When Kingwood was first conceived in 1970, it was envisioned as a community that would fit into rather than replace the forest on the shores of Lake Houston. As Kingwood has grown from that first village in 1971, the vision has remained. The pines and oak still stand to screen and shelter the commercial establishments and animals common to the area still roam the woods that surround the homes. Kingwood is more than a residential area; it is a community, an attitude, an atmosphere. Entering Kingwood is like entering another world, where calm and peace pervade even the busiest areas and make it a Livable Forest."

More than 14,000 beautifully forested acres enhance the master-planned community of Kingwood, where more than 65,000 people are proud to call home. Created in 1970, Kingwood has become a flagship community of Friendswood Development Company and a model for other fine communities around the country.

Appropriately named "The Livable Forest" Kingwood's beautifully wooded surrounds and innovative master-plan has helped it to grow into a charming small town, where residents find the ideal combination of new homes, amenities, conveniences and outstanding schools all close to home.

Created by Friendswood Development Company, a pioneer of master-planned communities in Texas, Kingwood boasts some of the most beautiful homes and neighborhoods in the Houston area.

With homes priced from the $140,000s to more than $1 million and a diverse amenities program, Kingwood continues to appeal to residents of all ages.
