Living in Tomball
Tomball is a small city in northwest Harris County, about 31 miles from Downtown by car along State Highway 249. It grew up around the railroad in the early 1900s and is named for Thomas Henry Ball, the congressman who helped bring the line through. Old Town Tomball still has its depot, antique shops and festivals, while new subdivisions, shopping and medical offices have spread along SH 249 and the Grand Parkway.

- Choice of homes. Older homes in town, new master-planned communities and acreage properties a short drive out.

- Easy access. SH 249 and the Tomball Tollway connect to Houston, and the Grand Parkway links to The Woodlands, Cypress and Katy.
