I did that. However, i'm not concerned with what is immediately around me, but my neighborhood as a whole. The area they are referring to about 3-5 miles from my home, but it still affects me and my neighborhood. By the way, my subdivision does get involved. There were several people in my neighborhood who were responsible for literally forcing Kickerillo to sell a portion of their Vintage Park land to Harris country for parks and recreation. It's a shame that we need to spend so much valuable time chasing down irresponsible developers.

I just HATE hearing that stuff. For every new stripmall they build in that area, another one becomes vacant, falls apart and destroys the surrounding neighborhoods. I would think with all the retail availability the lease rates have become so low in the area that it doesn't support the build out. Are there absolutely no controls to stop this over development? Are there really zero building codes in this area? What about Pricinct 4? How about the Northwest Chamber of Commerce?

The prices of these townhomes seem more appropriate for the area. The townhomes (aka "brownstones") that are proposed for Ravenneaux range from $400K-$700K.

I'd seriously look there for my next home but I just don't understand how people are going to be able to get around in that area. The shopping centers, roads and schools are literally on top of each other. I went to the Home Depot on 290 one Saturday and people were driving all over the place in random patterns. I'm sure once you get in subdivision it's beautiful. For people that need to commute downtown or to the Galleria, would it be better to take Fry to I-10 as an alternative to 290? When is the Grand Parkway going to be completed?

So, do these townhomes compete or compliment the townhomes that will be on Cypresswood as part of the Ravenneaux re-development? That's a lot of townhomes for the area. I'm begining to question the succcess of The Vintage. I surely hope it does well as I live in the area, but that area is just turning into an unplanned mish-mash of stuff now. Those apartments look terrible and they are building cheaper ones along the railroad tracks. Will the Cypress population frequent The Vintage or is it too far away? Also, I heard Willowbrook mall has a contract with Maggiano's Little Italy. Funny, I would have expected that type of establishment to move up to Vintage.
