Tomball Overview

Considered part of the larger Houston metro region, Tomball apartments represent a great slice of downhome Texas life. From scenic prairie landscapes to the amenities and convenience that a modern city dictates, this winning locale is a gem of the Lone Star State.

What is the history of Tomball?

Initiated as a farmland community, Tomball truly came into its own with the addition of a train stop depot in the early 1900s. Running cargo to Galveston and beyond, this charming city quickly continued to snowball its growth with the addition of oil and gas industries into the 1930s. Melding a close proximity to Houston while still maintaining a distinctly Texan way of country life, Tomball continues to remain a hot draw for residents to this very day.

How is the weather in Tomball?

Those living in Tomball apartments can expect their air conditioners to get a good work out each summer, with temperatures reaching well into the high 90s and humidity a constant. Conversely, the winter months tend to be mild and comfy, with snow a rarity. Spring rains are typical and the fall nights bring cooler temperatures as well as football season.

How do I get around town?

While Hooks Memorial Airport caters to smaller flights and regional air travel, the Houston Airport is located just a few miles away and services most of the greater United States. Bus service is limited but available, and most Tomball apartment residents claim ownership of a car or truck to help them get around.

What is the Tomball commute like?

State Highway 249 runs North to South, while FM 2920 covers the eastern and western ends of Tomball proper. Many residents commute to the work force of Houston, and I-610 and other major roadways zig-zagging the city are quite prone to congestion. Morning and afternoon travel times can drag on to hair-raising levels, and many Tomball rental residents opt to carpool for this reason.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Tomball Potpourri' is the local go-to print media, with Houston papers such as the 'Chronicle' and 'Houston Sun' also popular in the area. Radio is eclectic, ranging from talk to gospel, sporting news to classic rock, and television offerings include national favorites like CBS, FOX and AMC.

Why live in Tomball, TX?

Truly offering the best of both worlds, apartments in Tomball effortlessly meld the great scenic natural beauty of rural Texas with the easy access and employment opportunities of big city Houston. Schools are in high regard, making the city an ideal place for families on the move, and the Regional Medical Center is one of the most lauded in the state. From public park lands to great, friendly neighborhoods, Tomball apartments are truly in a league of their own.

What Tomball landmarks should I see?

Nearby Houston offers plenty of landmarks for the Tomball resident. The Harris County Public Library contains thousands of books and exudes a deep sense of history, while the nearby Houston Theater District boasts almost 17 square blocks of cultural immersion. Hermann Park is a tranquil slice of natural beauty, and NRG Stadium houses the Houston Texans and simply must be seen to be believed.

What is there to do around Tomball?

Being not to far from Houston, you'll find plenty to do to get out of the Tomball apartment and enjoy. The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston makes a great place to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon, and the downtown Tomball square is highlighted by a variety of eateries and charming retail shops. Live music is never far away, with venues like The Secret Group and House of Blues presenting nationally-known headliners regularly within a short drive to Houston. The National Museum of Funeral History is a truly unique way to spend the day (check out the Pope-mobile!), and the Houston Museum of Natural Sciences is both stimulating and informative.

Any annual festivals or Tomball events to know?

Holidays hold a special place for residents of Tomball apartments, with July 4th and Christmas both getting parades in their honor. The annual Free Press Summer Stage in H-Town brings huge crowds and big name performers to the area, and the Houston Whatever Fest combines world-class comedy with indie rock and hip-hop headliners every spring.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Get your voodoo on with a road trip to the mystery of New Orleans, or spend a weekend in Austin, live music capital of the world and all-around great destination of Texas. Galveston boasts wonderful swimming and tubing opportunities, with Baton Rouge and its famous crawfish a reasonable drive away as well.

Where is the best place to move in Tomball?

For those looking for luxury the North Star Estates region has plenty to offer in spades, and the family apartments and rental homes of Cherry Street are always in constant demand. The natural splendor of Tomball Pines is a great place to call home, and numerous Tomball apartments can be found along the Town Center vicinity. Wherever you end up, it is sure to be distinctly Texas! Good luck with your search!
