The Jubilee community in Hockley, northwest of Houston, is preparing to begin home sales as part of its 12-year plan to develop 5,000 homes in the area.

The Jubilee community, a health-focused development by Johnson Development, located southwest of U.S. 290 and Katy Hockley Road in Hockley, northwest of Houston, is an extensive project with several key features and upcoming events:

1. Project Overview: The Jubilee community is a large-scale development covering 1,622 acres. It is planned to consist of 4,900 homes and will be developed in multiple phases over the next 12 years.

2. Amenities and Green Space: The masterplan for Jubilee includes the addition of thousands of homes, approximately 30 acres of parks and amenities, and over 270 acres of green space and waterways. This will provide ample recreational and outdoor spaces for the residents.

3. Health-Focused Design: The community's primary focus is on promoting a healthy lifestyle. Builders are incorporating features to enhance air and water quality, and the lighting design is intended to support residents' circadian rhythms, which can contribute to improved sleep and overall well-being.

4. Smart Homes: Homes in Jubilee will come equipped with modern technology, including a home automation panel, smart thermostats, a smart front door lock, a video doorbell, and other safety features to enhance residents' convenience and security.

5. Wellness Focus: Jubilee aims to be a holistic community that supports both physical and mental wellness. In addition to traditional amenities like walking trails and fitness centers, the development will include spaces designed for meditation and relaxation, providing residents with opportunities to destress and unwind.

6. Community Events: The development plans to host community events and activities to foster a sense of togetherness among residents.

7. Home Sales: The first phase of Jubilee, which comprises 491 homesites, is scheduled to open for home sales early in the upcoming year. Builders for the development include Chesmar Homes, Coventry Homes, David Weekley Homes, Highland Homes, Newmark Homes, Perry Homes, Tri Pointe Homes, and Westin Homes.

8. Home Variety: The first phases of homes will feature different lot sizes, ranging from two-bedroom to five-bedroom homes. The specific price ranges for these homes are expected to be released soon, with pricing likely to be competitive with other new communities in the area.

9. Opening Dates: Model homes are expected to open in February, and the grand opening for Jubilee is planned for the first weekend of May 2024.

The Jubilee community appears to be a comprehensive and health-conscious development that offers a wide range of amenities and features to create a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle for its residents.
