When it comes to designing and maintaining choice communities, Friendswood Development Company is Houston's original. We bring more than thirty-six years of leadership, expertise and vision to Kingwood, as well as each neighborhood we create throughout the Houston area. The foundation of it all is the care, concern, and attention to quality that make up the Friendswood difference expressed in long-range master plans that assure our communities will live on for generations to come.

In Kingwood - the Livable Forest - we have carefully integrated what nature has provided in a picturesque site canopied by more than twenty species of shade trees. Sprinkled with wildflowers by the bunch. Graced by families of deer. And filled with native birds, ducks and fish. Within this most exceptional setting of almost 15,000 acres, Friendswood has crafted - over a span of thirty years - a jewel of a community called Kingwood. As we have with Clear Lake City, Fairfield, Copperfield and other thriving Friendswood communities - found in the most desirable parts of Houston - by assembling fine homes, extraordinary amenities and warm, wonderful neighborhoods.

Today new generations of families are experiencing the Friendswood legacy. Our unparalleled expertise. Our convenient choice of locations. Our unmatched originality. Office centers located close to home. Schools that win top national honors. World-class golf courses. Bustling village shopping centers. Nature preserves that invite reflection as well as recreation in neighborhoods that encourage the friendships of a lifetime. You will find it all in Kingwood, which has grown into precisely the unique community it was destined to be with a long-term vision that's as evident and protective as the sheltering trees are to the land itself. Where decades of planning have created not just a place to live, but a whole way of life for today and for generations to come.

Kingwood, beautifully situated within the Livable Forest, enjoys proximity to land marks in the man-made world as well - conveniently located near business and recreational destinations throughout the Houston area. And, with the current and upcoming enhancement of high-ways and mass transit systems, new generations will find Kingwood even more accessible. Living only 25 miles north of downtown, Kingwood residents enjoy an excellent selection of commuting alternatives, including Beltway 8 and the nearby Hardy toll road. The expansion of Highway 59 to ten lanes will further prove those choices, The popular Metro Park &, Ride is being improved by the addition of a second location and the new High Occupancy Vehicle lanes into the Central Business District of Houston, And we're close to the whole world as well, with George Bush Intercontinental Airport just ten miles away.

A mid the tall pines and magnolias beats the heart of Kingwood's retail activity - the award-winning Town Center. As easily accessible by a stroll on the green belt as by main thoroughfares, this area boasts an abundance of shops, restaurants and business. Community life is enhanced by a broader scope of opportunities for entertainment, dining, and shopping in the immediate vicinity including Deerbrook Mall. Within this rapidly growing area of Houston, the most beautiful site of all is Kingwood itself, where a long-ago vision of beauty, peace and quiet comes to life. For generation after generation.
