Located an hour north of Houston along Interstate 45, Willis is a small suburban city just outside of Conroe. Surrounded by the region’s unspoiled natural beauty, Willis is a terrific place for outdoors enthusiasts: the vast Sam Houston National Forest curves around the community, providing excellent opportunities for hiking, hunting, and camping. Lake Conroe and Lake Livingston are nearby as well, making it easy to spend a weekend boating or fishing. Folks in Willis enjoy easy access to a collective of locally-owned restaurants, from Leroy’s Bar-BQ to the Big Bad Wolf Bakery to the classic Original Super Burger. The larger city of Conroe to the south provides a much more diverse offering of dining, entertainment, and nightlife, and of course Houston is close enough to hop down and enjoy a night on the town anytime.
