Art and nature come together in a colorful community
Set into 3,000 acres of woodland between Spring and Conroe, Artavia puts focus on the “art” part of its name. This brand-new master-planned neighborhood sports the tagline “live colorfully” and curates a lively lifestyle with extensive amenities and a packed event calendar. Nature-inspired art installations—dubbed “ARTscapes”—embrace the community's creative side. It also has an increasingly popular location in a previously rural section of Montgomery County. Artavia is 11 miles from Conroe, which was previously one of Houston’s smallest suburbs. “What I hear from people is that they just love living on the north side. Commutes are better, traffic is much less,” says Ryan Kutter, a commercial agent with Connect Realty who has been selling homes for 16 years. “Conroe used to be a small town, but it’s grown as word has gotten out.” While the neighborhood has the amenities to stand independently, residents will have a longer drive to get to surrounding cities, particularly downtown Houston.
In the backyard of each model home in Artavia, you'll find unique sculptures by Jeffie Brewer.
Artavia is the ideal neighborhood for nature lovers, with large forested areas right next door.
