City of Manvel
Strategically placed at the intersection of State Highway 288 and State Highway 6, just 18 miles south of downtown Houston, the City of Manvel is one that is seeing rapid residential and commercial growth inside the boundaries of its 40 square miles. Since its founding in 1961, the population in Manvel has exploded from less than 5,000 to more than 16,000 in recent years. With its rural community still present and active the in the development of the City, Manvel is dedicated to respecting its history and ensuring it stays connected to its roots. Development is centered around the retention of its small-town, family-oriented feel as both new businesses and subdivisions develop next to horse and cattle ranches. Manvel is located only a short drive from the Texas Medical Center, Rice University, the University of Houston, and Houston’s Hobby Airport, offering access to all the amenities of a major metropolitan area while still being far enough away to provide the relaxed, quiet lifestyle enjoyed by its rural community.
