Living in Kingwood, Texas
Kingwood was laid out in 1971 as a set of villages threaded by greenbelt trails, and has been part of the City of Houston since its 1996 annexation. Trailwood Village, Kings Point Village and Forest Cove lead its listings, and nearly all of the housing stock is resale from the 1970s through the 1990s.
Get to know Kingwood
Welcome to Kingwood
Humble ISD serves Kingwood. The San Jacinto River and Lake Houston border the community, and a meaningful share of listings sit inside a FEMA special flood hazard area — the zone is marked on every home.
A meaningful minority of listings sit inside a FEMA special flood hazard area — the zone is on every listing here. Nearly every listing sits on a standard subdivision lot of under a quarter acre. Builder inventory is scarce here — the median listing dates from the 1990s, so most sales are resale. What follows is live: our MLS feed refreshes the figures on this page hourly.

The Kingwood real estate market
What the numbers mean
Not just numbers — what they tell you. Median price, how fast homes really sell, where prices are heading, and which neighborhoods are heating up. Live from our MLS feed, with Allen's plain-English read.
Kingwood is a seller-leaning market right now — about 2.5 months of inventory, yet roughly 52% of active sellers have already cut their price, so well-prepared buyers still have room to negotiate. The median home sells around $340,000, and the typical listing has truly been on the market about 116 days.
Each figure is compared with the same period last year. Where last year's data isn't in our feed yet, you'll see "—".

Build a home search that excludes — or includes — the flood plain. Your call.
Flood zones affect your insurance cost, not whether a home is a bad buy — and we're the only site that lets you filter them right out of your search (or zero in on them). Two homes on the same street can sit in different zones; we show real exposure on every listing.
Search with the flood filterThe honest picture
We surface the real federal flood-claim history for any area you're considering — context, not scare tactics. Risk is very address-specific, and we walk through each home's exact exposure with you before you ever make an offer.

Neighborhoods & communities
Kingwood isn't one market
it's dozens
Kingwood spans 19+ active communities — each with its own pricing, amenities and feel. Search the list or explore the map — hover either one and the other lights up, with live numbers for that neighborhood.
Layered communities: in Kingwood, smaller neighborhoods often sit inside a larger master-planned community — so those homes pay two HOA fees, and the MLS lists both. Where footprints overlap on the map, click the same spot more than once to step through the stacked HOAs (smallest first).
19 of 19 communities
How this works: footprints are the convex hull of each community's listings over the last five years (active plus sold) — a denser, more representative outline from our own data, but still an approximation, not a surveyed HOA boundary. Numbers (active, pending, avg price, new-30d) are live from the AWS MLS feed for Kingwood, residential for-sale only. 19 communities with 3+ active listings shown.
