Riverstone offers quiet living near the water

Lakeside living is a way of life in Riverstone, a master-planned community in Sugar Land that continues to expand. Built in 2001, Riverstone is home to 6,400 houses along with 200 acres of lakes, 500 acres of green space and resort-style amenities for its residents. Its residents also benefit from a stellar location, offering easy access to both downtown Houston 25 miles north and Galveston Island just an hour southeast. "I think the water attracts a special breed of people, and we all have that love for the water in common," says Realtor Sharron Hensley of HomeSmart and native Houstonian who now lives in Galveston. "It really brings out the best in people when there's a shared love for the water and wildlife in the area, and being right by the Seawall provides a lot of opportunity for adventure on the bay."

Luxury living sets Riverstone apart

Lavish homes and luxurious estates are found throughout the neighborhood. Mediterranean is the most popular home style, displaying signature shingled rooves with stucco facades. Traditional homes with both brick and stone facades feature arched entryways, manicured lawns and backyard patios. Standard four-bedroom homes average around 3,000 square feet, while estates boast up to 9,000 square feet of living space with lakes sitting just steps away. As the community continues to grow, custom builds continue to pop up, starting at 4,000 square feet. Multilevel terraces grace the rear of some homes, providing a setting to take in the amazing lakeside views. The community also features several onsite resort-style pools, complete with splash parks and winding waterslides. Single-family homes can range from $400,000 to $900,000, while sprawling mansions and estates start at just over $1 million and soar to nearly $4 million.

Wetlands Park is one of Riverstone's top outdoor attractions

Over 500 acres of green space are incorporated throughout the community, offering ample opportunities for residents to get up and get out. About 20 miles of walking trails along the lakes connect several parks, including Shadow Mist Park and Riverstone Dog Park. All the parks within the community come with play areas for children, while the dog park has 3.5 acres of open space for furry friends to frolic freely. The waterside walking trails, which lead to the Wetlands Park at Riverstone, have benches for watching the wildlife in the area, like egrets and Dalmatian pelicans. Established to replenish some of the natural environment that was lost to the area’s residential development, the Wetlands are filled with wildlife and have informational placards placed along its walking trails for educational purposes. Riverstone has plenty to do within the community, and it doesn’t stop with the parks and pools. The homeowners association hosts regular events for residents, including family bingo, senior bingo, wine tastings at the clubhouse and Sunday Sweets, a Riverstone-wide weekly ice cream social.
