A quiet suburb on the outskirts of Houston

Rural Quiet Affordable Commuter

Iowa Colony rests on State Route 288 just 22 miles south of Downtown Houston and exhibits an idyllic suburban setting for those looking to escape the bustle of the city. You’ll find plenty of single-family home rentals here, all with large lots proximate to the Texas countryside.

Locals gather at the few bars and restaurants located just off the highway, and kids will love the SplashPad Park that helps beat the Texas heat. The amenities that Iowa Colony may lack can be found in Houston, or in nearby Sugar Land, just 20 miles to the west.
