Hi friend! I am so excited you found our little corner of the Interwebs. In today's post I will answering the question, “What are the best neighborhoods on Lake Conroe?” I plan to deep dive, and also share the price point of each neighborhood with you as well.
For those of you that don't know, Lake Conroe is a 21,000-acre lake in Montgomery County, Texas. Even though it is named Lake Conroe, only a small portion of the lake is in Conroe, Texas. Most of the lake is in unincorporated Montgomery County.
Lake Conroe is dominated by open water in the lower two-thirds of the reservoir, with some standing timber still present along the river channel in the upper reaches. Most of the standing timber is slightly submerged when the lake is at conservation pool, making navigation hazardous in these areas. Bulkheads with boat docks dominate the shore in the lower reservoir; the upper reservoir (the portion lying within the Sam Houston National Forest) is primarily featureless shoreline.
If you like to fish, Lake Conroe is known for being an excellent place to find largemouth bass, catfish, hybrid striped bass, and bluegill, with some crappie swimming around as well.
But without further ado…
