Wildwood expands 200 acres, 475 lots in Tomball

TOMBALL – Friendswood Development Co. has acquired a 200-acre parcel of land for the expansion of its top-selling Wildwood at NorthPointe community off SH 249 and Northpointe Blvd.

The 200 acres, which borders Boudreaux Rd. and is north of the Oakcrest at Wildwood neighborhood, was purchased from the Martens family of Tomball. The expansion will add about 475 lots, plus space for trails, pocket parks and a recreation center.

The first lots are expected to be available to builders next year. The lots will come in a variety of sizes consisting of 50-, 60-, 65-, and 75-foot wide home sites.

Buildout for the expanded Wildwood at NorthPointe is projected for spring 2019. Builders consist of Village Builders, Lennar, M/I Homes, Meritage Homes and Anglia Homes.

Wildwood at NorthPointe, a 700-acre community offering homes priced from about $190,000 to more than $600,000, was named among the Top 20 master-planned communities in the nation for 2014 by John Burns Real Estate Consulting.

The community reported 442 home sales last year, an increase of 129 percent in 2014, according John Burns Real Estate Consulting. It benefited from the completion of the Grand Pkwy. south of US 290 to I-10 along with other communities such as Towne Lake and Canyon Lakes West.
