Anyone live in the new areas of Bridgeland (specifically Creekland village) outside 99? Or does anyone have thoughts or advice navigating the process of purchases one of the new builds?

Thank and will do! We rent in cy creek lakes and love all the bridgeland parks & amenities.

I live in Elyson (Katy 99) which is 15 minutes from Bridgeland. And purchased my home last year. What questions do you have around the process?

Hey! Thanks for your other response. I have a few questions around purchase builder grade home in new neighborhood.

1) first, how are you liking Elyson? We have them on our list to consider but haven’t made it out there yet. Anything red flags for the community?

2) Did the builder try to pull anything last minute? Whether it’s changing interest rate, property tax evaluation, etc.

3) I’ve heard some stories about it taking upwards of 6 months to get warranty work completed. Have you experienced anything like that? And did your inspector find anything worth fixing?

I’m right off 249/99 and we purchased a new build from Lennar back in 2019. You’ll have warranties on mostly everything so new construction is the way that we like to go. They usually sell them with the appliances, blinds, etc. so you usually don’t miss out on stuff. They’ll probably have extra paint, bricks, etc. that you can keep for later on to touch up stuff.

You may pay a little premium since it is brand new but there’s usually peace of mind since you’re the first family in it and everything is new.

Why are you looking in the new build area? There is inventory in the other established villages of Bridgeland that are zoned to the highly rated Bridgeland schools. Much of the new build area is zoned to Waller ISD instead.

Unfortunately there’s not much in the established areas we can afford. New builds are much more affordable with incentive interest rates. We’re mid-twenties with no kids in the picture for another few years so not TOO picky about the district/school location (obviously they’re important for home value).

I’m assuming with that side of 99 set to develop more over the next decade Waller ISD will be forced to get on the same level of Cy-Fair. However I’m definitely not an expert on the politics of school districts so I’m willing to be told I’m wrong.

Also any pros/cons you weighed between new build & non-new (used? lol) homes?

I would say for new builds - you of course get the warranty backed so if any major issues occurs like electrical, foundation, etc., most should be covered for at least the 1st year. You also get a lot of good incentives that you can use towards the home.

Pros of a “resale” home - usually that home comes with all the necessities (i.e., shades/blinds), upgrades to the home like landscaping, interior upgrades, etc. Any “issues” with the home more than likely have been fixed (if newer construction). Could be priced lower because they are trying to compete against the new builds.
Cons: You may not like the upgrades made, warranty is usually gone/ not as long, may need to replace or fix things sooner depending on the age of the home.
