h2obuff Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I had been hearing about this coming to Bridgeland and I saw this on the Bridgeland Website:http://www.bridgeland.com/lakelandheights.aspxI have visited may of these TND communities throughout the country and was amazed at some of what I saw (positively for the most part). I am excited about the possibility of a true TND community in the Houston Area. What do all of you think?I saw a quick glimpse of the initial land plan the other day. I am going to try and locate it electronically and post it if I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfootball Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 (edited) That should be really neat. They're currently building a similar concept community in Lubbock called "Vintage Township" http://vintagetownship.com/ Virtual Tour: http://vintagetownship.com/media/virtual-full.page The developers even setup a 'Builder's Guild' of custom-home builders who were to build homes in the community. Here's a video builder tour of a similar model community in Orlando: http://vintagetownship.com/media/buildertrip.page Edited September 5, 2007 by mrfootball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom22Blessings Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Those look like the 19th century houses that are in the Northeast (obviously updated!)That is a real neat concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a video builder tour of a similar model community in Orlando: http://vintagetownship.com/media/buildertrip.page Two of the places I went early this year were in Orlando - Baldwin Park (which is on the video) and Celebration, which is actually a Disney residential development (i.e. lots of money to do it right)! The best TND I have visted yet is Westhaven in Franklin, TN (just south of Nashville). http://www.westhaventn.com/ It was absolutley beautiful, had architecture that would most fit in this environment (lots of brick) and was one of the most beautifuly landscaped developments I have ever seen.

N Judah Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 What part of the Bridgelands site are you looking at? They all look like typical suburban homes to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfootball Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 (edited) New village. Lakeland Heights. I don't believe they've begun construction there yet. First homes ready in late 2008 (according to the website). It'll go in further down Fry about a mile past the current main entrance. Looking at the map, it's the section just past that bend in Fry Rd. (the one with the lakes in it). Also, I believe that section of land directly between Lakeland Heights and the section containing the visitors center is slated to become a village-style shopping center.http://bl.vismark.us/DTS/lots/eplats/index_base.asp Edited September 5, 2007 by mrfootball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
