A Couple Days in the Livable Forest

Kingwood is significantly more than just another master-planned community found in northeast Houston. Nicknamed the Livable Forest, Kingwood hosts a cozy, close-knit community in its natural beauty.

Day 1: Add Luxury to Your Life Next time you hear a transplanted New Yorker bark that a good bagel can’t be found in Texas, point them in the direction of Kingwood Bagel & Sandwich. Don’t be alarmed by the usual line at the entrance—it moves fast, and the breakfast treats are well worth the wait.

Not everyone is ready to commit to hours of swinging a nine-iron. Instead, make a pitstop at the Kingwood Golf Advantage School, and have a quick 30-minute lesson with one of their PGA professionals.

Any local will tell you that Kings Harbor is the hot spot for doing some shopping and dining. The Berry Bar is a fantastic place to grab a cold beverage.

Pretty Little Things is a charming boutique offering stylish women’s clothing and accessories. If you’re in the market for little ones, stop into neighboring Dapper Darlings for ultra-stylish kids’ clothes.

Squeeze in some cosmetic upkeep at Shannon McIntire Skin Care, and treat yourself to a rejuvenating facial in a private, relaxing environment.

Our pick for dinner is Chimichurri’s South American Grill. While you relax in upscale comfort, take in the rich causeway views of Lake Houston.

Day 2: Satisfy Your Cravings for the Finer Things Wake up at your own leisurely pace, then head out for some brunch at The Union Kitchen Kingwood.

Once you’ve filled your belly with local favorites—and maybe sampled the Build Your Own Bloody Mary bar—it’s time to fill your lungs with fresh air in Creekwood Nature Area. This stunning park is the perfect getaway for stretching your legs across 50 breathtaking acres.

Refuel with an afternoon snack at Elite Treats nearby. In this one-ofa-kind shop for sweet-tooth snobs, there’s something for everybody. Afterwards, kids can work off the post-sugar rush slumber by paying a visit to Pump It Up, an indoor children’s amusement center.

Swing by the Kingwood Meat Market to carefully scrutinize the carnivorous deli featuring some of the best cuts of meats around. Take your fresh picks home to serve as the stars of your own culinary creations.

It’s all too easy to fall in love with Kingwood. Should you decide to take the next step, the knowledgeable realty team at Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty would be more than happy to serve as your guide.
