Park Lakes offers simple suburban living in the heart of Humble

About 18 miles north of downtown Houston in the city of Humble is Park Lakes — a conglomerate of subdivisions boasting spacious homes and stellar accessibility to nearby amenities, including one of the busiest airports in the United States. Park Lakes is close to Lake Houston, which is a hot spot for outdoor recreation, and in the heart of Humble, the community also comes with a storied past. "It has a great history, because it's a part of the beginning of the oil capital of Houston. That's where Humble Oil started, so it has that flare," says local Realtor Deborah Rose Miller of Rose Realty, who has sold dozens of homes around the area. "The attraction to Humble would obviously be that it's close to the airport, so that's a big attraction is how easy it is to get there."

Newer and more established homes come together in Park Lakes

Canyon Village features New Traditional and ranch-style homes with brick facades, while The Estates offers larger properties with Tudor Revival and modern Greek Revival accents centered around small ponds with picturesque water features. Smaller, more established homes can also be found in the Timberhills subdivision. According to local Realtor Marcey Rogers of Berkshire Hathaway, the area is seeing a massive growth spurt, as evidenced by the development of Park Lakes East and Sunset Ridge. Homes in the community typically price between $200,000 and $400,000, though some larger residences can top out closer to $500,000. Houston has a history of taking on considerable flood damage from major storms, so homebuyers should keep this in mind on their search.

Sam Houston Parkway and I-69 make for easy commuting

Park Lakes' individual subdivisions are walkable, though residents will need vehicle access for trips beyond the confines of the neighborhood. Luckily, Park Lakes offers solid access to the Sam Houston Parkway and Interstate 69, which runs less than a mile west of the neighborhood. And, of course, George Bush Intercontinental Airport is just 9 miles west of Park Lakes, making for easy trips to the terminal for frequent flyers.
