Newland Communities, the developer that created award-winning Cinco Ranch and Seven Meadows, takes another step forward with Elyson. Katy’s newest master-planned community has set the table for what residents can expect from their developer, and is poised to become the next highly-desired community in this corridor. Elyson is located north of I-10, along FM 529 and directly adjacent to a new interchange off the Grand Parkway, providing easy access to and from the community. Elyson is comprised of over 3,600 acres (750 of those for celebrating nature) and is planned for more than 6,000 homes. But this community’s draw isn’t just about where you live — it’s about how you live. The community is zoned to Katy Independent School District, one of the most sought-after districts in Texas that has earned the highest possible rating by the Texas Education Agency and is also currently ranked #1 for 2018 best school districts in the Houston area – by niche. com. The district recently puchased land to build a new elementary school that will be within walking distance from Elyson’s community center. In addition to a top-notch education system, Elyson also has amenities galore. Residents enjoy the ability to connect with their neighbors, get outdoors into beautiful nature, and be an active part of the community every day. Elyson House community center is the heartbeat of the neighborhood. Neighbors can hang out with the whole family, grab a bite to eat at the full-service Elyson Café where you can meet new friends over lunch or a latte, utilize the fitness center and take a dip in the swimming pool that is open year-round with beach-like entry. There also is a community event lawn, a game room equipped with every game you’d need for game night, and neighborhood parks and trails. Because Newland Communities believes in creating enduring places that get even better over time, Elyson consists of several orchards. In honor of the agricultural heritage of Katy, residents will be able to stop by the orchards one day and pick lemons, oranges, pecans and figs. Elyson also has its very own Lifestyle Director, who plans monthly resident events like story time with authors, Baby Bootcamp, art classes, outdoor movies on the event lawn, crafting events, game-watching parties on the patio, resident happy hours at the café and more. There is always an “excuse” to get out of the house and into the neighborhood. Community members will also be able to partake in a variety of new, outdoor activities. Tennis courts, a soccer field, an open space trail system that will connect various neighborhoods, and eventually a lake for nonmotorized boating, fishing and kayaking are just a few amenities on the list for future development. But what about the homes? Equal parts welcoming and well-designed, Elyson’s homes are vibrant, luxurious, comfortable and stylish. They’re all crafted by one of twelve accomplished homebuilders: -Chesmar Homes -Darling Homes -David Weekley Homes -Drees Custom Homes -Highland Homes -Lennar -Meritage Homes -Perry Homes -Pulte Homes -Trendmaker Homes -Village Builders -Westin Homes The typical Elyson home features an open floor plan with a large living area that opens to a spacious kitchen, complete with a center island and suite of modern appliances—perfect for cooking anything from a family dinner to an elaborate meal to entertain guests.
