A conveniently located master-planned community in Sugar Land

Riverpark stands out from other master-planned communities in Sugar Land due to its proximity to highways. Two major Houston arteries intersect near the HOA neighborhood’s entrance, and it is also conveniently located near shopping centers and restaurants. Sugar Land’s population grew by 40% in the 2010s, which coincided with commercial growth. “People really don’t need to leave Sugar Land except to go into Houston for work,” says local broker Jesse Watson of DOSS Pros. “Any and everything that you could possibly think of has been brought here or is coming here.”

Riverpark is situated in close proximity to various freeways, making it easy to travel.

Riverpark’s cost-effective 21st-century brick homes

Riverpark’s new traditional-style brick homes sit on compact lots along wide, shaded sidewalks. These 21st-century residences feature three to six bedrooms, fenced backyards and garages. Homes range in price from $300,000 to $600,000. “Nearby neighborhoods have newer homes and can be more expensive,” says Realtor Tara Flores of Keller Williams Realty Southwest, who has been selling homes in the area for 10 years. Prices in similar neighborhoods, such as New Territory, just north, can exceed $1 million. “If you want a quiet place to stay that’s reasonably affordable, Riverpark is a good place to go,” Watson says. The neighborhood's CAP Index Crime Score is 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4. “Sugar Land is one of the safer places to live,” he says. “Because the police out here, they don’t play. And everybody, for the most part, is okay with it.”

Large two-story brick homes are great for large families in the Riverpark neighborhood.

Getting around on Highway 69

Interstate 69 is just south of the neighborhood and travels into Houston. It also connects with I-10, Highway 90 and the Sam Houston Tollway. “It is a big deal to be located by I-69,” Watson says. “It’s one of the main freeways that gets you in and out of the city.” Highway 99 cuts through the neighborhood, traveling to the northern suburban areas. William P. Hobby Airport is 33 miles east and George Bush Intercontinental Airport is 45 miles away. Memorial Hermann Sugar Land Hospital is just south of Riverpark’s homes.

Sliding into Riverpark’s pool and ziplining at the playground

The pool off Summit Creek Drive, which the HOA maintains through $80 monthly fees, has two curvy slides that splash into waters overlooking one of many lakes scattered throughout the neighborhood. Features of the nearby playground, which is open to the public, include a splash pad and zipline swing. Local dogs can make friends at the Riverpark Bark Park on Wimberly Canyon Drive. The Riverpark Nature Trails, which wind through the heavily wooded area north of the neighborhood along the Brazos River, passes a playground and picnic area. Despite the proximity to the river, flooding is not a significant issue in Riverpark.

Splash Pad at River Park's amenities are a highlight among the residents of the area.

Concerts, comedy and more at Smart Financial Center

The 6,400-seat Smart Financial Center, 7 miles west on I-69, became a popular destination after Jerry Seinfeld performed on opening night in 2017. Since then, a variety of national acts have taken the stage, from Broadway productions to performances by Tom Jones and Larry the Cable Guy. Sugar Land hosts events throughout the year, ranging from food fests to the Cultural Kite Festival in March.
