About Cypress' Towne Lake

As the kids grow up and begin to leave home, many couples begin to contemplate down-sizing into a smaller home. The benefits are many. A smaller home means less to maintain, and a smaller NEW home means A LOT less to maintain!

Towne Lake has established a special section within its master planned community dedicated to homeowner's "aged 55 or better"!! The Heritage at Towne Lake offers mostly one-story floorplans by Village Builders.

Village offers 2 bedroom floorplans beginning at $185,990.

This past weekend I was in Towne Lake and decided to take a look at the Plantation model home.

The Nederland II is a wonderfully open floorplan. This energy-efficient one-story offers 2755 sq. ft. of living space with features you'd normally only find in a two-story home -- like a media room!

What an inviting living room! Plantation Homes gives you an option to make this room to the right of the foyer an enclosed study.

Formal dining room boasts dramatic columns, crown moulding, chair rail.

High ceilings throughout the main living areas give an open, airy feel to the rooms!

This island kitchen definitely has the "WOW" factor!

Luxurious master bedroom with window seat

The perfect "getaway" at the end of every day!

If you are thinking about moving to TOWNE LAKE, but need to sell first--give me a call! I would love to assist you in your goal to move to a BRAND NEW home!

Caldwell Companies announced new ground-breaking real estate opportunities in the award-winning Towne Lake community's residential and commercial sections.

Available for sale in the master-planned Towne Lake community in northwest Houston are seven prime land sites ranging in size from one to 25 acres.

Caldwell Companies' Keith P. Grothaus, CCIM, SIOR, said the timing was right to put these commercial oriented properties on the market. He said Towne Lake has the infrastructure and utilities in place to support new commercial development. "We believe Towne Lake has grown to a size where we think it is a good time to expand the offerings we have for our residents and the surrounding community," Grothaus said.

He said there are five (pad) sites in the one- to two-acre range that are ideal for retail, restaurant, hotel, and/or professional businesses. All five pad sites front Barker-Cypress Road and are located south of Tuckerton Road - the community's "Main Street."

A 12-acre site for sale on the corner of Barker Cypress and Tuckerton Road would be a prime spot for a community church, Grothaus said, and a 25-acre site at the corner of West and Greenhouse roads would be ideal for many uses. The developers are willing to subdivide the 25 acre tract for a use that "fits" the overall community character. We are looking for uses that will fill the needs of our community.

Starting in May, 40 residential lots - 20 on Towne Lake's centerpiece lake - will be available for custom homes in a new section of the Heritage Towne Lake's active adult community, said Peter Barnhart, Caldwell Companies' Vice President of Development. Homes in the gated enclave will start in the high 300,000's and will have access to a private marina.

In the larger Towne Lake community a new gated section of 35 custom lots - 15 water front properties included - will be available in October. This new section will also feature a private marina and will be located adjacent to the Heritage's gated community off Hamilton Hills Drive.

Also in the fall, a third section of new homes will break ground near Cy-Fair ISD's Rennell Elementary School, which is under construction on Tuckerton Road. Homes will start in the low $200,000s and will be constructed on 60-foot lots. Builders will be selected from a list of Houston's best and will be announced soon, Barnhart said.

"In an effort to help Towne Lake grow quickly, we continue to add new and exciting products to our housing mix," Barnhart said. The company is scheduled to open the new main entrance of Tuckerton Road in the later part of 2010. This new entry at Barker Cypress will be a major milestone for Towne Lake by providing much quicker access to Hwy 290 and area amenities. Rennell Elementary School will open in August.
