Cypress Texas is changing fast, and Bridgeland may be right in the middle of the biggest transformation happening on the northwest side of Houston.
In this video, we’re back in Bridgeland touring brand new construction homes in the new Prairieland model home park, including homes from Ravenna Homes, Highland Homes, and David Weekley. This part of Bridgeland is right off Highway 99 and close to where the Houston Texans are relocating their practice facility, along with the upcoming Toro District.
That means more shopping, dining, hotels, office space, walkable areas, and a completely new level of development coming to Cypress Texas.
We also break down what makes Bridgeland different from other master planned communities in Houston, including the schools, amenities, parks, pools, trails, builders, pricing, and what buyers should know before choosing a home here.
If you’re looking at new homes in Cypress Texas, Bridgeland Texas, or the northwest Houston area, this video gives you a real look at what’s coming and why so many people are paying attention to this community.

This video provides a comprehensive tour of the Bridgeland master-planned community in Cypress, Texas. It explores the neighborhood's massive scale, upcoming commercial developments like the Toro District, and detailed walkthroughs of luxury model homes from builders such as Ravenna, Highland, and David Weekley, focusing on design, construction quality, and pricing.
This neighborhood is so good that the Houston Texans
are relocating their practice facilities here.
We're here in Cypress, Texas,
one of Houston's most thriving suburbs,
but we're in Bridgeland.
And we've done a lot of videos on Bridgeland,
but they got a brand new model home park
and they have 20 model homes,
which we can't show you all of them today,
but we're gonna be breaking Bridgeland up
over the next couple of weeks.
But we're getting you inside brand new construction homes
in a brand new model home park
that's walking distance
to this Texans new practice facility.
Now, why is that cool?
Well, maybe you're not a football fan.
Maybe that doesn't matter to you.
They are building the Toro District.
And the Toro District,
if you know anything about the Woodlands, Texas,
it's basically like Market Street on steroids.
They're going to have brand new hotels,
outdoor shopping centers,
tons of high-end fine dining restaurants.
They're gonna have a bunch of office space up there as well.
We're talking millions, not thousands,
millions of square feet of retail and commercial
all along Highway 99.
Yes, we are right off Highway 99 in Bridgeland
with a convenient location here.
And you've got brand new homes starting out here
in the low 300,000s going all the way up
to some of their larger home sites,
their custom home sites.
In fact, we've sold some of those homes
that are two, three, even $4 million.
But Bridgeland is the largest development
that's currently active anywhere in the Houston area.
It's 11,500 acres broken up into four different villages.
We're in Prairielands today.
And this Prairieland model home park has it all.
Like I said, they got 20 different homes,
but the three we're showing you today
are right in the middle.
They're in that sweet spot.
They're 60-foot products, starting with Ravenna Homes.
They're one of the only fully custom home builders
that's actually out here in this master plan community.
So if you want to make a lot of changes to your house,
you want something that feels very custom,
you're gonna wanna check them out.
But we've got two other builders.
I'm not gonna tell you who they are.
You're gonna have to stick around.
They offer something a little bit different
at some more affordable prices.
So let's get you inside our first house.
And along the way,
I'm gonna tell you more about that Toro District
because I'm telling you right now,
it is the largest commercial construction project
that will be taking place in Houston
over the next 10 years.
And they're just now starting to break ground on it.
So let's get you inside and show you homes
that you can get that are walking distance to it.
So welcome inside of Ravenna.
Yes, Ravenna's 60-foot model home.
It's not Ravonna, it's not Ravenna or Ravina, it's Ravenna.
Everyone messes it up, but we got it right.
So they are, as I mentioned,
one of the more fully custom options
here in MasterPlan communities.
A lot of MasterPlan communities,
what you see is what you get.
It's pretty cookie cutter, which is great.
You can come in and buy something off the shelf.
But if you're looking for something a little more custom,
a little higher quality,
then this is definitely one of the things
that sets Ravenna apart.
And that's important because instead of coming
and looking through 20 different model home parks,
we can help get you that information quickly.
So love, love, love this floor plan.
I have sold this floor plan to some really close friends
and it works well because it's situated as a one story.
But as we'll show you here in just a little bit,
you have an option to add on taking this thing
from 3,000 square feet up to about 3,546 square feet
to be exact.
So one of the things people love
about this specific floor plan is how open the kitchen is.
This is like glory days, kind of old school kitchen
where everyone can come in and hang out.
You got the kids, whether they're younger or older,
you're hosting a football watching party, Bible studies,
whatever you wanna do,
you can fit like 10 people up at this bar top over here.
And if you want a more formal setting,
they do offer the formal dining option over here.
So it's connected to the main living room,
but it's very much got its own space.
So if you're not gonna be using it,
but for the holidays it's there, but more likely than not,
you're just gonna be crashing up around this huge kitchen.
I don't even know what you call it, island, huge island.
It looks like Florida.
So it's massive.
So love the finishes in here.
You got KitchenAid, six burner gas cooktop
with a really kind of ornate vent hood over here.
You got the glass uppers with the down lighting
and very classy look.
Now I love they've got real wood floors.
A lot of the model homes don't do that,
but I would expect this out of Ravenna once again,
going for kind of that higher end quality finishes.
So coming through here, you got two tones.
So you've got kind of an off white on the cabinets
and then you've got this more natural wood over here,
which I like a ton.
And then I have these appliances in my house.
They're really nice.
They're the KitchenAid, love the blue internals.
Check that out.
Now coming back here,
this normally would connect through over to the garage.
They're using it as their sales office,
but this is where you're gonna come in and out of the house
mostly probably not gonna be using the front door
all that much, but you've got your laundry
tucked in over here.
So decent size laundry room.
They got all their floor plans hiding out over here.
Now I told you they're custom.
They definitely have floor plans that you can choose from
to start out with,
but they're just more likely to be flexible with you
if you wanna make some changes to some stuff.
So definitely get you in there,
check out this pantry size, pretty good.
I think that's important,
especially if you're gonna have a nice good size,
mid-size family home.
So flipping over into here, one thing you don't have,
I just wanna point it out.
You don't have like a sight line to the TV necessarily
from the kitchen over here,
but if you were over at the cooktop
or you were over at the sink,
you are gonna be able to kind of participate
in whatever's going on,
but you are connected with the rest of the family
if they're over in the living room.
That's really important.
It's important to my wife
when she's hanging out in the kitchen
to be right here with us, with the kiddos.
She's making us snacks, whatever.
She doesn't wanna feel like
she's in a completely different space.
Now you're like, what the heck?
We got two dining rooms here.
Well, this is kind of a more like informal dining kitchenette
but it is funny because they're,
let me flip around Keith, show them.
They're just one dining room, two dining rooms.
So it's pretty nice.
We'll hit this bedroom here in a second.
I do kind of wanna show you the living room first
while we're all in this one main living room.
So it's quite nice.
One thing you'll notice if you flip around,
I thought those were built in at first.
These aren't, these are just pieces of furniture.
They look like they're kind of built in, don't they?
So they match the house really well,
but you've got a gas fireplace.
They wrapped it nice, bringing in some cool colors.
Got really tall ceilings in here.
Those glass sliders,
which open up the total back of the house,
those are 10 feet,
which means these ceilings are about 14 feet
up near these wood beams.
So tons of space, plenty of room for the family to hang out.
We'll get you outside here in a second.
Now let's loop back around and show you this bedroom.
Now what's great is this is a one story floor plan
with an additional upstairs bonus.
So all the bedrooms are gonna be here on the first floor.
So this one, you've got a full bath over here.
There is a half bath up at the front of the house,
but this is also kind of equally convenient access,
but it would be the bathroom
that's used by this back bedroom.
So pretty good size room, really.
Probably like a 12 by 12, 12 by 13.
Gets a lot of natural light.
And I'm excited to show you guys this patio
because it's huge.
All right, now coming over here,
once again, huge sliders.
Past couple of weeks, I have struggled.
Thank God this one was already unlocked,
but it's getting hotter out.
Okay, we're at the end of May as we're filming this.
It's getting up in the high 80s, low 90s.
So I'm not gonna leave this open too long,
but that is pretty epic, guys.
I mean, look at this view.
Keith, can you get it from all the way back over there?
Check this out.
Complete indoor, outdoor living.
And then look at how big this patio is.
I love how it kind of kicks down over here.
It's nice because if,
depending on the orientation of your lot,
if that sun is hitting from that side,
you're gonna get even more shade cover,
but this patio is huge.
It's like 13, 14 foot ceilings out here,
but it's so deep that even if the sun was over there,
it's still gonna catch a bunch of shade.
So you got formal sitting area, kind of dining.
You could definitely do an outdoor kitchen with this build.
And a lot of their different floor plans
are gonna have these larger patios on them.
Now, this slider isn't standard.
It is an upgrade, but once you see it,
you can't unsee it.
It's well worth it, in my opinion.
Probably one of the coolest things you can do
to this living room is completely open it up.
There we go.
And then we are right here at the master bedroom.
Really good size, like tons of room, huge ceilings.
They're bringing the beams in here too.
And you don't really even need bay windows
because this room is so large.
So huge floor to ceiling windows, even have the uppers.
So you're getting a lot of light.
You are gonna need a lot of window treatments in here,
but it's really not a big deal.
So it's also the second time in four years
Keith has sneezed while we're filming.
Pretty proud that we haven't done that more often.
So I don't know if the audio picked that up,
but yes, we're real humans, guys.
We appreciate you watching.
Give some love to Keith in the comments too.
By the way, he never gets the love.
He wants the love.
He's done a great job for us.
And we've helped a lot of people out just like you
through our videos.
In fact, we just went in another model home park
that we're gonna go check out here in a little bit.
And when we walked in, the sales guy came up to me
and he goes, hey, I moved here because of your videos.
And I was like, how long have you been here?
He's like a year and a half.
So even the salespeople selling these homes,
they know who we are.
So if you don't know who I am, my name's Kyler Ferris.
We make these videos just for you.
We run the number one relocation team
in all of Houston, Texas.
And so we help hundreds of people a year just like you
that are thinking about moving to Houston.
So if that's you, just don't be shy.
Reach out to us.
We're casual.
Give us a call, shoot us a text, send us a quick email.
We'll get back to you immediately.
We'll hop on a Zoom call,
figure it out what it is you're looking for in Houston,
and we'll help you guys make that smooth move
here to Houston, Texas.
So who wants a chandelier in their bathroom?
If it's you, check this one out.
It's pretty sick.
So definitely a statement piece.
You don't get this in a lot of spec homes over here
in these model home parks.
So that's a pretty cool feature.
You got like a full, like a rotunda.
Love the tile going all the way up.
I'm a big green fan, so definitely like that.
And then two closets.
We're big fans of closets.
Check out how tall this closet is too.
Got the three rows going on over here.
So let me check the other one out
and then I'll officially rate this closet.
So huge shower.
You still have the freestanding tub.
They got my shower bench.
It's temporary.
It's all spare you right now, but they got the loofah,
huge window, gets you a lot of light in here.
And then I love this.
It's just wasted space under the stairs.
So they went ahead and opened it up.
I love when builders just maximize that square footage.
You might as well, might as well get it.
You're paying for it.
So you can put luggage and stuff under here.
This is definitely the guy's closet, but big enough for me.
You can fit all your stuff in here,
especially with that upper shelf.
So I'm going combined closet.
We're going eight.
We're gonna be generous today
because I think they've been generous.
3,500 square foot home.
Got a little luggage compartment.
Get your own space.
Wife can stay out of here.
That's an eight.
So you gotta come back through the living room
and we're gonna go upstairs and show you
what it has to offer.
But before we do that, I wanna sit down.
I wanna tell you a little bit more about Bridgeland
if you don't know about it,
as well as Cypress and everything
that's really taking place here.
Because the good news about Bridgeland is
it's already about halfway through its development.
Two of the villages are already
pretty much completely built out.
And now we're on the other side of 99
and we've got at least 10 years left of development
between Prairieland, where we are right now,
and Creekland, their newest village.
They were gonna hold off on developing that one,
but they said, you know what?
Let's just go ahead and develop both at the same time
to get enough residents in
so that they can start building
their main kind of shopping district.
Now, the Toro District is just a small fraction
of the overall town center that they are building here.
Now, similar to the Woodlands,
the Woodlands is a township right now.
Bridgeland is its own entity, but it isn't a township yet,
but one day it'll probably become one.
It's in five different mud districts,
but it's not annexed by Cypress yet,
even though it's technically located in the Cypress area.
So as far as Cypress is concerned,
you're right here on the northwest side of town,
right along Highway 99.
I gotta move this bowl.
So right along Highway 99.
Now, Highway 99 is about four or five, six years old.
It's the toll road that runs around Houston,
and it couldn't be more convenient
that Bridgeland is literally split by that,
and it's on both sides of Highway 99
that they're gonna be building all of this commercial
and retail shopping.
So you're gonna have a huge outdoor space
right next to the Texans facility.
They're gonna have like 21 volleyball courts.
They're gonna have tons of different shopping options
for you, lots of different high-end restaurants.
As it stands right now, outside of, you know,
kind of inner city Houston,
you really only have Market Street up in the Woodlands
that has a bunch of restaurants.
You've got the town center down in Sugarland
that has a bunch of restaurants,
and then you've got like La Centera over in Katy.
So this is really gonna be Cypress' like crown jewel.
It's probably gonna be one of the coolest shopping
and dining areas in the entire city,
and that's why it's cool
that the Texans practice facility
is gonna be right there as well.
So inside the neighborhood,
Bridgeland is probably one of the developers
that has the best amenities.
I'm just gonna say it.
They've got so many different amenities,
and it's because it's Howard Hughes.
Howard Hughes is who finished out
the development of the Woodlands.
They've done a great job here in Bridgeland,
and what's nice about where we're at in Prairieland
is we can literally throw a baseball.
It might take me like two throws.
I could hit a golf ball to the amenity center right here.
So if you buy one of these homes we're looking at today,
you can walk over.
They've got two pools just in Prairieland alone,
but every single village has its own amenity center,
and they've recently put out that in Creekland,
the newest village,
they're gonna have the best amenity center yet,
and yes, it doesn't matter what village you live in.
As long as you live in Bridgeland,
you get access to all of the different amenity centers.
So you moms out there, we're talking like dozens of parks.
You could hit up one park a day for a month
and probably not run out of parks.
Multiple pools.
Each amenity center has their own gym.
We were just up there at this one.
It's got a small little gym, nothing crazy,
but let's be honest.
If you want something crazy, go join Lifetime Fitness,
which they have one right here in Cypress.
So you've got that.
You've got the parks.
You've got the pools.
You've got multiple playgrounds.
They've got tennis courts, basketball courts,
volleyball courts, fishing lakes out here,
hike and bike trails, and the list goes on.
In fact, some of the lots in this section you can buy
actually back up to some of these fishing ponds,
which is pretty cool.
So if you want one of those lots, reach out.
We will let you know which builders
are offering building on those lots.
So you've got great neighborhood amenities.
You've got all of the new commercial amenities that,
guys, they're expecting to be done with those by 2029.
I don't think you realize it's 2026 right now.
In the next three years,
imagine if you had bought a house
right next to Market Street right before it was built,
what that would do to the appraised values
of those properties.
So that's what's really cool.
You've got a lot of corporate campuses
buying land over here right alongside Bridgeland
because they know that it's gonna be really easy
for their employees to buy houses
in such a great neighborhood.
They're building schools left and right here, guys.
They are literally having to build schools
just because of the influx of people here in Bridgeland,
which means you're getting brand new schools
with brand new facilities, with new faculty.
And over time, that's gonna make for
some highly rated schools
right here inside of the community.
Now, one thing that Bridgeland has
that a lot of neighborhoods don't
is they have a top, top, top tier private school.
Cypress Christian Academy is at the front of Prairieland.
It's already completed.
I personally know people that send their kids there.
They love it.
It's a phenomenal private Christian school
that's located inside of Bridgeland.
So you can walk your kids to school,
they can ride their bikes,
you can take them in a golf cart,
whatever it is, however you wanna get them there,
but you're not having to drive all the way across Houston
to send them to a private school.
So if that's an option for you
and you wanna do that,
I would highly recommend looking into Cypress Christian,
see if you like it, and then reach out to us.
We can come show you some homes
and figure out if it's a good fit for you.
That's kind of the main area overview.
There's still a lot more going on in Cypress in general.
All along Highway 290, you have the Cypress Outlet Mall
and one of the biggest shopping centers in Houston.
We've shown you in a lot of our other videos,
it's like three mile long shopping center
and it's got everything.
If you don't wanna go to the outlet mall,
it's got furniture stores, restaurants, fast food,
literally any kind of shop you can think of
is over in those outlets.
And that's about a 10, 15 minute drive
from where we're at right now.
And then in each village,
you've got their own shopping centers
with their own restaurants
that those are already completely built out.
So it doesn't get much better than Bridgeland.
Think of the Woodlands, but newer and nicer.
Pretty much it.
Let's go check out upstairs.
One thing I always appreciate with staircases
is when they match the floors
and these are identical floors
with the treads to downstairs.
I just, it bugs me when they don't match.
They match perfectly.
And when you get up here, what's nice,
see how closed off this is?
This is like a quiet place for your kids,
your teenagers to come up here and hang out.
There's no bedrooms up here.
So quite literally, this is just an extra bonus flex space.
It takes it from 3,000 square feet
up to just over 3,500 square feet.
And you got two rooms up here.
You got kind of your flex game room.
I love that it has a bathroom up here
so you don't have to run downstairs,
especially if you've got little kids like me,
like potty training.
You don't wanna be up here and not have a bathroom.
That would be bad.
Check this out.
Got your walk-in attic over here.
So one thing that I like to show you guys
behind the scenes here in Texas,
we don't have basements.
So you'll notice Christmas decorations.
Look at that.
Couldn't be more convenient.
Keith, it's almost like we staged them here.
This is where you can keep your Christmas decorations,
your Halloween decorations,
whatever holiday you celebrate.
Keep them all in there.
It gets hot in the summer,
but it's not too hot to keep stuff like that.
So it's a good place for storage.
And then check this out.
Boom, media room.
Close that door up.
Got the surround sound pre-wired.
Got the sconce lighting.
Painted it darker.
Fake popcorn.
Not gonna try that.
And there you go.
Pretty slick.
Not quite big enough for a golf simulator.
Always pointing that out to you guys,
but it's pretty close.
Probably blow out this wall
and make it a golf simulator.
So that's it for upstairs.
We still have half of the downstairs to show you guys.
So as we head up to the front of the house,
I gotta tell you,
one thing that really sets Ravenna apart
from these other builders,
it's two things actually.
One is they have a two-year warranty
instead of a one-year warranty on the home.
So when you get the home,
you're gonna move in,
you're gonna find little knickknacks here and there.
You're gonna have two years to reach out to them
for them to come back if there's settlement cracks,
which is pretty common,
stuff like that.
But here's what's even cooler with Ravenna.
In their entire company history,
they have never had a structural warranty claim ever.
Let me pause.
I've never heard that from any of the other builders.
They are really serious about quality
and quality goes into the time, effort, energy
and their building processes on the front end.
So when they're building these homes,
they've got an engineer on site
when they're pouring the foundation.
They're taking those extra little steps.
Really, I mean, honestly,
it's just common sense.
You would think as a business,
don't skip steps
because it's gonna cost you money
and it's gonna cause your client's headaches later on.
And so they really take that kind of hands-on approach.
That's why a lot of clients that appreciate those things
end up kind of gravitating towards Ravenna.
So as you're looking through all these builders,
definitely that's something that's gonna set them apart.
So if you want that peace of mind,
it's really only Ravenna and Perry
that offer the two years versus the one year warranty.
So, and then it's 10 year warranty on structural.
So I'm standing in the bathroom
telling you about warranties.
So check this out,
like the paint,
nothing too fancy over here,
but I like that the designers and the builders these days
are starting to mix it up.
Everything had gotten real black and white for a while
and they're finally starting to bring some color
back into the homes.
So more bedrooms here on the first floor,
all really good size.
That's the impressive thing about this floor plan.
Usually when they try to cram it all on one story,
these bedrooms start to get tiny,
but it doesn't really feel like that.
I'm gonna share this bathroom.
So you got a full bath over here,
got the tub for the kiddos
and then, oh, look at this.
They knew I was coming.
Love it.
I love those.
That's pretty slick.
So good size room,
full or clean?
Full.
Full, full size bed.
You could fit a queen,
good natural light coming on in through here.
So I'm going to tell you not only what this exact home costs,
but I'm gonna tell you what all of the homes
that Ravenna builds cost
from their lowest square footage
to their highest square footage.
And then we're gonna head on over next door
and check out our next builder.
The people have asked,
so I'm finally going to explain it.
You'll notice, if you look at the front of this house,
there are no garage doors.
That is correct.
There one day will be garage doors.
But right now, for whatever reason,
when builders build these model homes,
they just think it looks better to do landscaping.
They don't want driveways.
They don't want people parking.
They got parking lots over there.
And so yes, when they finally sell these model homes,
which they just did right around the corner
and moved the whole model home park like a hundred yards,
they'll come in, they'll rip all this out,
they'll put it in a driveway
and they will put in garage doors.
So for you that have been asking me for years,
why do they do that?
I actually still don't think I'm giving you the answer,
but I'm just telling you that is what they do.
So they set it all up like that.
Now, this is a 60 foot product.
Now, what does that mean?
It means that the width of the lot is 60 feet,
which means the house itself is 50 feet wide.
So this gives you a good example
of how wide these homes are.
It's really gonna dictate
what kind of floor plans they can build.
They've got plenty of options over here in Prairieland
going all the way down to like, I think 45 foot products,
which are gonna be a lot skinnier.
And then they go all the way up to 80 foot products,
which we're gonna hold off on showing you today.
Everything we're showing you today
is right around that 60 foot wide mark.
It's middle of the road and it's really good size.
For example, Ravenna builds starting around 2,600 square feet
but they can go all the way up to 3,800 square feet.
Now the prices over here, you get what you pay for.
Keep in mind, Ravenna is one of the more custom options.
Their base features in their home
are higher than a lot of the other builders out here.
You're getting great schools, great amenities,
and then all that really cool, fancy stuff
that we told you that is under construction
over the next couple of years in that Toro district.
So their prices are really gonna start around $600,000
and they're gonna go up to around $850,000.
Now you could go crazy technically in the design center
and spend more money,
but this home exactly as you saw it inside
with all those features,
including those real wood floors and those sliders,
you're looking about $830,000.
In fact, a lot of their inventory homes
that are move-in ready versions of this model
are selling right now around $790,000.
So that's it for our first builder.
We still have two more to show you.
We're gonna head on over next door
and show you what Highland Homes has to offer
right here in Bridgeland.
Highland Homes is definitely one of my favorite builders.
This is their 65 foot model.
So it is five feet wider than where we just came from.
You're gonna feel a lot of similarities in terms of size.
However, this is their biggest floor plan
and I love that they built their biggest floor plan
as their model home.
As it sits, this home is around 4,400 square feet.
Now they've got some floor plans
that start around 3,000 square feet
and we'll tell you all about the prices here in a minute.
Now, normally when you would come into this home,
this would be walled off,
but this connects over to their sales center,
which typically is a garage.
And then we'll circle back here in a minute
because there's some more cool stuff
up at the front of this house.
But check out this entryway.
You got a gorgeous kind of statement staircase over here.
This is really where you would kind of loop in
through the garage.
And then right here,
you're immediately greeted with this formal dining.
Now it's pretty slick
because you got a whole built-in bar area over here.
One thing I've said in a lot of videos,
but I love about Highland,
their designs just feel different.
They'll still give you the big open space
that we'll show you here in a minute,
but you get a compartmentalization
where every room kind of feels like its own thing.
And it just feels like for the square footage,
you're getting more rooms and more spaces
because of the way that they design their homes.
But really cool.
Love the built-in wine fridge.
Very nice.
Love the countertops too.
We don't see these very often.
These are pretty different than what we're used to seeing
with the good old traditional white courts.
And then coming in here,
they do a lot of really simple stuff in their model homes
that will give you a lot of inspiration.
But like this millwork, for example,
in the scheme of things,
it's not that expensive to do
and it really elevates the home.
Now you got kind of the formal dining set up over here.
This is a six-seater table,
but you could easily throw a chair on each end,
turn it into an eight-seater.
And then if you go to the design center,
you can do cool stuff.
You can add accent walls and things
that really kind of elevate it.
But one of the things Highland is known for
is definitely having kind of the nicer finishes
per square foot.
So coming in here, this is where this home,
in my opinion, really wins everybody over.
I mean, this is one of my favorite model homes out here.
Check out how nice this kitchen is.
And then you go into the living room here in a second
and it really opens up.
But going along with the theme I just mentioned in there
of kind of compartmentalization,
it's got a kind of a traditional vibe
in terms of the kitchen being its own space
while still leaving you connected
over to the formal living area.
So you got pedestals over here on the kitchen island,
so a little bit different look.
And then tons of really good storage.
It's not sheetrock, it's elevated, it's upgraded.
And then you got real wood floors in here as well.
So stainless fridge,
all your kind of standard stainless appliances.
Got the corner pantry over here.
And then flipping around,
definitely kind of a classier, elegant look
with the traditional darker wood.
And then I love the pullout drawers.
Store all your pots and pans.
You got your gas cooktop over here.
And then check out this kind of statement piece.
It's just extra counter space in the kitchen.
You already have kind of the wine room area over there.
So this is just kind of like, I don't know,
junk drawers, extra storage.
You got the glass faces on the cabinets
to show off some cool stuff.
And then even with the countertops,
like doing different edges and stuff.
They're just, they're showing you
that they are different than a lot of these other builders.
And then here's where it goes into the wow feature.
Wow, I'm just gonna say it again, wow.
I mean, that's what you feel when you walk into this home.
Hopefully it comes through on camera,
but whenever you come into this home,
that's what you notice.
I mean, even going through, these aren't even 10 foot.
I don't think, these might even be tall.
Now those are about 10 foot.
These are huge, I'm just short.
So these are massive sliders and massive drapery,
huge ceiling.
Right behind you too, you got a gas fireplace.
So I say gas, this might be electric.
This might be the first one to confuse me.
Nope, it's gas.
We nailed it, it is gas.
So, and even going to the stone, going all the way up.
I mean, this is just classy.
You got the built-in surround sound
into the walls over here.
Now, what's interesting is they had that set up
as a formal dining room up front.
I'm gonna tell you right now,
I would completely scratch that
because you already have this gorgeous dining area here.
And this makes way more sense to dine in here
in the living room, next to the kitchen.
If it's me, I am definitely turning that front room
up into maybe like a music room,
have like a piano in there or like a sitting reading room.
And you're probably like, well, why not an office?
Well, because you got an office.
And you're probably like, well, why not a media room?
Because you got a media room.
That's what's so sick about this house.
I'm getting pumped up, guys.
This is one of the best floor plans you're gonna see
anywhere in Houston.
Full media room with no windows,
directly off of the main living area.
It's that secondary space on the first floor,
hanging out with the family.
And then coming over here, close this off.
Now, the one thing I will say, I love this floor plan.
The one thing I will say, if we're being really practical,
is if you do have little kids,
these things are not keeping them out of your office
when you're trying to work.
If you got TV playing and everything.
So maybe what you do is turn this into a playroom
for the kids and you turn that formal dining room,
you wall it off and turn that into an office.
That's probably how I would configure this house.
And then that would give you like a playroom
off the living room, give you a media room for the kiddos.
But either way, great floor plan, phenomenal floor plan.
Now you can see up here,
you got kind of these Juliet balconies.
You're getting the best of both worlds.
So upstairs is very much gonna feel like its own space.
There's a little bit of connectivity
over there to the downstairs.
Now, get my backwards walk on.
Huge enclosed outdoor patio.
So it's not a patio that kind of sticks out.
It's wrapped around the home,
which is gonna give you taller ceilings
and more shade cover.
Now, normally the patio would end right here,
but they added these pavers, extended it out.
They did a really cool gas fireplace,
which doesn't cost you too much money,
gives you a good place to hang out,
sit out, have a glass of wine,
crack a cold beer in the summer.
And then you even have room to build your own pool.
Not that you need it because you've got multiple pools
throughout Bridgeland just to go to.
But if you wanna host, you wanna entertain,
play catch with the kids, cornhole, whatever,
put the sprinkler on, let the kids play in it.
Great yard to do it.
It's in these kind of 60, 65 foot products
where the lot sizes get big enough
before you get a good size yard.
And then you're definitely gonna want that fan,
even though you get good shade cover out here,
it's nice and hot.
So get these guys closed up,
save that nice air conditioning.
And going back to what I was telling you about,
the house kinda, not everything's off the main living area.
It kind of snakes through,
gives you a nice little sound barrier, good extra storage.
And then come on in here.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, ceilings kick up.
You have a whole seating area over here.
This kind of feels like,
I mean, if you look at it from this view,
it feels like, yeah, there we go.
Sit with me, guys.
It feels like a hotel.
Where you, you know what I'm talking about?
Where you get like, you got your bed,
but then you have the seating area too,
where you can like, you know,
not that you can set your luggage on the ground
in your house, but you know what I'm talking about.
So gorgeous bay windows.
And then Highland just, their designers are great
at the wallpaper over here.
They do such a good job of like feminine touch,
but like masculine qualities, you know what I'm saying?
All right, cool bathroom.
Love the framed up mirrors.
Love that they took the tile all the way up.
Love the sconces.
Still interesting on the edges of these counters.
You get to pick which edges you want.
So I don't see those very often,
but you got the freestanding tub
and then you got the, oh my gosh, guys,
it's never happened to me before.
I was this close to absolutely smashing my face
on this glass.
I thought this was just an open shower
and I couldn't see the door.
That would have been good.
Here, meet me around.
So you got like a whole little showcase over here.
I did not think that there was gonna be glass
on the shower door.
You can't even see it from here, can you?
No, no, I almost smashed my face.
That would have been good.
All right, got your toilet room tucked in over here.
This is where it gets good, in my opinion.
I love a good Highland, but look,
you're starting to get built-ins.
You're starting to work our way up
and kind of, what's the word, features
without really breaking the bank.
Got a nice little built-in dresser over here.
So a really good size closet.
Great extra space over here,
but the connectivity to the laundry room is what I love.
And it's not a small laundry room either, it's big.
I'm going 8.8 on this closet for a lot of reasons.
I still love the wood floors.
Now, laundry room, it's not super wide, but it is long.
So you do have plenty of space to get the laundry done.
You're not necessarily crammed
right in front of the washer dryer.
You can come over here, fold clothes.
I would like to see more hanging space in the laundry room,
but you could probably mount a bar up over there.
So this snakes through all the way back
to the front of the house.
Now, here's what I will show you.
Over here, you've got your half bath
and they trimmed it out, so it looks really good.
Look at that sink.
I mean, look at the pedestal, look at the stone on that.
Looks really good.
Little linen closet over here.
Got its own en suite bathroom.
And then check out the closet space.
Good closet space.
Plenty of room for a full or queen bed.
These are massive nightstands.
Upgraded plantation shutters.
You got the black windows.
Everything about this home I'm loving so far.
And then I should have shown you on the way in
because these doors are gonna open up and hit you.
But plenty of storage here.
So that's more like a storage closet.
This one functioned as a coat closet.
It has a light in it.
Even has a light in it.
Look, a lot of builders don't do that.
So it's all the little things that add up.
Now, that is it for down here.
And then check out this staircase.
Very inviting.
It gets kind of wide at the mouth.
Pretty cool banister over here.
And I'm excited to check out what's upstairs.
Not only does the house have every room
you could think of on the first floor,
but there's even more.
Check out how much play space there is up here.
So you get this kind of secondary living room,
TV room, game room,
but you still have the views downstairs
to this kind of gorgeous open living room.
So it's pretty sick.
100%.
I saw the girl on the Highland video
and I thought it was Hilary Duff just now.
I was like, why did Hilary Duff buy a Highland home?
It's just a lookalike.
So totally threw me for a loop.
You even have this seating area over here in the window.
Little custom cushion for this.
So check out this room.
I mean, once again, at 4,400 square feet
on a 65 foot wide lot,
I don't think you really need to go much bigger than this.
You're not gonna get any more bedrooms.
You're just gonna get blown out spaces.
And that's what's cool with Highland
is you're not wasting the money
you're spending per square foot.
You're getting it
because you're getting all of these different rooms.
So down the hallway,
you've got kind of a little extra linen closet,
game room closet.
You even have this cute little Juliet
that spills over down into the entryway.
So full bathroom over here,
your shower tub combo.
And then this is where the bedrooms start.
Couldn't be more fitting
since literally the Texans will be practicing
like a couple football fields away.
We'll use football fields as the form of measurement
because it's football.
So a couple of football fields away,
building the Toro District.
They're gonna have outdoor practice facilities,
indoor practice facilities.
I'm pretty sure they're gonna run
the whole football team staff out of there too,
like ticket sales, everything.
So it's gonna be quite the operation.
And then one thing that really sets Highland apart too,
we're upstairs.
A lot of times upstairs in houses,
they'll shrink the ceiling heights.
Look at that.
They didn't do that.
These are 10 foot ceilings.
So really nice.
If you're a kid, you are spoiled in this house.
This is so much space.
You've got your own bathroom.
You've got a window in your closet.
You got metal rails.
And then even right here, even right here,
you got your own little linen closet.
So pretty good.
I'm loving it.
And there's more.
That's not it for up here.
We're gonna go all the way back.
Keith's having to walk backwards the best that he can.
Shake, shake, shake.
That was pretty impressive.
Round of applause for Keith.
So coming over here, last but not least,
we've got our fifth and final bedroom here.
So three bedrooms up, another full kind of en suite.
Really, really loving these room sizes.
Closet sizes are huge.
I don't know if it gets much better than this.
Now, listen, you might not need this much square footage,
but you definitely probably liked the finishes in this house,
some of the elements of the layouts of this house,
and really everything that goes into a Highland home.
When I tell you Highland homes are just built different,
they are just built different.
There's a couple things to it.
It's an employee-owned company,
but it's actually a woman-led company,
and there's just a lot of features in here
that you're not gonna see with a lot of the other builders.
So definitely, if you like it, be sure to reach out to us.
Obviously, we would love to sell you guys a Highland,
but you're probably wondering how much this Highland costs,
as well as all of the Highlands out here.
So as we head over to our last builder,
I'm gonna walk you through the pricing for Highland homes.
So we showed you the inside,
but one of the things I wanna show you
is this outside elevation.
Super classy, very elegant,
and some people think the black and white has come
and it's gone.
I don't think so.
I think it's here to stay.
I think this is always gonna be a good look on a home,
and it's tasteful.
It's got those nice little accents,
the black windows, the shutters,
all of it really comes together.
Another thing interesting
that a lot of people have questioned,
you'll notice on every single one of the model homes,
it's just something in Bridgeland
that I guess all the builders are required to do,
but they do this little L-shaped ledge over here,
which is pretty interesting.
So I don't know why they do it.
Maybe I'll find out
and I'll let you guys know in the next video.
So keep watching.
Now, Highland is building starting at 3,000 square feet.
So that's gonna be their smallest floor plan option.
And then within each floor plan,
you've got kind of structural options
you can add on like bigger back patios
or the bay windows and the master, stuff like that.
This happens to be their largest floor plan
with all of their options,
with all of their bells and whistles.
Now, their base price is starting to 700s,
but not many people buy a Highland home
and go with the base features.
That's kind of what makes Highland Highland
is they love how custom you can make it.
And so most of their homes
are probably gonna start around 800,000.
I know that sounds like a lot,
but it's a really, really nice house.
And there's some of the bigger homes out here.
And then they're gonna go all the way up to like 1 million,
1.1 million, if you go crazy.
Now, this home has a lot in the design center.
I'd say it's got almost everything,
which is why it looks so nice.
And this home would be over a million dollars,
maybe close to that 1.1 number.
So if you're in that 800 to one,
Highland is gonna be one of your better options
with some of those nicer finishes
and keep in mind everything you're getting out here,
we've already run through it,
but you are just in the spot here in Cyprus
with those good schools and with all of these amenities.
In fact, right here at the stop sign is the amenity center.
So you've got this covered outdoor park area.
And what I love is even though it's getting hot out here,
they thought about something.
They have shade.
They have these big awnings over the park
so that whenever it's the middle of the summer
and the sun is directly above us beaming on you,
you have shade cover so those play structures
don't get too hot for those kids,
which as a father with little kids,
I really appreciate those little things.
But we've got one more builder for you guys.
I'm not gonna tell you who it is until we get over there.
Last but not least,
we are inside of David Wheatley's 60 foot model.
You got this really cool modern solid steel door
to little glass inserts.
This home opens up really nicely.
Flip around real quick, Keith.
We'll show where we're headed here in a second.
But you've got gorgeous kind of light wood floors in here.
And this floor plan is just different
than a lot of different ones.
I mean, you're gonna see how much
it opens up here in a second.
We're gonna walk this one front to back.
Starting up over here,
you've got a secondary downstairs bedroom
that's as big as a master in most of these other homes.
So really great kind of guest room, in-law suite,
whatever you wanna call it.
But I mean, there's so much room in here.
You got tons of windows,
windows on really two of the sides.
You could fit a king bed in here with no issues,
full size dresser.
And then check this out.
You got a walk-in shower, you know, great for the in-laws.
You've got really nice walk-in closet over here.
And right up over here,
you have got your kind of flex space.
So it's tucked in nicely.
You could use this as a home office.
You could probably close it up,
but they've got it kind of opened up.
So this would be a good flex playroom for the kids.
The only thing I don't like about it
as a flex playroom for the kids
is the fact that literally this is the front door.
And so you don't really want
all your kids' toys exposed over here.
So throwing some doors on here would be nice,
get you a nice home office, but plenty of space.
I mean, this is a really deep room.
Gets a lot of natural light
with these big kind of oversized windows.
And it's nice what they did with these built-ins over here.
Now, this is not really some of the builder offers.
This is kind of just something
that they did for the model home.
Now, right when you come to the home,
you do have your staircase over here.
And then underneath the staircase is your half bath.
But this is what people really fall in love with
with this floor plan.
Check out just how open this is.
I mean, it's huge.
So starting over here, you got the kitchen,
your living room, the dining,
and really nice finishes throughout.
So different colored cabinetry, but same countertops.
And they got all their floor plans laid out over here.
Floor plans, square footages,
starting around 2,600 going up to 3,800 square foot.
So this is a 60-foot product,
so they're gonna be building
pretty much the same square footages
that we saw with Ravenna.
Highland being on those 65-foot lots,
slightly larger options.
And you got your gas cooktop, pull-out drawers we love.
Really, really well-appointed.
This is cool.
I like this a little bit more modern vent hood,
not quite as traditional.
So you'll notice there's a huge difference
between all three builders in terms of their styles.
So it's pretty easy to walk in and fall in love with one
because one of these three is gonna stand out to you.
You got the cornered pantry.
Ooh, solid corridor.
So that's interesting.
Not all builders have those.
A lot of times on the interior doors,
they'll just be hollow because they're cheaper.
But I love a good solid corridor.
It's just sturdy, better sound barrier.
I like the upgraded microwave here, this Monogram.
This is a nice product line.
You got your little coffee bar set up over here.
And then same thing with this upgraded refrigerator.
Now, this dining room's great,
not only because it is in the main living area
and it's super convenient to serve from the kitchen,
but it's just not confined.
So you can put a leaf in this table
and take it from an eight-seater to a 10-seater
and come out to here
and you're still gonna have plenty of space.
So four bar stools.
So you got plenty of room over here on the counters.
And then I don't know if you got a good look at these floors
but they really are some of my favorites, nice and pretty.
And then he's got sliders across this whole back wall.
I mean, literally the whole back of this house
just completely opens up.
So I'm gonna get stuck again, Keith.
It's gonna happen.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Love this huge kind of covered back patio area.
Now flip around, show them how big this yard is.
Now this is obviously a unique lot size,
really just unique to this model home park.
But I will tell you,
they have two lots left that back up
to one of the lakes out here.
They only have two left
and it's definitely something to check out
because the prices on these,
which we'll tell you afterwards,
are pretty remarkable considering they have two lake lots.
Now after that, the lake lots with David Wheatley
are gonna be completely gone.
So now this is the smaller of the two sliders.
This one's even bigger, I'm not gonna open it back up.
But having both of these
just completely changes the vibe inside,
gives you all this natural light.
And then this living room,
you'd have to pass through it
to get back over to the master, but it is nice.
It's big, you could do a big L-shaped sectional here.
So plenty of space over here.
Just love how open this home is.
Now the ceilings in here are huge.
These things are like 16, 18 feet tall.
And check out this puppy.
Hi, buddy.
He's my favorite kind of dog.
It's quiet, doesn't make your house smell, doesn't shed.
So it's a perfect dog, great dog.
Obedient, it listens, it's amazing.
Love the chandelier.
They got speakers built in.
They're playing a little quiet music through here.
But guys, there's so much room in this bedroom.
Okay, this is slightly bigger than that front bedroom,
which goes to show just how big these rooms really are.
King size bed.
And then you got the bathroom.
Now this bathroom is a vibe, lots of mirrors.
So say hi, Keith.
Probably gonna be in one of these.
There we go.
So you got the tub, you got the shower.
I like this setup.
This is like a little close.
You can be like bumping booties with your spouse
when you're getting ready over here.
So I don't really know what you would do with this,
but I do like that you got the outlet right here.
Makes it nice.
Decent storage, good natural light.
Love the toilet room, because you got plenty of room.
And then closet's got some nice built-ins over here.
So decent size.
Now these are really cool.
I don't know if you've seen these before.
So this is like a tie rack,
but sometimes they'll put these extra little sliders.
Look, oh, you're gonna love these.
If you don't know about these,
I just got these in my closet.
Check this out.
If you're packing for a trip or something,
this is such a good pro tip.
We've never done this in this video.
You're packing for your trip,
you're like, oh, I don't know what I should wear.
Boom, maybe I should bring that with me.
Okay, maybe I should bring that with me.
And you figure it all out right here,
and then you don't forget the clothes.
That's the key.
I left last week.
I hung all my shirts up here.
I got to where we were going.
My bag was all packed.
Well, guess what?
I didn't pack these in the bag.
I had zero shirts.
So what did I do?
I bought more.
It was perfect.
I'm rating this closet,
specifically because of this feature.
We're taking it, it would be a 7.9.
We're going 8.1.
We're going into the eights.
So I love this floor plan.
It really lives like a one-story,
but it is a two-story home.
And so you've got really only one other area
on the first floor before we head on upstairs
where the rest of the home is.
And that is gonna be kind of the laundry room
slash mud room coming in from the garage.
So you got a little storage closet in here,
coat rack, little drink fridge, washer, dryer,
little folding table,
even got some extra storage in here, which is super nice.
So absolutely love this.
But what's nice is, you know,
that second story isn't spilling over
down into this living room,
which is what I'm always hyping up.
It's how my house is and I absolutely love it.
So let's go check out upstairs.
So two, not one, but two out of the builders
we checked out today matched the stair treads
with the flooring.
It looks great.
I'm telling you, they don't always do it.
I also love these railings.
They're like really sturdy.
I prefer this over wood
because I just know a kid's not gonna bust through it.
And then look, decent space up here, decent space.
But what I love about it is it's a true upstairs.
Like I could scream,
you're not gonna hear me downstairs
because there's no open areas.
You have to go back down those stairs to,
I guess that makes sense.
You have to go down the stairs to get downstairs,
but that's not what I'm saying.
What I'm saying is there's not like a big open cavity
to be able to yell downstairs.
So it's very much its own space.
You even have floor plugs.
I don't know why they have floor plugs over here.
Maybe for like a kid's Christmas tree
or something like that.
But got its own little playroom, game room space,
and then multiple bedrooms that are very good size,
I might add, very good size.
This floor plan's 3,800 square feet.
It feels huge.
I mean, it feels really big.
Because keep in mind, downstairs had that other
kind of like second master bedroom.
Good size closet.
They even have kind of like walk-in closets.
These are all locked up,
but just wait till you see this last bedroom
we're gonna check out.
That's really where you're gonna learn
about what makes David Weekly so special.
Got one of your full baths up here.
You got this bedroom tucked back.
Got kind of the motocross vibe
or I guess mountain biking in this case.
All the goggles.
Let's check out the closet sizes.
Definitely wanna do that for you guys.
So, decent hanging space.
Now, they did transition.
These doors up here, they're the hollow ones.
Downstairs, they got the solid ones.
Let's see.
Yep.
Hmm.
Hmm, hmm, hmm.
Now, this is a Jack and Jill bathroom,
so it's gonna share with this other bedroom.
Check out the shower tile.
They ended up kind of doing two different tiles,
so that looks good instead of just sheet rock.
And you're like, why is this room blank?
Well, this is where David Weekly shines.
I really wanted to tell you the difference
between each of these builders
and where David Weekly really kind of
puts their name in the hat
is they are the most energy efficient builder, so they say.
But we believe them because they actually show you
what's going on behind the walls.
So, it starts with traditional construction
is usually two by four on 16 inch stud spacings.
Here, you've got two by six construction on 24 inch.
And what that allows
is for you to have more insulation in the walls,
which when it's hot like it is right now,
it makes a huge difference.
But it's not just what's in the walls,
it's also what's in the ceiling.
So, flip on up there and you can see
these homes are spray foamed.
Now, they're not spray foamed on the exterior walls.
Some builders do, but they get the best of both worlds.
Get tons of high R19, see right here,
R19 high performance wall insulation.
And then you get spray foam in the attic.
And you can see, looks like it's about 80 degrees
in the attic, which I'll just tell you right now
how hot it is outside.
Ta-da.
I'm gonna guess 91 degrees outside right now.
90 degrees, I was close.
90 degrees and it's 80 in the attic.
That's pretty good.
It's not gonna get any hotter than that with the spray foam.
It can be like 105 outside
because it is kind of climate controlled
and it's tied into what's going on here in the house.
You can also see they've thrown a little shade
at some of the builders, but I have seen this before.
Just poor quality like construction.
You got these guys throwing homes together,
leaving trash in the walls,
using old outdated plumbing solutions versus PEX.
PEX is a flexible pipe that can expand and contract
if there is a freeze for some reason.
And then they also have the David Weekly guarantee.
So they will do an energy audit on your home.
If your monthly bill comes in over a certain amount,
they will do an audit for you.
And if there's something wrong with the house,
they'll fix it, which there shouldn't be,
but they'll fix it and they'll credit you back
for those electric bills if they were too high.
So that's one thing that's completely different
with David Weekly from these other builders.
This is a pretty sick house,
being that this is the fifth bedroom, tons of space,
all the different bedrooms that you would want.
They've got some smaller options too.
Let's head on outside and I'll tell you about those.
Well, what did you think guys?
We had three killer options today.
The last of which is coming in
at a pretty similar price range.
You can start building around 2,600 square feet
and their largest floor plan, this one is 3,800 square feet.
And the prices are gonna start just above 600,000.
Right now, I think they've got a move-in ready home
right around 620,000.
And then they're gonna go all the way up to around 800,000.
You might be able to go a little bit more
if you go crazy in the design center.
But what's crazy is the incentives that they've been running,
not only are they buying down interest rates,
but they've been offering like $75,000 credits,
which you can use towards interest rate buy-downs.
You could use that in a reduction of the price.
If you're a cash buyer,
you can use that in design center incentives.
And what that's doing is it's pulling some of those homes
that would normally be over 800,000 down into the 700s.
And some of them, two of them,
happen to be on those lake lots I was telling you about.
So if you're interested in David Weekly
and you want a lake lot, literally reach out to us
like the day this is posted,
because these things are gonna sell like this.
And out of any model home park I've been to in Houston,
and I've been in every single one of them,
this neighborhood gets more traffic.
There's more demand here in Bridgeland.
Salespeople in other neighborhoods
are struggling right now.
They are not struggling out here.
They are selling homes.
And it's just because you combine all these factors together
like the location, the area amenities,
the great public schools, the great private schools,
the pools, the parks, the playgrounds, the home builders,
and there's just so much more ahead.
Now, as always, we got you covered.
We got videos on every single neighborhood in Cyprus.
We've got other videos right here on Bridgeland.
Check those out.
We're gonna come back here in the next couple of weeks
and hit these other price points in this new model home park.
And as always, if you're thinking about moving here,
don't be shy.
Give us a call, shoot us a text, send us a quick email.
That way we can help you guys make a smooth move
right here to Houston, Texas.
