston is a 30-minute drive down I-69, which sits less than a mile west of town. "I like to describe Roman Forest as a rural town with a lot of conveniences," says Harrell.

Traveling in and out of Roman Forest

Roman Forest is conveniently located near major highways that afford easy access to downtown Houston, George Bush Intercontinental Airport and other major attractions. However, because of the lack of sidewalks and rapid transit in the area, prospective buyers should be aware that while conveniently situated, Roman Forest is also car dependent.
