Bridgeland? (Houston, The Woodlands: appliances, new house, neighborhoods)

[Championsiscool]

This is a great community that I think will do well in the long run. The developer had issues, as noted, and now seems to have worked through those.

I am keen on new construction, but geez, touring the model street is tiring and confsuing for buyers. However, the long term plan for the community is something people grasp. In the resale market, I think this will prevail.

In the short term, we will all need to deal with the plan and understand where Houston is going in terms of a job market and expansion. With this factored in, I think The Bridgelands will continue to grow in value.

I've shown several homes in Bridgeland and have had several buyers purchase there. There is also Cypress Creek Lakes across the way from Bridgeland as well. In my opinion, they will continue to build in the community. It may not ever be as large as Cinco, but still a really nice community closer in to Houston.

Bridgeland has 12,000 acres of land. Cinco is right at 6900 acres of land. If Bridgeland builds this out, it will be larger than Cinco. Granted, Cinco has been around 20 years, so this is new and fresh and will take 20 years. Someone had to buy into Cinco 20 years ago. So I look at is as a ground floor opportunity to buy into something that will grow. I wish I would have bought into Cinco 20 years ago! But now the prices are too high out there and I can afford more home in Bridgeland. Soon, that might not be the case out in Bridgeland.

I thought Cinco was closer to 10,000 acres, or at least over 7K. I know Newland bought more land for Cinco.

Last I heard Cinco was just over 8,000 acres. Not sure if that includes the newest bit of land they will be developing starting this year along 1463. Probably does.

Hmm, not sure, I know that they did buy more land, but I don't think they are over 10,000 yet. I just read this, not sure how accurate they are:


"In 2010, Newland Communities acquired 474 acres to expand Cinco Ranch from 7,600 acres to 8,074 acres, providing land for an additional 1,200 homes."

yeah Bridgeland should have more land at 11,400 acre. I like the subdivision, just wish they made the road a little bit wider and a better system of road flow within where the houses are, seems kind of confusing. I almost bought there, but change my mind. I do have to say the subdivision is beautiful and seems very peaceful.

I got lost for about 30 minutes trying to find a friends house.
It was my first and only time in there, but wow.

Hmm, never had a hard time navigating Bridgeland. To be honest, I have not been into the older section of Bridgeland, just the new sections back in the "Water Haven" area. Seems very logical to me. I like how they did not use the standard cookie cutter design of a neigbhorhood. Just big squares and the occasional cul-de-sac. I loved how they do not have houses backed up to major roads going through the neighorhood. Most developers would have used the area to put a house or two on it, and then plaster a big brick fence up against the main roads, yuck.. I think the way they did Bridgeland, (not having houses backed up to major roads), makes it feel more open. Also, love the buried power lines through out the entire MCS. Makes a huge difference in my opinion.

This MPC seems nice and large. At over 11,000 acres, it's bigger than many small towns.
