Items within or related to areas outside of the CDP are italicized. This list does not include places without "Spring, Texas" postal addresses. The community college district has no locations with Spring, Texas addresses but is listed anyway since it broadly serves residents of the CDP and others with "Spring" addresses. The public library has a location outside of the CDP and with a "Spring, Texas" address, Barbara Bush Branch Library, while the nearest library to the CDP is Baldwin Boettcher Branch Library at Mercer Park, which has an "Humble, Texas" address.
