Kingwood

The centerpiece of the community is The Clubs of Kingwood Country Club. It boasts 36 holes of golf on award-winning courses, one of the largest tennis facilities in Houston, and a state-of-the-art fitness center. Its water park is very popular with residents of all ages, as it offers an adult pool, a family pool, a splash pad for younger children, and a huge water slide. Many of Kingwood's villages have their own clubhouses with junior olympic pools. The clubhouses typically have community rooms equipped for meetings and family get-togethers. The pools are available to residents during normal operating hours, but they are also host to each of the village's youth swim teams, which are very active in the local swim league. Shopping is easy in Kingwood. There are two retail zones that are centrally located and provide a robust range of casual dining, grocery, and banking services. Houston's public transit system, Metro, has a major park-and-ride facility in the center of Kingwood, providing commuter service to downtown daily. Kingwood spans two counties: Harris and Montgomery. Kids living in Harris County attend Humble ISD schools, while Montgomery kids attend New Caney ISD. Both school districts receive high marks from a number of different ranking services. In addition to the public schools, there are several private schools and a community college within Kingwood's boundaries.
