Kingwood Review for Family 3 rating By Anonymous ( Aug 27, 2024) I find it really odd that this site doesn’t have Kingwood as its own neighborhood and lumped it in with “Far North East Houston” which is not really a thing. This review is for our time in Kingwood. We enjoyed it- it’s a nice suburb and has a lot of amenities for families ...Read More . This was my family’s pick over The Woodlands which seemed too pretentious and Katy which just seemed so overwhelming. The schools are solid, the green belt trails are awesome. The heb and kid activities like extracurriculars and sports are great. Lots of healthcare options. Virtually no night life to speak of (good or bad depending on who you’re talking to), and the restaurant scene is pretty minimal. As far as shopping, plan on driving. The nearest Target, Walmart, and Costco are a bit of a drive. Kingwood Drive traffics takes forever- plan on 20-30 min at least to go anywhere. I don’t think Kingwood is what it used to be in its hay day in the 90s. Maybe this goes back to the annexation and the development in the “far north east” around it, but the city of Houston is growing and sort of swallowing it up. My biggest complaint is the water rates- who wants to pay $800/mo for water?? The city of Houston water rates as applied to Kingwood are ridiculous. In our last months in Kingwood we also experienced a lot of short severe thunderstorms that caused quite a bit of damage. Read Less

My Time In Far Northeast, Houston - TX 5 rating By Anonymous ( Jun 10, 2014) I moved to Houston from East Texas, East Texas is a name for, of course, the east section of Texas. It is capitalized because it is its own place, culture and style. Houston is basically the dividing line between southeast Texas and East Texas. I lived in the inner city of Housto ...Read More n, but it is not like an inner city of other urban areas. Its inner city is gentrified and, in some areas, their historical, museum, and restaurant and bar districts are located there. It is expensive to live in the inner city of Houston. I used that as my excuse to move to far northeast Houston Texas. I originally made the move because it was easier to access East Texas on Fridays. I love going home to East Texas on the weekends, but if anyone is traveling in that direction from the inner city, a person will be stuck in traffic for hours. Now, I can go from far northeast Houston to a less crowded portion of Interstate 45 in no time. This shortens the trip home by hours. I am able to get home and check on my aging parents at the spur of the moment if necessary. This saves gas and time. I can get to the cool evening temperatures of East Texas in ninety minutes. Although the temperature can get up to 104 degrees sometimes in East Texas, the evening temperature can drop into the seventies in the summer. Houston proper sometimes never cools below 80 degrees in the summer.

I discovered a new best reason for moving out here. They have a vast natural park with multiple opportunities for multiple outdoor sports. The area is the San Jacinto river valley. It was formed because the San Jacinto River was dammed to form Lake Houston. The dam is an overflow damn. This means that if the water levels rise in Lake Houston, the overflow passively breaches the dam and provide a vast eddy before the San Jacinto begins to flow normally again. There are so many fishing spots along the area that I have not fished more than a third of them. From Garret road, people can reach the San Jacinto from different parks that dot its path. They have Eisenhower and Duessen parks. Both of these parks have access to the river, as well as, stocked fishing ponds. In the early spring, these ponds are overstocked with catfish and rainbow trout. This allows residents to take children fishing and guarantee that they will catch fish. This reinforces their outdoor experience. Rainbow trout is a cold-water fish so residents are advised to fi8sh them early and often before they disappear. Far Northeast Houston is awesome and we did not even talk about Lake Houston proper. Read Less
