When you’re looking for a safe, family-friendly place to live, you can hardly do better than a master-planned community. Houston has several highly ranked master-planned communities, each offering an outstanding quality of life.

Newland is the developer behind multiple master-planned communities in the Houston metro area, including Cinco Ranch in Katy, which is the number one community for new home sales in the country. The developer has recently focused their efforts on creating Summerwood, their next stellar master-planned community in the Houston area. 

Prime Location

Located just east of Beltway 8, Summerwood is in the greater Atascocita area northeast of Downtown Houston. The location is ideal for those who commute into Houston or regularly fly in and out of George Bush Intercontinental Airport.

School districts are a big factor that drive many decisions about where to purchase a home. Summerwood is served by the Humble Independent School District. Students will attend Summerwood Elementary School, Woodcreek Middle School, or Summercreek High School.

Amenities at Summerwood

If you’re looking for recreation, Lake Houston is just a couple miles away and Summerwood residents can take advantage of boating and kayaking on the lake. There’s no shortage of ways to spend your leisure time here. Spend an afternoon playing volleyball or having a picnic at Deussen Park. The community offers hiking trails, lakes, pools, and fountains.

Club Summerwood is a three-and-a-half-acre amenity center for the community that includes a coffee shop, a lawn and stage for outdoor concerts, and a splash pad and playground. Residents Club East includes both a beach-entry pool and one with spray features and water slides. A fitness center is in the community to help you stay fit no matter the weather.

You won’t have to go far to enjoy shopping and dining. Shops in the area include Starbucks, CVS, Kroger, and HEB grocery store. The Westlake Marketplace, formerly known as the Shops at West Lake Houston, also includes Old Navy, Famous Footwear, Carter’s Kids, Michaels, Chick-Fil-A, and a UPS store. Everything you need is right here.

Summerwood Homes 

Summerwood has housing options to fit any household size. The sense of community is maintained by several programs, including a private online portal for residents called Summerwood Life. Residents can even enroll in a “vacation watch” program to keep an eye on on homes while their owners away.

Most housing at Summerwood are in the traditional or ranch styles. The community also includes condos and townhomes for smaller households or those looking to downsize. What they all have in common is that they’re in a beautiful environment. Homes generally have two to seven bedrooms, two to six bathrooms, and range from 1,252 to 5,696 square feet. 

Potential residents can choose from several home builders and a variety of home designs to find their dream home in Summerwood. Builders include Pulte Homes, Gehan Homes, Lennar, Brighton Homes, Perry Homes, and Coventry Homes.

Once you select a home with the size and layout you want, you can customize even further. Many homes include brick and stone fronts, gourmet kitchens with stainless steel appliances, and deluxe master bedrooms. Other optional features include granite countertops, media rooms, custom cabinets, and Nest thermostats. If you can dream it, you can find it at Summerwood.

The Houston Metro Area

There’s a reason that tens of thousands of people move to the Houston metro area each year. It’s a sprawling, dynamic city that has something for everyone. You’ll fall in love with what the city offers—especially if you’re a foodie. If you enjoy gastronomic adventures, you’ll never get bored in Houston. With more than 11,000 restaurants, you could eat at a different restaurant every night and it would take years to get through them all. It’s no wonder the city’s residents eat out here more than any other city.

As the fourth-largest city in the United States, you’ll find more than just restaurants. Houston also has a Museum District with galleries, museums, and art institutions. Downtown’s Theater District is second only to New York in terms of the number of theaters and performances. The city has more than 500 cultural, visual, and performing arts organizations, 90 of which are dedicated to multicultural and minority representation.

Lively, thriving, and surprisingly international, Houston is a cosmopolitan city with adventures for you to discover for years. Claim your home base at Summerwood and the excitement of Houston is at your fingertips.
