With its unique blend of countryside, culture and college life, the city of Prairie View is a well-kept secret. Located in Waller County, Prairie View is northwest of the metropolis, Houston, the fourth largest city in the country. Prairie View is a rural suburban community positioned for growth.

Situated at the intersection of US Highway 290/Texas 6 and University Drive (FM 1098), the City of Prairie View is centered in one of the largest agricultural producing areas of the world. There are miles of open country space primed for new commercial and residential developments.
