Bear Creek Plantation features brick homes built in the 1990s
Brick bungalows and traditional-style homes built by long-time Texas builder Perry Homes sell for $230,000 to $380,000. “It is very affordable for the Houston area, especially for somewhere considered a suburb,” says Tricia Turner, a Realtor with the Tricia Turner Group, who's been selling in the area for 25 years. The neighborhood consists of modest 1990s-era homes with tidy lawns, driveways and attached garages. At the center of the neighborhood is a community pool and tennis courts within walking distance of most homes. Properties stay on the market for an average of 22 days, shorter than the national average of 45 days.
With the Houston area having a history of floods, heavy rain can impact the water levels of Dinner Creek just north of the neighborhood. “My parents bought a house there in 1990, and it did not flood before Hurricane Harvey in 2017. It takes something like Harvey,” says area resident Gabriel Suarez, a Realtor with eXp Realty.
The subdivisions in Bear Creek Plantation feature large, beautiful trees in most yards.
