Bridgeland

Bridgeland is a masterfully planned community of 11,400 acres in northwest Houston that will one day boast 20,000 homes for 65,000 residents. Bridgeland is being developed by The Howard Hughes Corporation which also developed The Woodlands. These developers have created a haven for nature enthusiasts — with more than 3,000 acres devoted to lakes, trails and open space. Bridgeland is proud to offer beautifully designed homes from a Who’s Who list of the most well-respected builders in Houston. Homes range in price, style and lot size, creating a community that’s architecturally interesting, aesthetically diverse and authentic. Homes range from the $220s to $1+ million.

Bridgeland’s master plan consists of four distinct villages: Lakeland Village, Creekland Village, Prairieland Village and Parkland Village. Each village will have clusters of neighborhoods anchored by a village center with amenities, retail, restaurants and more. Schools and parks will also be located within each village. Central to all villages will be the Bridgeland Town Center.

With abundant amenities and more to come, the question in Bridgeland is often, “What are we going to do first”? A hub for the community is the Lakeland Activity Center, with a resort-style pool, spray pad, tennis courts, playground, fitness center and 6,000-square-foot community center. An on-site activities director maintains a packed calendar of adult classes, kids’ camps and special events such as the monthly farmers market.

Residents also enjoy concerts and movies a Festival Park stage pavilion, a disc-golf course, catch-and-release fishing, the Cypress Creek Nature Trail, dozens of parks, Water Haven Spray Pad and complimentary use of canoes, kayaks and other recreation equipment. An upcoming, 20-acre community park will feature an enclosed dog park, a basketball court, canoe launch and a skate park. Additional tennis courts, picnic areas, walking trails and pavilions also are planned for the park, as well as a new splash pad, playground and heated lap pool, which will be open year-round.

Bridgeland students attend schools in the acclaimed Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District. Pope Elementary, the community’s first on-site school, includes distinctive features such as a glass-front library that overlooks Bridgeland’s Cypress Lake, a second-floor reading loft, a multi-purpose observation deck and a number of flexible learning spaces. As development continues, eight other schools are planned to open within Bridgeland. Future phases of Bridgeland will be served by Katy Independent School District and possibly the Waller Independent School district, although not guaranteed.
