Spring

Spring is a census-designated place that straddles southern Montgomery County and northern Harris County, giving you the chance to experience the best of both worlds. Living here gives you plenty of space to stretch out, whether it’s on large property spaces or in the various parks dotting the community. And with Downtown Houston just 25 minutes away, you’re never far from job opportunities and the finest urban amenities. Once a little town, Spring has grown into a sizable suburb that’s ideal for a variety of home buyers looking for that extra square footage outside of the city. Many homes sit on quarter- to half-acre lots, with prices ranging from $350,000 to well over $1 million. The housing inventory is mostly composed of single-family homes but you’ll also find condos, townhomes, and a select few multi-family units.
