Recreation Farms is open to various land uses

In Recreation Farms, it’s as easy to find a gated rambler home as it is to find a commercial lot or a diesel engine repair shop. This diversity of development makes it an appealing area for many. “That area is popular because of the lots,” says Candelaria Hernandez, a Houston local and Realtor with Brooks & Davis Real Estate. “There are no deed restrictions, so the lots are larger; that’s why there’s so much commercial development and residential development.” In addition, Recreation Farms is minutes away from retail strips along Houston’s outer rim and within a half hour of downtown Houston employers.

Buyers seek houses, undeveloped lots and commercial properties

Mobile and ranch-style homes line the narrow, tree-dotted streets in the north half of the community, while the south half is full of unrestricted lots and commercial and industrial properties. Hernandez says most of the lots are big, starting around 10,000 square feet but measuring up to an acre. “Buyers who are traditional homeowners like the land because it's unrestricted; they can try hobby farming with the extra space.” The area offers many opportunities, whether buyers are seeking homes, undeveloped parcels or a landing spot for a small business. Homes don’t hit the market often, but the median price is about $275,000.
