Friendswood Development turns 50

Amenities at Fairfield have been defining Friendswood Development Company communities for 50 years.

Fifty years ago, Friendswood Development Company introduced the Houston housing market to the concept of the master-planned community — a term that has become a household name 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 opening of Clear Lake City in 1962 was followed by the introduction of numerous master-planned communities that have defined the Houston housing market and the expectations of new-home buyers. Since the beginning, Friendswood Development Company communities have been known for beautiful new homes by top builders surrounded by amenities that include 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 that appeal to generations of buyers.

Although each community offers a look all its own, every Friendswood Development Company master-planned community shares in its outstanding master plan, complete with a wide variety of new-home styles and prices, amenities designed to appeal to all ages, pristine common areas and locations that offer acclaimed schools, access to major roadways, and convenience to prime employment, medical and retail centers.

New model homes, sections and amenities are now open in Friendswood Development Company master-planned communities throughout the Houston area. New homes are priced from the $100,000s to more than $1 million in Friendswood Development Company communities, which include West Ranch in the city of Friendswood and the Texas Education Agency 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.
