North Houston's booming growth corridor. Lake Conroe recreation, affordable rents, and one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation.
Conroe has consistently ranked among the fastest-growing cities in the United States, and the numbers back it up. The city's population has surpassed 100,000 as families and professionals are drawn by some of the most affordable rents in the greater Houston metro combined with a rapidly expanding job market. Lake Conroe, a 21,000-acre reservoir just north of the city, offers boating, fishing, and waterfront dining that give the area a resort-like quality you won't find in the inner suburbs. The W.G. Jones State Forest provides hiking and equestrian trails minutes from downtown Conroe.
The I-45 corridor connects Conroe to The Woodlands in about 15 minutes and downtown Houston in roughly 45 minutes. Major employers in the area include the Conroe Regional Medical Center, Lone Star College, and a growing number of oil and gas service companies that have set up operations along the I-45 industrial corridor. Conroe ISD serves the city and has invested heavily in new school construction to keep up with growth, including multiple new elementary and middle schools in the past five years.
