AREA HIGHLIGHTS
Being so close to a metropolitan area as large as Houston, the Lake Conroe area has experienced incredible growth and transformation over the last quarter century.
Some of the finest residential developments in the country have sprung up around the picturesque shores and wooded terrain surrounding the lake. Many of Lake Conroe's communities have superior golf courses and tennis facilities as well as the usual water amenities like marinas and boat launching.
