Elyson House, Elyson Café add amenities, offerings for summer

-

This month, swim season will get underway as pools open in many Houston area communitie­s. At Elyson, a new community in the Katy Independen­t School District, the swimming pool at Elyson House never closed.

Open for year-round — although unheated — swimming, Elyson’s pool is enjoyed by many residents who take advantage of Houston’s often-mild weather.

Year-round swimming is one of many unique amenities available to residents of Elyson, located at Grand Parkway and FM 529. Part of the Katy Independen­t School District, Elyson offers new homes priced from the $200,000s to $700,000s.

Here are some more one-of-a-kind amenities at Elyson, which will devote more than 750 acres in its 3,600-acre master plan to parks, trails, lakes and natural open spaces:

Elyson House, featuring Prairie-style architectu­re inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, also offers tennis courts, a playground, and a lawn that hosts events such as the recent Great Get-Together picnic and concert. Inside, Elyson House offers a fitness center, a meeting room, and a gameroom with foosball, ping-pong and more.

Elyson Café, located in Elyson House and open to residents and the public, has a new summer menu with several varieties of internatio­nal gourmet burgers. The menu also includes pastas, pizzas, salads, coffees and more. Poolside service and take-home meals for four are also offered.

Pickleball and bocce ball will be offered at Elyson’s newest park, opening this fall. This one-acre park will also have a shade pavilion and a lakeside fire pit.

Elyson has miles of trails that meander through meadows of wildflower­s and past scenic lakes. About 30 miles of trails are ultimately planned.

Community orchards invite residents to pick their own citrus fruits and nuts in Elyson.

A Lifestyle Director plans a year-round calendar of activities for residents, including Story Time, Baby Boot Camp, Movies in the Park and more.
