Conroe
Lake living meets vibrant community growth, 40 miles north of downtown Houston with unlimited potential.
From Lumber Town to Lake Living
Founded in 1881 by Northern lumberman Isaac Conroe, the city was built on timber and sawmills that dominated the early 1900s economy. The lumber industry shaped Conroe into a thriving industrial hub in North Texas.
In 1973, the creation of Lake Conroe—a magnificent 21,000-acre recreational centerpiece—transformed the community into a premier destination for waterfront living, boating, and outdoor recreation. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of Conroe's evolution into a modern lake community.
From 2000 onward, Conroe experienced explosive growth, earning recognition as the fastest-growing large city in the United States in 2015-2016 with a remarkable 7.8% growth rate. Today, Conroe stands as a vibrant, dynamic community combining historic charm with modern development and lakefront living.
