Before you move here
The Good, The Bad & The Reality.
Want to live by Lake Conroe at one of the lower price points around the lake? Lake Conroe Hills has that. But there is no posted amenity list or dues, and a MUD sits on top of Willis ISD, so ask a lot of questions before you write an offer.
The Good
- Lower values for the lakeHAR's 2025 median market value is $253,900, with a range of $173,000 to $440,000.1
- Lake shorelineCommunity Impact described shoreline along Lake Conroe with fishing and watersport opportunities.3
- Close to WillisThe neighborhood sits on FM 1097 with access to the shopping centers in Willis.3
- Larger lots than many new buildsHAR's median lot is 9,374 square feet.1
- National forest nearbyScott's Ridge, off FM 1097, has a swim area and a year-round boat ramp.4
The Bad
- A MUD rate to confirmHAR lists Lake Conroe Hills MUD, which is not on the county's 2026 rate sheet, so confirm its rate on the appraisal account.12
- No posted dues or amenitiesThe association is registered with the state, but we found no website with its dues or amenities.6
- Smaller, older homes in placesHAR's median home is 1,722 square feet, and the neighborhood has been building out since before 2016, so condition varies.13
- Sewer or septicSJRA permits septic systems within 2,075 feet of the lake, so ask how the home handles sewer.13
- Lake paperworkPrivate docks need an SJRA license with an annual fee, and SJRA does not promise any lake level.14
The Reality
- Michael’s bottom lineLake Conroe Hills is the value play on this side of the lake, but it asks more homework of the buyer. I would confirm the MUD rate and the sewer setup, get the resale certificate early, and on a lake lot ask for the SJRA dock license and check the elevations.
- You may love it ifBuyers who want to be near Lake Conroe at a lower price point
- You may love it ifBuyers who want larger lots and an established neighborhood
- You may love it ifBuyers who like the national forest and swim area nearby
- Consider elsewhere ifIf you want a gate, marina and posted amenities, look at Point Aquarius.
- Consider elsewhere ifIf you want newer homes with a community boat ramp, compare Water Crest on Lake Conroe.
- Consider elsewhere ifIf you want a city address, look at Willis.
Michael’s Take · broker opinion, based on the sourced facts above
My take: Lake Conroe Hills is the value play on this side of the lake, but it asks more homework of the buyer. I would confirm the MUD rate and the sewer setup, get the resale certificate early, and on a lake lot ask for the SJRA dock license and check the elevations.
