What is a master-planned community?
A term introduced by Friendswood Development Company to Houston more than 40 years ago, “master-planned” simply means: a community created with a concept in mind and a plan set in place. This plan or design is created at the community’s inception and followed throughout its development. What it means for residents in a Friendswood Development community is that they have a clear vision of what their community will look like at its completion, and know this the day they purchase their new home. The master plan designates within the boundaries of the community, the location of residential neighborhoods or villages, the mix of that residential development, all recreation and common areas and all commercial development.
