Lake Livingston Village
Affordable, dispersed and eclectic. It includes full-time residents, weekend/RV use where allowed, small homes and many vacant investment lots.
Overview
A very large, ungated private subdivision with about 3,600 properties across 14 sections. Much of it remains undeveloped, creating a wide range of prices and property conditions.
Community vibe
Affordable, dispersed and eclectic. It includes full-time residents, weekend/RV use where allowed, small homes and many vacant investment lots.

Community boat ramp to Lake Livingston plus parks/pavilion. Only a small share of properties are waterfront; many sections are inland.
Typical homes and lot sizes
Mostly small platted lots, often roughly 3,000–8,000 square feet, with combined lots common. Housing ranges from RV/mobile setups where a section permits them to compact site-built homes; some larger combined parcels exist.

Before you buy here
Confirm the school district at the parcel level with the district itself, not from a mailing address. Get a resale certificate for any HOA or POA rather than relying on a listing. Check broadband at the specific address. For waterfront, review the survey, flood zone, elevation certificate and any dock or bulkhead permits.
