Riverstone

Master planned communities like Riverstone, Telfair, New Territory and Chelsea Harbour rank among the best places to live in Sugar Land.

The Concept of the Master Planned Community
Master planned communities have been gaining in popularity since the concept was first introduced forty years ago. Unlike “organic” communities which simply grow as new people arrive, master planned communities are conceptualized before building ever begins. Before ground is broken for the first sewer and pipe lines, the developer and architects have already created artists’ renderings of what the completed community will look like. Because they are planned in advance, master planned communities like Riverstone, widely acknowledged as one of the best places to live in Sugar Land, include amenities that many other communities don’t have. Green space is built into the design, and often includes parks, hiking trails and other recreational use land. Most master planned communities also include retail shops, entertainment venues and other amenities that are considered important by the community. In a world that is increasingly dependent on the automobile for transportation, master planned communities are often created with an underlying concern for the environment. Important amenities like groceries and other service businesses are located within easy distance to cut down the necessity to drive, and the natural environment is considered and preserved.

Nowadays, Sugar Land is more well-known as an affluent, comfortable city in the Houston metro area. The median household income in Sugar Land is $101,000 and the average value of a residence is $216,720. The real estate stock and available homes in and around Sugar Land include luxury townhomes and family homes starting at about $230,000 and ranging in price up to luxury custom built homes up to over $1 million.

Riverstone is a 3,700 acre mixed-use, master planned community whose design is centered around 250 acres of lakes, resort-style amenities and over 500 acres of green space and parklands. Planned for over 6,000 architecturally diverse homes from the $200's to over $3 million, Riverstone will be home to more than 18,000 residents. The community will bring world-class amenities including lakefront home sites, numerous pool and recreation centers, lighted tennis courts, and 24 miles of nature friendly walkways and jogging trails. More than half of the community is forested with large pecan trees and hardwoods; the community also includes two miles of frontage along the Brazos River.

Commercial sites in the development are located on University and Riverstone Boulevards. In addition, 50 acres of premier commercial frontage is located on Highway 6, which includes Chili's, Johnny Carino's, Bed Bath & Beyond, Office Depot, LA Fitness among many other retailers. Residents enjoy the benefit of easy access to nearby medical centers, police and fire protection, outstanding schools, churches, shopping, restaurants and entertainment venues.
