Kingwood · Houston, TX
The Livable Forest, one block from Brook Shadow Dr.
The place behind the house
A master plan that kept the forest instead of clearing it.
Kingwood is a roughly 14,000-acre master-planned community built since the 1970s around the area's dense pine and hardwood canopy, which is why it earned the name "The Livable Forest." Today about 75,000 people call it home, with more than 75 miles of greenbelt trails and over 500 acres of parks and preserves threaded through the residential villages.
Brook Shadow Dr sits inside Greentree Village, a short drive from Kingwood Drive and West Lake Houston Parkway, with Lake Houston's water and the trails never far away.
