The Highlands

Newmark Homes now offers an array of brand new beautiful homes at The Highlands, a masterfully planned community in Porter, Texas, in the heart of popular Montgomery County. Centrally located between New Caney, Spring, and The Woodlands, The Highlands features 2,310 acres of peaceful country living with outstanding amenities. At The Highlands, residents will have access to an on-site golf course, a centrally-located recreational lake, a waterpark, playgrounds, tennis courts, a fitness center, an outdoor pavilion, as well as miles of hiking, biking, and nature trails to enjoy and explore. Located in Montgomery County, Porter is a highly desirable Houston suburb located approximately 25 miles northeast of its downtown. This sleepy community has a vibrant history tied to the early railroad, like so many other Texas towns. Porter was originally founded in 1878 after the Houston East-West Transportation Company laid tracks in the area to connect Texarcana and Houston. Porter is known for its low cost of living, robust jobs market, affordable housing options, and excellent public schools. Both Porter and Montgomery County are regionally recognized for their abundance of outdoor recreational opportunities.

The county is home to Lake Conroe, Goodrich Jones State Forest, and the Sam Houston National Forest, which are easily accessible from The Highlands. Students living in the Highlands attend schools in the New Caney Independent School District, where educators believe that specific skills, knowledge, and attitudes are essential for a purposeful and productive life. The New Caney Independent School District is committed to creating modern learning environments in high-quality facilities that provide students with a range of opportunities to be the best they can be, now and in the future. The district is planning an on-site elementary school within The Highlands community that is slated to open in 2025.
