Kingwood, also know as the "Livable Forest," was created by the
Friendswood Development company in 1971 and has grown rapidly since.

200,000 people living within a ten mile radius.
Nature Trails

Kingwood is best known for being a community that exists in harmony
with nature. Kingwood's heavily wooded acreage is canopied with tall
pines and magnolias, along with 20 other types of shade trees.
The community is host to a variety of wildlife including deer, fish,
birds, and more, that can be found in the 500+ acres of private nature
preserves and parks.
Over 75 miles of hike and bike trails,
known as the "greenbelt," run through Kingwood's naturally beautiful woods and lakes.
These trails are great for exercising, walking or bicycling.

Kingwood is also a thriving commercial center. Big name retail, shopping,
and dining venues call Kingwood home, and can be found throughout the

Center off of Lake Houston Parkway. In addition, Kingwood is only three
miles North of
Deerbrook Mall and Humble, Texas' commerical centers.
