Riverstone Opens Homes for Weekend Tours Through March

 (Sugar Land, TX – March 13, 2010)     With low interest rates, the home buyer tax credit and builder incentives piquing buyer interest, Riverstone has decided to open all of its more than 20 completed and under-construction homes during its Spring Open Homes Extravaganza, slated for weekends in March. 

Available homes in Riverstone are open to tempt homebuyers, with properties ranging in price from the $200,000s to the millions. Prospective buyers can tour the homes from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays during March, as well as noon to 5 p.m. Sundays. Visitors also can become more familiar with Riverstone, which is noted for luxurious homes in a landscape accented by 250 acres of lakes and waterways and plentiful green space.  

“There has never been a better time to buy, especially considering low mortgage interest rates and the extended federal home buyer tax credit,” said Tom Wilcox, Riverstone’s general manager. “And buyers have really been responding in Riverstone this year, with our strongest January sales ever.” 

Visitors also can tour more than a dozen model homes in the community, including models by Ashton Woods Homes and Coventry Homes in Sanders Glen, a neighborhood in Sugar Land’s extraterritorial jurisdiction with prices from the $300,000s and choice homesites available. The neighborhood is near Riverstone’s 75-acre Lake Riverstone.
 
David Weekley Homes, Plantation Homes, Westin Homes and Meritage Homes also have models open in Stonebrook, a neighborhood of 50- and 60-foot homesites, with prices from the $200,000s. 

A community noted for its many water features, Riverstone has a diverse offering of homes, including The Manors townhomes by custom builder Westport, patio homes by Darling Homes and properties priced from the $200,000s to $400,000s by builders Ashton Woods Homes, Coventry Homes, Darling Homes, David Weekley Homes, Highland Homes, Meritage Homes, Newmark Homes, Perry Homes, Plantation Homes, Trendmaker Homes and Westin Homes. Custom builders are Bayou Bend Homes, Christopher Sims Homes, Peterson Homebuilders, Sterling Classic and Westport.  

Rated one of the top 10 selling communities in Houston, the 3,700-acre community Riverstone is slated for 6,000 homes during the next eight years. Residents enjoy impressive amenities, with two resort-style swimming complexes, a fishing pier, miles of trails and pedestrian walkways, the area’s first “bark park,” and more than 250 acres of lakes and waterways. 

Riverstone students attend some of Fort Bend’s most respected schools, including Austin Parkway, Commonwealth, Schiff and Settlers Way elementaries; Baines, First Colony and Fort Settlement middle schools; and Clements and Elkins high schools. 

Riverstone is conveniently located at Highway 6, three miles south of U.S. 59, and offers easy access to several major thoroughfares, including the Fort Bend Parkway. Abundant dining and shopping choices are just minutes away, including First Colony’s booming Town Square.
