Tomball is a Great Place to Live

Tomball? Why an article about a dinky town that many Texans can’t pinpoint on the map? You’ve heard people say “location, location, location.” In Tomball’s case, that is a very good selling point.

First of all, Tomball is conveniently located near the 99 Grand Parkway, 249 Tomball Parkway, 290 NW Freeway, with Interstate 45 and  Sam Houston Tollway 8 only a few minutes’ drive away. The Woodlands is very close, and downtown Houston, Katy, and Magnolia are just a short drive away.

Our children’s education should be another key determining factor in where we choose to live, and Tomball is home to several highly rated public schools. Tomball Memorial High School, Willow Wood Jr High School, Northpointe Intermediate School, Lakewood Elementary, Willow Creek Elementary, Canyon Pointe Elementary, and Creekview Elementary are all highly rated and well above average on Great Schools.org.

Finally, you can’t beat the laid-back feel of a town like Tomball. There is plenty of land for folks to spread out, and depending on the neighborhood, much more distance between homes than in the big cities. From my home in a traditional subdivision-type neighborhood, we only have to drive a couple of minutes (literally) to see horses, cows, longhorns and pastures as far as the eye can see.
