Bridgeland, located just off Fry Road a couple of miles south of Highway 290, a development of General Growth Properties, is just in its infancy right now.  So far the 11 builders chosen for the community (Highland Homes, Wilshire Homes, David Weekley, David Weekley Imagination, Meritage, Trendmaker, Village Builders, David Powers Homes, Hallmark Design Homes, Darling Homes, Perry Homes, Partners in Building) have so far built around 200 of the planned 21, 000 homes.  Three custom home builders have been added to the list of builders including:  Ronny Carroll Custom Homes, Tommy Bailey Custom Homes, and Masterpiece Homes.

This community features a welcome center where you can visit and learn more about the amenities of the community such as walking trails around the communities lakes, activity center with pool and splash pad, sports fields, tennis courts, disk golf course, lakes stocked with fish for catch and release fishing, bird watching, non-motorized boating, swim classes, swim teams, tennis camps, full kitchen with meeting rooms, and fitness center. 

Initially there will be a minimum of 4 villages which will each have their own character and housing options.  Presently, single family homes are being built, but in the near future, there will be patio home and town home options available.

Additionally, each village will have a community center where residents will have easy access to convenience services and community parks.  Many of the amenities are modeled after the very successful The Woodlands development that General Growth Properties participated in.

Ultimately the development will cover an area roughly the size of the inside area of the 610 Loop and will stradle the new Grand Parkway.  Also planned is a Town Center including a shopping mall similar to what is in The Woodlands that will be located on the Grand Parkway a few miles South of Highway 290.  Also in the Town Center will be office, retail and dining and entertainment options.

Bridgeland was developed to provide as many homeowners as possible with lake or wilderness views and to limit the number of homes that back up to busy thoroughfares.  Furthermore, the power lines have been buried to preserve the views and sightlines.

Bridglands offers a lifestyle up to now unavailable in Northwest Houston.
