Telfair is one of the premier residential neighborhoods in Sugar Land

From its lakeside living and bustling community centers to A-graded schools and proximity to top shopping destinations, it's no secret why Telfair has become one of the more attractive neighborhoods in Greater Houston. "Telfair is all-encompassing. It's got everything you could possibly need there — restaurants, grocery stores, dry cleaners, the mechanic. You don't really have to leave the community," says local Realtor Susan Garczynski of Keller Williams Southwest, who is a lifelong resident of Greater Houston. "As far as Sugar Land is concerned, they've been pretty built out for a long time, so this is one of the newer neighborhoods even though it's already 15 years old. It's a little bit newer construction for Sugar Land."

Telfair offers various home styles from Tudor Revivals to contemporary colonials

Homes in Telfair come in a variety of different shapes and sizes. Contemporary colonials with brick facades sit alongside Tudor Revival properties and smaller ranch-style homes along Telfair's tree-shaded streets. Most homes price between $400,000 and $800,000, though some larger properties can sell for over $1 million. Given Telfair's location and smorgasbord of amenities, it isn't uncommon for homes to sell quickly. Like many Houston communities, Telfair is diverse, though it's not as much of a melting pot as downtown Houston, which is famed for its cultural range, notes local Realtor Suzanne Corbin of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, who is from Houston and has sold dozens of homes around the area.

Telfair Community Park is one of the community's recreational hubs

Telfair encourages an active lifestyle with its network of waterside walking trails and pocket parks. Telfair Community Park is a neighborhood favorite for its splash pad while serving as a top spot for pickup basketball games. Pecan Park is another popular gathering place in the New Territory community, offering stunning lake views from its signature gazebo. Telfair Central Hall draws residents for its fitness center and tennis courts, and The Club at New Territory is a premier destination for Little League games and swim meets. The Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land is another popular attraction. Sitting in the heart of Telfair, the museum's Hall of Paleontology wows its visitors and features various interactive science displays. The museum even hosts the annual Jingle Tree event, when bidders vie for exquisitely decorated holiday trees.
