Live Here. Build Here. Grow Here……Discover What’s Possible
In the past decade, the Lake Houston area has transformed into a major economic hub in the Houston Metro, now home to approximately 323,760 residents with a median age of 34.9. This youthful, expanding population is fueled by strong residential growth — up more than 15% from 2016 to 2021 — and rising household incomes (now around $94,000).
Strategically located with excellent infrastructure (major highways, proximity to George Bush Airport and the Port of Houston), Lake Houston supports a diverse mix of industries — healthcare, life sciences, retail, and corporate headquarters. The 4,000-acre Generation Park further underscores its appeal for both startups and global firms. lakehouston.org
The region's workforce is both deep and accessible, thanks to high-performance educational institutions like Lone Star College and job-training organizations. The labor pool reflects Houston's broader cultural and linguistic diversity: nearly one in four residents in the metro are foreign-born, and more than 145 languages are spoken region-wide.
Moreover, as Lake Houston grows, it's supported by favorable business incentives—local tax abatements and state economic development programs make it a compelling location for companies of all sizes.
In short, Lake Houston is not just growing — it's evolving into a global-ready, innovation-driven, and culturally rich community that offers businesses and residents alike a powerful platform for opportunity.
Although our investor’s support comes from all across Texas, the Partnership Lake Houston area, as state in the bylaws includes the zip codes 77044, 77338, 77339, 77345, 77346, and 77396. The following information reflects this geographic area.
Highways – Because of the area’s strong transportation infrastructure the Lake Houston Area is ideal for the growth of local businesses and new commercial development. With easy access to major highways such as the Grand Parkway, Beltway 8, FM 1960, I-10, I-45, and I-69, commute times are reduced exponentially. This advantage gives business owners the opportunity to have a greater reach to consumers and distributors across the Houston area.
Airport – The George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) is a little over ten miles away from the Lake Houston Area, providing great accessibility for out-of-town guests, business professionals, and cargo shipments. Ranked as the best U.S. Airport and Second-Best in North America at the World Airport Awards, IAH is the hub of Houston travel. With over thirty passenger airlines and twenty cargo airlines stationed from its five terminals and 130 gates, IAH provides prime access to both domestic and international destinations.
Railway – With rail access to Union Pacific, transporting goods across the United States is convenient for those in the Lake Houston area. As one of America’s most recognized companies, Union Pacific Railroad connects 23 states in the western two-thirds of the country by rail, providing a critical link in the global supply chain. This is a great benefit for a wide span of industries especially automotive companies, construction, and agriculture, who rely on goods from out of state on a regular basis.
Sea Shipments – As the United States’s number one region for exports, Houston is proud to be a center of sea shipments through the Houston Ship Channel and Port of Houston. By providing nearly 3.2 million jobs, $801.9 billion in economic value, and more than $38.1 billion in tax revenue, the Port of Houston alone helps to support the Lake Houston business development. As the global demand for our region’s crude oil increases, both the petrochemical and energy sectors will continue to benefit from the accessibility of international imports and exports.
Metro Vanpool is a regional program, subsidized by the Metropolitan Council, to help meet the commuting needs of commuters who reside or work in the seven-county metropolitan area, including the Partnership Lake Houston Area.  Vanpools have four to 15 people sharing the ride to and from work an average of three or more days a week. Each van has a volunteer driver and back-up driver(s). The Metro Vanpool program is available to people with disabilities and offers financial assistance to vanpools of five or more people.
