Friendswood Development marks 50th year of building in Houston

For 50 Years Friendswood Development has offered amenities like the pool at West Ranch.

Fifty years ago, Friendswood Development Company introduced the Houston housing market to the concept of the master-planned community — now a common and sought-after idea among Houston homebuyers. Decades later, the Friendswood Development Company name remains synonymous with outstanding master-planned communities that have become home to generations of families.

The first master-planned community, Clear Lake City, opened in 1962. It was followed by other master-planned communities that define both the Houston housing market and the expectations of home buyers. Since the beginning, Friendswood Development Company communities have been known for beautiful new homes by top builders surrounded by amenities including greenbelt trails, lakes, park areas and recreation centers.

Today, the Friendswood Development Company master-planned communities span from the north to the south ends of the Houston market, offering an impressive team of builders, world-class amenities and homes appealing to buyers.

Although each community has its own unique look, every Friendswood Development Company master-planned community shares common plan ideas including a wide variety of new-home styles and prices, amenities designed to appeal to all ages, pristine common areas and locations offering acclaimed schools, access to major roadways and convenience to prime employment, medical and retail centers.

New model homes and sections are now open in Friendswood Development Company communities throughout the Houston area. New homes are priced from the $100,000s to more than $1 million in Friendswood Development Company communities including West Ranch in Friendswood, served by the exemplary-rated Friendswood Independent School District; Fairfield in Cypress; Lakemont in West Houston, just off Mason Road; Oakhurst at Kingwood; Graystone Hills in Conroe; Lakes of Savannah in the Pearland area; and Wildwood at NorthPointe, located just of state Highway 249 in Tomball.
