Neighborhood Info

Sand Creek Village is a residential subdivision of Kingwood, Texas, located 25 miles northeast of downtown Houston on Hwy 59. Sand Creek is subdivided into six sections and is comprised of approximately 1,100 single family homes.

Located northwest of Houston this beautiful community has it all.
Golf course, lake views, boating, fishing and more!  Close to Kingwood Drive shopping, restaurants and entertainment are just minutes away.  

The sound of chirping birds and crickets is piped into the Kingwood Home Finding Center, set off by the motion of prospective buyers as they browse the model of the 14,000-acre Friendswood Development community.

Kingwood is divided into Villages, each with neighborhood parks and similarly priced housing. The development is connected by 58 miles of green belt trails, often used by children en route to school. The neighborhoods are dotted by highly rated Humble schools.

The thick pines and esplanades in Kingwood have more of a manicured look than those in The Woodlands.

Because of the heavy corporate relocations market, several apartments offer interim housing.  Relocating buyers often prefer new houses over resales, said an agent with Re/Max Northeast. Buyers are also finding good values in Kingwood compared to similar houses elsewhere.  

Kingwood is a bedroom community, with most major retail and employment located outside the community - Deerbrook Mall, Greenspoint or downtown, for example. However, Town Center in the heart of Kingwood offers grocery shopping and various specialty stores. Three fire stations, a county library, a YMCA, and churches of many denominations are in the community.

Kingwood was annexed by the city of Houston, excluding the villages of Kings River and Kingwood Glen. With the annexation, residents now pay taxes to the city of Houston instead of paying Municipal Utility District taxes. The city took over operations of 13 MUDs and also provides police and fire services, with 51 law officers assigned to Kingwood. Community associations and deed restrictions were not affected by the annexation. Some residents are petitioning the state for a referendum that would allow them be disannexed from Houston.

Kingwood has received national attention recently. The motion picture Tin Cup was filmed at golf courses in Kingwood Country Club and the Deerwood Club, where one of the holes was fashioned after the U.S. Open for the movie.

The Southern Living Idea House is also located in Kingwood and will be open for tours in mid June. The home is being built by Period Classic, the custom division of Village Builders, and will be featured in the August issue.

Kingwood is located 25 miles from downtown. A Metro Park & Ride is located in Town Center and a second one is under construction at U.S. 59.
