Roughly one hour northwest of downtown Houston in the Texas timberlands, Magnolia makes a great home for folks who want room to breathe without being too far from the city. Residents of Magnolia enjoy close access to southeast Texas’ natural beauty, with Unity Park and The Stroll near the city center and dozens of forests and lakes in the surrounding region.

The city limits comprise a very small area with fewer than 2,000 residents, but the Magnolia community stretches much farther out into Montgomery County and includes well over 100,000 people. The reasonable proximity to Houston and George Bush Intercontinental Airport makes Magnolia an appealing rental option for commuters, and fifteen colleges and universities lie within an hour’s drive as well. In the fall, Magnolia sees many out-of-town travelers passing through on their way to the nearby Texas Renaissance Festival, a huge affair held just six miles up the road from downtown.
