Riverstone, my future community

Hello guys!

Since I have a few free moments, I guess it's an acceptable time to give a little information about the master planned community I will be moving to.

Riverstone is a master planned community in Fort Bend County, TX, which is a neighboring county of Harris County in which Houston, TX is located. So, it's located outside of Houston, TX.

The current master plan for Riverstone includes 5,000 homes or 15,000 residents. I emphasize current because master planned communities tend to change their master plans when it is convenient for them. Initial plans did not include a site for multi-family housing a.k.a. apartment homes, but the master plan sure includes that now. And boy are some of the earlier residents angry! The Riverstone website boasts that resort-quality amenities, excellent schools and a multitude of retail options are part of the community.  There are all sorts of fabulous retail options by the main entrance already (Target, Home Depot, Starbucks, Walgreens, Kroger, etc.). The community currently has 2 pools, an expansive 3.5-acre dog park and plans for The Club at Riverstone which will be the site of tennis courts, a swimming pool, water park, playground, pier, pedestrian trails and more! Who wouldn't want to live here right?!

For those of you who do not know much about master planned communities, they can be pretty large. The idea is that there is one large community with smaller 'neighborhoods' within it.  Here is the master plan as of today's date.  Thinking about moving here gets me so excited!
