Gogo's take on Remington Ranch
“Go with care. Remington Ranch is an established, dense residential subdivision that is generally quiet during the day and primarily serves local families. While safer than the busy commercial corridors immediately adjacent along Interstate 45, visitors should remain mindful of property crime and vehicle break-ins.”
About the area
Remington Ranch is a master-planned single-family residential community in North Houston situated just north of Beltway 8 and west of Interstate 45. Developed largely in the mid-2000s, it consists of closely spaced suburban homes, neighborhood pocket parks, and a community recreation area. The area is purely residential, with shopping and dining concentrated along peripheral arterial roads.
