First Colony
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.Schools with A to A plus ratings from Niche
Fort Bend Independent School District serves First Colony, including residences in Plantation Settlement. Within this district, students may attend Colony Bend Elementary School and First Colony Middle School, both are in First Colony and earn A ratings from Niche. Homes are also zoned for either Dulles High School or Clements High School. They both earn the highest Niche score: A plus. These schools are just steps from some homes and short drives from others as they are all conveniently located within First Colony.Shopping at First Colony Mall
There are several shopping centers along Highway 6 and at the juncture of Highway 6 and I-69, including First Colony Mall and Sugarland Town Square, which both have popular chain restaurants and retail shops, like Chipotle, Macy's, Apple and Loft, along with some trend-setting brands local to Houston, like 139Made. First Colony Marketplace off Highway 6 has local restaurants like Renu's Kitchen for Indian Classics and Keeper's for Japanese while also offering an H-E-B for groceries. There's also a Target, Petco, Home Depot and more in Riverstone Shopping Center.Traveling along the Sam Houston Tollway
Most neighbors drive in and around First Colony for everyday essentials. The Fort Bend Transit does have a park and ride location at the AMC Theatre on Town Center Boulevard South. Its bus routes take locals downtown, to Greenway Plaza, the Galleria area and the Texas Medical Center. The local hospital, Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital, is right by the theatre as are a swarm of other medical facilities. The nearest airport is William P. Hobby, around 30 miles away via the Sam Houston Tollway.The FCCSA spearheads local events
"We like to get the families out for Chinese New Year, Juneteenth, July 4th celebrations and things like that," says Bill Grantham, the director of operations at FCCSA. "You see a lot of friendly faces at them. Most folks have lived here for 20 years." Neighborhoods also have their own specific HOA events, from holiday decorating contests to dive-in movie nights at their community pools.Swimming at the Aquatic Center Lap Pool
First Colony has several neighborhood parks with playgrounds and sports fields. The most popular recreational site, according to Grantham, is the Aquatic Center Lap Pool – which is heated year-round, has a lazy river, waterslide, splash pad and more. Family fun can also be had at Altitude Trampoline Park in First Colony Marketplace and at the ice rink at Sugar Land Ice & Sports Center next to Fort Bend ISD’s Edward Mercer Stadium. Trails wind throughout First Colony and feed into Sugar Land Memorial Park where they loop around its lake and through its butterfly garden. Locals kayak along the water and the waterway at Oyster Creek Park, off Highway 6.
