Kingwood (77339, 77345) is NE Houston's premier master-planned community community spanning 14,000 acres. Lake Houston spillway releases and West Fork San Jacinto flooding catastrophically affected Kingwood during Hurricane Harvey 2017.
Kingwood is a master-planned community of 75,000+ residents in NE Houston/Humble area. The community is divided into 26 villages including Bear Branch, Forest Cove, Greentree, Hunter's Ridge, Kings Forest, Sand Creek, Trailwood, and others.
