Magnolia

One of North Houston’s hidden gems, Magnolia is a picturesque wooded community with a rural feel. Think high rolling fields, white picket fences and New England style homes set off the road where your closest neighbor may be a mile down the road. If you’re relocating to Texas from a major metropolitan area or are just looking to get out of the city and build a custom home on sprawling acreage, Magnolia is the place to find more space and privacy. With a population of 2,635 residents, Magnolia is a very small and close-knit community that enjoys the peace and quiet of country life. 

Located next to Montgomery with easy access to Tomball and The Woodlands, Magnolia is about 45 minutes from Houston via the newly connected HWY 249 (which has significantly reduced the commute time from Magnolia to the city!). Homebuyers looking to apply for a ranch or farm have plenty of options with so many large parcels of land to develop! Although the population is still very small, Magnolia is a fast-growing community with a mix of mom and pop shops and newly established businesses.
