The History
How Royal Shores came to be.
The story behind this luxury community, in plain language, as the Sharcom Realty Group team tells it to buyers who are just starting their search. Dates and figures are approximate and drawn from public histories; verify specifics before you rely on them.
Kings Point and Royal Shores sit in the Lake Houston area of Kingwood, the forest-first master-planned community that began development in the early 1970s on land assembled by King Ranch interests and Friendswood Development.
These waterfront and estate sections were built around Lake Houston's coves, large lots and the greenbelt trail system that defines Kingwood, served by Humble ISD.
