Commuter-friendly Plantation Lakes is zoned for good schools

Location and home prices make Plantation Lakes an appealing spot in the suburban sprawl stretching from Houston to Katy. Nearby highways provide commuters easy routes to work, while home prices are more accessible than in nearby cities. “Residents like the Katy area because it is close to their work, and they like the schools for their kids. For anyone I’ve sold to there, one of the things they always like about the neighborhood is the school district,” says Flor Rodriguez, a Realtor with Lone Star Realty, who has sold homes in the area for 20 years.

Plantation Lakes is perfect for families with kid friendly amenities and top rated schools.

Plantation Lakes’ 21st-century homes

Traditional-style 21st-century houses on sidewalk-lined cul-de-sacs sell for $220,000 to $380,000, which is less than in some neighboring communities. Prices can reach up to $700,000 west of Highway 99 and exceed $1 million in Cypress. Standard features in Plantation Lakes include garages and front patios overlooking yards shaded by trees. “The neighborhood is a little newer than the ones surrounding it,” says local Realtor Kim Rensimer, with Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty. She’s been selling homes in Houston for 13 years. “They’ve got more of the Hardie plank siding as opposed to the fully brick construction you’ll get across the road.” Plantation Lakes also contains several apartment complexes along Greenhouse and Little York roads. With flooding a known factor in the Houston area, rain can impact water levels in Bear Creek in the southern end of the neighborhood.

Nearby highways head to Katy and Houston

The neighborhood is between Highway 99, which makes a semi-circle around northern Houston, and Highway 6, which goes south to Sugar Land. FM 529 connects to Highway 290, which takes commuters 28 miles into Houston. Interstate 10 also heads east to downtown and west into Katy. “It just depends on which direction you want to go in. You’ve got so many different places you can go to,” Rensimer says. George Bush Intercontinental Airport is 30 miles east, while Houston Methodist West Hospital is 7 miles along Fry Road.

Trails at Richard and Meg Weekly Park

The Richard and Meg Weekley Park, 4 miles north, has sandy pondside trails, playgrounds and pickleball courts. “It just blows my mind the amount of recreational opportunities surrounding us,” says Mario Rabago, Harris County’s director of parks. “We maintain over 14,000 acres of green space. Of that, people use over 7,000 for recreation.” Six miles west, Mason Creek Park’s 11 miles of waterside trails pass by playgrounds and exercise equipment. The neighborhood also has two pools, on West Little York Road and Plantation Forest Drive.
