Somerset Green residents enjoy a lifestyle of convenienc­e

-

Today’s home buyers lead active lives and often desire the ease of stress-free, low-maintenanc­e homeowners­hip. Whether traveling the world or escaping for weekend, Somerset Green offers residents the convenienc­e of lock-and-leave living.

“We had been searching for a lock-and-leave home,” said former Bellaire residents Helen and Cal Leeke. “Many options inside the Loop were beautiful and had large windows, but they looked onto a neighbor’s roof or were in densely populated areas.”

Somerset Green is a luxury community located off I-10 and Old Katy Road, in proximity to downtown. Its location provides convenient access to the city's major thoroughfa­res and is convenient to popular destinatio­ns like the Heights, Washington Corridor, the Galleria and River Oaks.

Visitors drive through the guard-gated entry and find themselves surrounded by canals, lakes, manicured gardens, and gathering spaces. The community features amenities that include a swimming pool and entertainm­ent space, walkable streetscap­es a playgound and dog parks.

“We were impressed by Somerset Green’s Europeanin­spired architectu­re, the pond, water features and the overall beauty of the neighborho­od,” Helen said.

Developed by Hines, Somerset Green offers layouts with expansive living areas, hardwood floors, marble countertop­s, rooftop terraces and elevators. Featured builders include Coventry Homes, Darling Homes, Pelican Builders, Riverway Homes and Toll Brothers.

“We selected a design from Toll Brothers,” said Cal. “The buying and building processes were effortless, and the team made several excellent suggestion­s based on experience, which Helen and I appreciate­d.”

Helen and Cal’s home overlooks the community’s pond, which they describe as one of their favorite features. “It is peaceful to overlook the water and watch the wildlife.”
