Cinco Ranch was the nation’s number one master-planned community (MPC) for new-home sales in 2009, according to a report by RCLCO, an independent real estate advisory firm.
With 887 new-home sales in 2009, Cinco Ranch was one of only two Houston MPCs on RCLCO’s top 10 list to report a sales increase from the previous year.
Sales increased 14% last year in the 7,600-acre community, located at Grand Parkway and Cinco Ranch Blvd. in Katy. The increase helped Cinco Ranch grab the top spot in the study, after ranking number two in 2008 behind a Las Vegas development.
The only other Houston area community with a sales increase for 2009 was Telfair in Sugar Land, also by Newland Communities. With 450 new-home sales in 2009, Telfair ranked fourth nationally in the RCLCO study.
“These results are outstanding for us,” said Bob McLeod, Chairman and CEO of Newland Read the rest of this entry »

One of the highly regarded features of living in a master-planned community, like Cinco Ranch, is the promise of predictability. Winter flowers are replaced with spring bedding plants. The landscaping is always tasteful but spectacular. In Cinco Ranch, the crepe myrtles bloom in mass. The water features are pristine and a delight to visit.
Property values are maintained by strict guidelines, enforced when necessary. The Architectural Control Committee is to administer decisions fairly and equitably always deciding in favor of sustaining property values.
So, what’s up now? Why aren’t more Cinco Ranch residents aware of the ongoing dispute? Read the rest of this entry »

Does it make you angry when a Katy developer comes through and randomly plows down all the trees in their way? Hardwoods, too, like fabulous old oaks. It breaks my heart. Profit is great but working alongside Mother Nature, creating a win-win is even better. These same developers boast about “being green” but the obvious is the obvious. How much “greener” can you get than a tree? Give me a break!
When I got the call to list 1022 Woodcreek Cove Lane in Woodcreek Reserve, I was thrilled! (Above is the view from the front door of my listing; it looks onto Buffalo Bayou and the neighborhood amenities.) The master-planned community of Woodcreek Reserve, a favorite of mine, is located just south of I-10 at FM 1463. This is the exit for the Leonard E. Merrell Center located on the north side of I-10.

Although I home office, I love to attend our working luncheons at Keller Williams Katy, especially those when a developer visits to announce a new development coming to the Katy area. The recent announcement of Cross Creek Ranch, developed by Trendmaker, was a grand surprise and a special thrill!

To many gardeners, a Firethorne is a hybridized plant in the pyracantha family. Not so for Katy residents, our Firethorne is a rapidly developing 1,400 acre master-planned community located on FM 1463 in the Katy/Fulshear area. When Firethorne is built out, there will be 3,600 more homes in the area. I don’t have to tell you that Katy is exploding west of Katy Mills Mall.
Like the just announced Cross Creek Ranch master-planned development, Firethorne includes a large amount of open areas, green space, lakes and parks. Firethorne has designated 150 acres for parks and recreation; a 12-acre lake with surrounding Read the rest of this entry »
