Lakefront properties in a prime location in Sugar Land
Tucked away just south of the Sugar Land Town Square, Avalon allows potential homebuyers to purchase a lakefront property just 26 miles southeast of Houston. Developed between 1999 and 2005, the neighborhood features a community association, which oversees many shared amenities, including a community pool and hosts a handful of events. Avalon is located just south of most of the hot spots in Sugar Land and is about a 30-minute drive into Houston for work or play. “Everyone wants to live in Avalon,” says Kristen Manz, a Realtor and team lead of the Greater Houston Living Team at EXP Realty. “The homes are newer compared to the rest of the area and are very well built and well known throughout the area.”

Custom-built properties in a sought-after neighborhood
On the banks of multiple lakes, homes sit on compact well, manicured lots, most featuring stunning water views. Neighborhood streets are lined with sidewalks shaded by scattered trees in front yards. While there is a chance to purchase townhouses, most home inventory includes brick Craftsman and Colonial Revivals to larger estate homes with Mediterranean touches. Buyers can find a townhouse for around $500,000, while the price of a Colonial Revival rises to nearly $700,000. Some larger estate homes also can eclipse the $1 million mark. “The market is hot because it's a well-known neighborhood. Most of the homes in the area are custom or semi-custom built with top-line finishing,” Manz says. Avalon’s CAP Index Crime Score is a 1-out-of-10 across the index’s metrics, which is lower than the national average.
Avalon boasts a range of home styles, from elegant single-family houses to spacious estates.
