Clear Creek Forest Home for Rent

Clear Creek Forest is appealing for its secluded, tree-lined surroundings, where many homes sit on an acre or more of land. It’s a neighborhood where locals may have to drive a few miles to Tomball or Magnolia to get necessities or a bite to eat, but it offers unique locales for recreation, from private parks to nearby equestrian facilities. “We've had crazy growth in Magnolia over the past 30 years, and it’s amped up in the last 10. Despite the growth, this community close to Magnolia is still considered ‘unspoiled’ because there’s little chance for development to change the environment,” says LaRae Whorley, a 25-year broker associate with EXP Realty LLC. “Properties here on the major roads are deed-restricted for residents only. So the location won’t draw commercial growth.” Homes are separated by winding roads, a dense canopy of tall pine trees and farmhouse-style wooden fences. Single-family homes range from $330,000 to $800,000, varying by square footage and age, and come in American Craftsman and rambler styles. “Right now, buyers are mostly grabbing existing homes; it’s unique because it was developed by Properties of the Southwest and split into 13 sections,” says Whorley.
