Riverstone Debuts New Models for September Tour

September 07, 2012

Fort Bend residents can discover why Riverstone is one of the nation’s top-selling master-planned communities during its Model Home Celebration, Sept. 15-30.

More than 20 model homes will be showcased during the event, including five of the community’s newest.

“It’s been a busy year for Riverstone, with new neighborhoods, new builders and new models,” said Tom Wilcox, general manager of Riverstone. “Buyers have responded to the great variety of homes available here, as well as impressively low interest rates. It’s such a great time to buy that we’re enjoying record-breaking sales for a consecutive year.”

Riverstone’s showcase will feature five new model homes by builders Taylor Morrison, with three new models; Meritage Homes; and a patio home model by The Manors by Westport. Fedrick, Harris Estate Homes, Trendmaker and Darling Homes will open four models later in the year. A full list of Riverstone’s model homes and a tour map are available on this site at http://www.riverstone.com/model-homes.html. Custom estate homes also will be open during the event.

Also opening later in the year is an extension of University Boulevard through the community, which will connect to another new segment, opening University Boulevard from Highway 6 to U.S. 59.

Starting construction next year in Riverstone is a new 17-acre water park that will feature a resort pool, multiple tennis courts, a pavilion, a playground and an 8,000-square-foot clubhouse. The facility is expected to open in 2014.

Riverstone is currently among the three top-selling communities in the Houston area and is No. 15 among top-selling communities in the nation, according to John Burns Real Estate Consulting.

New-home prices in Riverstone vary from the $200,000s to the millions.
