| • | Acres Homes, Texas is a wooded area northwest of the city of Houston. Established during World War I, it was once considered to be the largest unincorporated African American community in the South. It was originally subdivided into large lots and marketed to African Americans. Still primarily African American, the community now includes a combination of large areas of pine forests with only a scattering of homes: small tract homes built in standard suburban subdivisions, and large comfortable homes on well-maintained wooded lots. There is little commercial or industrial development. It covers 5,733 acres (9.0 square miles).
The eastern part of the community is located in the Houston Independent School District (7 public schools), the western part is in the Aldine ISD (3 public schools). Water and sewer service was introduced into the original subdivisions during the 1970s as the area was annexed by the City of Houston. It is represented by Houston City Council Districts A and B.
Rapper Chamilionaire was born and raised here.
