The Lake Conroe region — including Conroe, Montgomery, and Willis — has exploded in popularity over the past decade. With beautiful lakefront living, thriving master-planned communities, scenic wooded neighborhoods, and strong schools, it’s quickly become one of the most desirable relocation markets in Greater Houston.

I’m Jordan Schilleci, a Houston-area realtor and relocation specialist, and one of the most common questions I’m asked by pet owners moving to the area is:
“Which neighborhoods around Lake Conroe have their own dog parks?”
While many communities offer walking trails and pet-friendly spaces, only a handful include true, fenced, HOA-managed dog parks. Below is the complete list from your amenity dataset.
Why People Love Living in Conroe, Montgomery & Willis
This area appeals to residents who want:
- Lake lifestyle options (boating, fishing, waterfront dining)
- Scenic, wooded master-planned communities
- Strong Montgomery ISD & Willis ISD schools
- More land + lower density than Houston suburbs
- An easy commute into The Woodlands
- Outdoor living year-round
For pet owners, the mix of lakefront trails, large parks, and select communities with private dog parks makes this region especially inviting.

Easiest Way to Find the Right Suburb of City For You
Please know that scheduling a call with me is the easiest way to determine which city or suburb is best for you. Helping you figure out the best city or suburb is one of my favorite things to do. I pride myself on many things, but this would be the best first step. From there, I can help you figure out your budget. If you are financing your purchase, I can recommend a fantastic lender. Next, we want to take a look at your timeline, and then the fun begins: we will start house-hunting. Once you have narrowed it down to one or two homes, we start the offer writing process, which is another place I shine. Over the last 10 years, I have established a good reputation with listing agents, and I love this communication process. Once you are under contract on a home, I will navigate you to the closing table, starting with a reputable home inspection recommendation. With Jo & Co. by your side, this whole process will be guided and as seamless as possible.
I cannot wait to get started. Hugs, Jo & Edward.
