I agree that First Colony and New Territory has aged nicely. When driving through Winston Ranch Pkwy in LMF, it just seemed like some areas were not maintained well but that was just my observation.

What do you guys think about the new Trace at Long Meadow Farms (behind Santiko Palladium theater)? It seems to a nice area with nice homes around $250k - $400k+up. Do you think it will it hold up/maintain value in the future? Will it make a difference since it is on the other side of grand pkwy 99 than the original long meadow farms?

I know apartments are usually unwelcome. But the commercial infusion is usually a good thing (for convenience).




Agreed.

Mainly the stuff after Clodine road. There's a a bunch of junkyard/scrap/auto shops and secluded small homes along Wesr Bellfort. It used to be a dead end years ago, so that's why they are there. I'm thinking years from now, hopefully it turns to more established convenient corner stores like CVS or Walgreens. It's opened up and the traffic counters pop up every once in a while. Lots of graffiti occurred along those businesses.

Apartments are the only thing with LMF really. But that's only because of the negative auora around apartments in general. Could be ok. Look at first colony mall area. I will say that I don't like the material being used for the exterior of the apartments. Looks cheap.

Commercial infusion is good in my book. It'll be a selling point to increase property value. However, it has to be retailers with "reputable" perception. I think the people are great. Palladiun is holding up well.

there's no city inspections in those areas off 99, 1464 so be mindful as if you are building a house only inspectors around are county and builder's inspector...

you build in a city, the city inspector comes out to look for different things

There was a sad story about how Mission Bend built everything to Houston standards but was left standing at the alter...now they're left with crumbling infrastructure...that could be alot of areas off 99 in the future once Sugar Land takes what they want

Sugar Land doesn't have a claim to anything along 99 once you get north of 90A. That belongs mostly to Houston's ETJ, and some portions to Richmond's ETJ. There are even a few areas claimed by neither city's ETJ (so far).

Houston ETJ, which reaches as far west as FM 359...
