Bear Branch Village is one of 21 original Kingwood Villages established in the early 70’s and is part of the successful example of the enormous “master planned community” growth which has occurred in larger US metropolitan areas like Houston over the past 50 years. Located in the piney woods of northeast Houston, along Kingwood Drive and Woodland Hills Parkway. The subdivision includes over 1,000 homes in its 7 residential and commercial sections. While most homes were built by the mid 80’s, some recent construction can be found. Resale homes sizes range from 2,000 to 4,500 SF, with recent sales in 2008 generally ranging from the $110’s to $260’s and a median sales price per square foot around $69.00. Bear Branch Village is bordered by the neighboring Kingwood Villages of Woodland Hills, Hunter’s Ridge, Kings Crossing, and Kings Forest.

Kingwood began in 1969 as a collaboration between legendary landowner, King Ranch, and Exxon’s Friendswood Development Company. The resulting community exists beneath the canopy of 14,000 wooded acres on the shores of Lake Houston and the San Jacinto River.
