Discover Popular Atascocita in West Houston

Atascocita is a quickly growing community in western Harris County within the greater Houston metropolitan area. It borders on Humble, which was an oil boomtown in the early 1900s. With abundant natural scenery and quiet neighborhoods, Atascocita has earned a reputation as one of the best places in Texas to retire.

Many associate Atascocita with unparalleled outdoor recreation. You can go boating or fishing at Lake Houston (an enormous man-made reservoir), or hike and camp on the northern banks. There are three well-known golf courses in the area: the Atascocita Country Club, Walden on Lake Houston Golf and Country Club, and Tour 18. The Lindsay/Lyons Park and Sports Complex is another attraction for athletes of all ages with baseball, football, softball and soccer fields. It also has a sensory garden for children with impaired sight.

Families are attracted to Atascocita for its highly regarded school system. Constructed in 2006, Atascocita High School was designed to look like Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello estate. Since opening, the school has earned many accolades for academic performance. Additionally, students in Atascocita may apply to the Quest Early College High School, a magnet school. Lone Star College opened its Atascocita Center in 2011. At the Center, students may pursue a GED, English as a Second Language and other courses. It also includes the Academy for Lifelong Learning for seniors.

Although Atascocita has a pleasant, small-town ambiance, it’s only 18 miles to downtown Houston. It is also conveniently close to the George Bush Intercontinental Airport, the second busiest airport in Texas. Fun fact: This airport was the first in North America to offer nonstop flights to every inhabited continent.

Things to Do in Atascocita, near Houston, TX

Begin your journey in Atascocita with a visit to the Humble Museum, showcasing the history of the Lake Houston region. Here, you can learn all about the area’s early history, including the oil boom that put Houston on the map. Browse fascinating artifacts from the city’s infancy and discover the people who made it what it is today, such as Gladys La Trelle James, co-founder of the famed La Trelle’s restaurant franchise, or Dr. Haden E. McKay, Jr., who served as Humble’s beloved mayor for 24 years and as a local physician for more than six decades.

Fast forward to the present at Atascocita Park, which opened in 2020 as a premier outdoor destination. The $11.5 million project gives Atascocita residents a large playground with a skywalk, a 1-acre dog park and a 2.5-acre pond with a boardwalk. It also includes an expansive picnic pavilion and an 8-mile hike-and-bike trail.

Spend a day with the family at Old MacDonald’s Farm, an adored park, entertainment space and petting zoo in Humble. In addition to petting zoo classics (goats, sheep, cows and pigs), kids can also get up close to deer, llamas, emus and a tortoise. The farm also offers pony rides, a train ride and a swimming pool. In October, families are invited to pick their own pumpkins.

For a day trip or overnighter, head north to the Lake Houston Wilderness Park, which encompasses nearly 5,000 acres of marshy woodland. The only park in Houston that permits overnight camping, it’s a great place to escape the city, “rough it” in the wilderness or enjoy the comforts of glamping at one of the park’s log cabins. You might decide to hike along the park’s 20 miles of trails or kayak along tree-lined creeks.

Nothing beats ending a good day lounging lakeside in Atascocita with some true Texas barbecue. Tin Roof BBQ is a local, family-owned mainstay, serving up house-smoked brisket, sausages, pork ribs, sides and baked potatoes “as big as Houston itself.” Come for the mouthwatering food but stay for the Texan décor, karaoke nights and live music. Some good news — it’s less than 10 minutes from our facility.
