Get to know Grimes County
Welcome to Grimes County
Inventory here is measured in dozens, not thousands, and a sale is usually a house plus land. The Renaissance Festival grounds, the Navasota River bottoms and the Sam Houston National Forest frame its edges.
Most listings come with an acre or more; the plat map matters less than the survey. New construction is a substantial minority of the listings — roughly a quarter to a third — and the rest is resale, with a median build year in the 2020s. Below, the live figures from our MLS feed: what is listed, what it sells for, and how fast.
The cities below are the Grimes County markets we cover in depth; pick one for its listings, schools and neighborhoods.
