Waller County: From Rural Roots to Urban Growth

Waller County, historically a traditional rural area in Texas, is undergoing a significant transformation towards urbanization. This transition is characterized by rapid population growth, a trend that has been consistent since 2012. Despite this change, the county remains committed to the time-honored values that have long been a hallmark of Texas.

As the "last frontier" for the immediate Houston region, Waller County is seeing a surge in residential development. There are currently over 24 new residential subdivisions in various stages of development, with plans for approximately 50,000 new homes. This development is projected to double the county's population within the next 5-8 years.

This growth brings opportunities and challenges, requiring careful planning and management to ensure that the community retains its unique character and values while planning for future development.
