First Colony was designed by a golf course architect
East of where Highway 6 and Interstate 69 converge in Sugarland, First Colony embraces 10,000 residents within a carefully maintained master-planned community. The community’s well-tended streets meander alongside lakes, parks, and greenbelts, evoking the same sense of openness found on a sprawling golf course. Unsurprisingly, First Colony’s contours were shaped in the 1980s by someone well-versed in that kind of terrain, Roger Packard – a golf course architect. The landscaping and architecture of this community are safeguarded by deed agreements, while association fees sustain shared amenities from Pickleball courts to its parks, trails, pools and aquatic center. Meanwhile, local schools, hospitals, and shopping centers create a life of convenience.

Governed by the First Colony Community Association
First Colony subdivisions, aside from Plantation Settlement – which is technically in Missouri City – are governed by the First Colony Community Association (FCCSA). Residents pay an annual assessment fee starting in the $400s and sign up for aesthetic property agreements, where even the shape and color of an added security camera, is considered. Some neighborhoods have specific contracts that prevent certain additions, like the addition of walls and fences. While the predominant style across subdivisions is brick traditionals with A frame roofs, there is the occasional outlying Neo-French Provincial-style home and Sweetwater Estates has opulent mansions on golf courses. There are a few townhome and condo communities as well. Some neighbors, including those in Crescent Lakes, live by lakes and neighborhood parks. Single-family traditional brick homes with 3 bedrooms range from $300,000 to $600,000 while the most opulent homes head toward the millions. Properties currently spend around 27 days on the market, faster than the national average of 41.
