Get to Know Magnolia

Magnolia manages to be both a small town and big suburb at the same time: The town of Magnolia proper is referred to as Old Magnolia and has fewer than 2,500 residents. New Magnolia, which stretches all the way to The Woodlands, is more developed, and combined, the two Magnolias have a population of 138,000. Many consider Magnolia High School to be the dividing line, with everything to the west of the school considered to be Old Magnolia, while everything to the east is considered New Magnolia. Interestingly, this stretch from east to west also serves as physical representation of housing density, as properties are spaced farther apart the deeper one moves into Old Magnolia. Many here still head to The Woodlands or Tomball for their shopping and dining, as commercial districts are still catching up with the booming growth of Magnolia.

Living in Greater Houston

Like all of Texas, Greater Houston’s history is the story of oil, with suburban towns developed by and for gas and oil executives, with Houston’s Energy Corridor remaining a major employer today. The suburbs of Houston stretch in all directions, from Kingwood, technically inside the city limits, all the way up to and beyond The Woodlands, whose growth and prominence has earned it its own identity, separate from H-Town. These suburbs are young metropolises — towns that grew out of farmland and forest in the past 50 years, with houses, office parks, newly created lakes, and golf courses emerging from rural lands where only cows and feral pigs once roamed. As Houston’s economy has diversified and as the region has created more new jobs, Houston residents have looked farther and farther out for more space to settle. Greater Houston is booming and there’s no better place to call home.
