Huntsville, Texas — population around 46,000 — is the county seat of Walker County and home to Sam Houston State University. It sits on I-45 about 70 miles north of Houston, making it an increasingly popular choice for people who want small-city living within commuting distance of the Houston metro.
Neighborhoods: the historic downtown and areas around Sam Houston State skew toward rentals and older homes. North of downtown along Highway 75 and the I-45 corridor offer newer subdivisions. The Elkins Lake community is a private residential development with a golf course popular with retirees.
Utilities: Huntsville utilities are managed through the City of Huntsville. Set up electric, water, and trash service through the city utilities department before move-in day.
Schools: Huntsville Independent School District serves most of Walker County. Sam Houston State University is the dominant higher-education presence.
