ARTAVIA Conroe TX — Community Guide 2026
2,842 acres of wooded terrain. 10 builders. A 5-acre lake with kayaks and paddle boats. Art installations throughout the trails. ARTAVIA is North Houston's most distinctive master-planned community — and its philosophy shows in every corner.
The Live Colorfully Philosophy
ARTAVIA was developed by AIRIA Development Company with a singular vision: a master-planned community that integrates art, nature, and lifestyle in a way that no other Houston-area community has attempted. The result is a neighborhood where Texas artist Jeffie Brewer's sculptural ARTscapes — whimsical, colorful doodles come to life — are integrated into the landscaping, trail network, and model home park backyards.
This isn't superficial theming. The ARTAVIA model home park is one of the most distinctive in Texas — 15 model homes with uniquely designed backyards where the artwork is part of the presentation. ARTAVIA won the NAHB National Silver Award for Master-Planned Community of the Year, and in 2025, it took home the Best TV Spot at the Texas Association of Builders awards.
Dapple Park & Palate Café
The 13-acre Dapple Park amenity center is the social heart of ARTAVIA. It features a 5-acre lake with kayak and paddleboat rentals, a resort-style pool, a 24/7 fitness center, a splash park, and scenic lakefront pavilion areas. The Palate Café operates within the amenity center — an on-site restaurant that serves as a daily gathering spot and sets ARTAVIA apart from communities where residents have to drive off-campus for food and coffee.

Cost of Ownership
ARTAVIA is within the City of Conroe, with an effective property tax rate of approximately 2.93% as of 2024 (includes MUD fees for water, sewer, drainage infrastructure). For a $400,000 home, that translates to approximately $11,720 in annual taxes plus HOA fees of approximately $1,020 annually. This is higher than comparable communities outside MUD districts — factor it into your total monthly payment calculation.
Ryan Brown — Principal Broker & CEO · FL BK3626873ARTAVIA's model home park is unlike anything else in Houston. When you see artist Jeffie Brewer's sculptures in the backyards and the Palate Café on the lake, you realize this community was designed by people who actually thought about what makes a neighborhood feel alive.
