Here is the unofficial community website for Benders Landing: Benders Landing

Benders landing is an acreage community off the Hardy toll road. If you are looking for Woodlands type atmosphere, but don't want to commute so far, check out Benders Landing. Land for sale on Har.com: Land only Notice that 8 of the cheapest 20 lots are pending sales!

It's really not that bad if you take the toll road. It generally takes me 25 minutes to downtown depending on traffic conditions. There is rarely heavy traffic on Hardy unless there is construction. However, tolls can become a new car payment if you are not careful. None yet, I guess... it's only about 5 years old. However, we've been getting much attention. All lots are 1+ acre- bring-your-own builder. There is plenty of room for unique houses. When completed, the entire community will be over 3,000 acres. It sits between the future Grand parkway and the future Spring Creek Greenway Project (with its own entrance). This is piney woods Texas, so all lots are heavily wooded with pines, oaks, hollies, etc. Currently, there are 3 lakes, the largest being 52 acres. They are building a 70+ acre lake now. I really do love it out here. I've been here for a few months now and still feel like I'm on vacation! The trees are medicinal. I'm glad you made the trip to see the neighborhood. I would like to hear of your experience if you have the time. Here are the HAR listings: Benders Landing

Here... It all

I agree that corner lots are considered more desirable in most neighborhoods. As mentioned, they provide the builder with better options. However, I live in an acreage community and this does not seem to be the case. All lots are big enough for proper house placement. Privacy prevails. Culdesacs also seem to be more desirable as some cars drive faster.

Check out Benders Landing Estates in Spring. Our ARC meets twice per month. I believe it took them less than a week to approve our plans. BTW, they are opening a new section tomorrow. http://www.benderslanding.com Oh, I should mention... If you are seriously interested, shoot me an email and I'll split the referral they give to existing land owners with you .

Hey editor, what's with the unprovoked attack? Doesn't seem like good form for a moderator.

Perhaps it is Fulbrook? fulbrook.net har listings Here is Benders Landing BTW: http://www.benderslanding.com har listings

Hi bachanon, Yes. My wife and I purchased a lot last year (the first day we found the place) and are building our house now. It's beautiful. We have well over an acre, tucked back in a culdesac with many, many trees. We're very excited! Proximity to The Woodlands Town Center is big part of what made BL so appealing to us. We plan to make The Woodlands Town Center our new retail zone and Benders Landing our home. If we get stuck or lonely, the Hardy Toll Road can jet us downtown in 25 min. Galleria takes about 35 min. So, your town center effect theory holds, especially in our case.

I have been lurking in this forum for the last few months. Thank you all for the good information! I grew up in Memorial and spent most of my 20's in Bellaire. I love the central and SW side. My zone of travel usually involves the Galleria, West U, Mid-town, and maybe an occasional trek out to Sugarland. For my needs, I have found S. Rice to be a tactically useful street. From S. Rice and Bissonnet I can be anywhere very quickly. Anyway- Now in my 30s, I find myself married and looking to start a family. Although I believe Bellaire to be kid-friendly, I would like to try out the suburbs. Specifically, I have 500k to spend and want to have... - at least a half acre of land (where I can choose my own builder) - access to basic amenities (grocery store, gym, etc.) - access to good public/private schools - commute to Houston no more than 40 min I also want to feel like my home is going to appreciate in value. I've been pretty fortunate with my home in Bellaire and would like to continue that trend. After a couple months of research, I came up with a community called Benders Landing. I won't rave about it here, but I would be interested in hearing other recommended communities. Thank you.
