Cy-Fair is getting a rather large master planned community designed around a series of interconnected lakes, and I am not talking about Bridgeland!
The Houston Chronicle had an article a few days ago about a new 2400 acre master planned community called Towne Lakes that is going in on the south side of Hwy 290 between Barker Cypress and Fry Rd. Caldwell Watson Real Estate Group is the developer of this project.
A full 300 acres of this community, approximately 1/8th of the entire subdivision, is going to be water. According to the article, residents will be able to travel from one end of the community to the other via boat.
“Every single portion of the neighborhoods will have some sort of access to the lake or canals,” said Peter Barnhart, vice president of residential development at Caldwell Watson. “Coupling that with the town center, we’ll be providing housing opportunities across a myriad of price points.”
Mr. Barnhart goes on to say in the article:
“You can get in a boat and go from one side to the other side, which is about 4 miles. You can get in a boat anywhere in the community and get anywhere else in the community.”
If you are looking to purchase a home on a man-made lake, the northwest part of Houston is an excellent place to look. In addition to Towne Lakes, the Cy-Fair area has Bridgeland and Sydney Harbour both of which are also built around robust lake systems.
