What You Should Know About Fort Bend County Gated Communities
Posted by JohnsonDevelopment in Real EstateFort Bend County gated communities are generally located within Missouri City, Texas. Some master-planned communities were originally meant to house the residences of 18,000 residents only. This meant putting up only 6,000 homes to prevent congestion (a common problem in real estate projects where the developer does not strictly enforce limits on the population.) Some occupy a total of 250 acres in top gated communities. In Fort Bend County they are nestled amidst lakes, and pedestrian trails and walkways exist to link one community to another.
Another 500 acres are scheduled to be developed further and will feature parks, open common spaces, and recreational amenities. More than 50% of the space currently in use is devoted to hardwoods and pecan trees that provide graceful greenery and much-needed shade and fresh air to residents and visitors alike. A recreational complex has already been built amongst these gated communities to serve the needs of residents for a fishing pier, well-lighted tennis courts, a playground, and a pool made to resort-style standards.
Homes in the different gated communities command a price ranging from $200,000 per home to more than $1 million apiece, depending of course on the size of the property and its design.Properties you will find in various gated communities were constructed by many of the best builders Houston, Texas has to offer.
Many of the custom homes were built on lakefront locations within gated enclosures and which can be accessed through private streets - this helps to guarantee that the community will not be spoiled by outsiders simply passing through and prevents entry by vandals and thieves.
Prices for townhomes start at $220,000 and maxes out at around $260,000 - definitely affordable for buyers such as upwardly mobile singles and young couples who are just starting to establish themselves in their careers but have enough income to start investing in a home for themselves. The townhomes have private garages, fenced-off courtyards, and granite countertops, which only add to their present and future value.
University Boulevard, which is still under construction, is expected to serve as a major link between US 59-South and Highway 6. This means residents of Fort Bend County gated communities will be able to easily drive or commute to University of Houston (found within the Sugar Land campus.) And if residents want or need to go into nearby Houston for shopping, entertainment or to work, they may opt to use the Fort Bend Parkway Toll Road instead.
Potential homeowners need not worry that their children will find it difficult to get an education because of the location. The Austin Parkway Elementary School, First Colony Middle School, and Elkins High School (which all belong to the Fort Bend Independent School District) are easily accessible and can provide quality education to children and even children from surrounding communities.
If residents get bored and want to explore the surrounding territory, they can visit local attractions such as the Brazos Bend State Park, the Fort Bend Challenger Center, the Fort Bend Theater, Fort Bend County Fair and Livestock Show, and the Fort Bend Museum (among others.) Whatever your entertainment needs are, there is something for everyone.
