Humble, TX Condo for Sale

Humble, Texas, a former oil boomtown located approximately 20 miles north of Houston, is a small city with a population of around 16,800. Known for its family-oriented atmosphere, Humble attracts residents who commute to Houston for work and benefit from its proximity to George Bush Intercontinental Airport, just 5 miles away. The highly rated Humble Independent School District serves most of the area, including the notable Guy M. Sconzo Early College, where students can earn an associate degree while in high school. Housing options range from historic 1920s cottages and midcentury ranch-style homes in downtown to larger, newer homes in subdivisions near the airport. However, some homes are affected by noise from the flight path. Humble offers various attractions, including Hirsch Memorial Park with its seasonal pool, Schott Park's walking trails, and Lake Houston, located less than 10 miles away, which is popular for boating, swimming, and fishing. The city also features public golf courses, Old MacDonald’s Farm, and the Humble Civic Center with senior activities. Downtown Humble hosts local dining spots like the century-old Humble City Cafe and cultural venues such as the Charles Bender Performing Arts Center and the Humble Museum. The annual Good Oil Days festival celebrates the city's heritage with vendors, food trucks, and live music. Despite hot, humid summers and mild winters, Humble has experienced only minor flooding since Hurricane Harvey.
