Iowa Colony

Iowa Colony, TX · Highway 288 Corridor · Alvin ISD

Iowa Colony is a fast-growing new-construction city along the Highway 288 corridor, anchored by Meridiana, Sierra Vista, and Creekhaven — all zoned to Alvin ISD. Meridiana spans into neighboring Manvel as it grows, so verify exact section and school assignment before you buy. It’s about 24 miles south of Downtown Houston and the Texas Medical Center, with Pearland just up the road for additional shopping and dining.
