Harvest Green Answers Quick Sales with New NeighborhoodsWith nearly 65 percent of its Phase One homesites already sold, Harvest Green is adding another 262 available properties in three neighborhoods. Open now, the three new neighborhoods feature 50-, 55- and 60-foot homesites. Current builders will continue their existing programs within the new enclaves. Home sales in Harvest Green began less than a year ago. “The response from prospective buyers has been phenomenal,” said Shay Shafie, general manager of Harvest Green. “Builders sold 85 homes within three months of beginning presales last fall, so we knew we’d have to be ready with new homesites soon.” Eleven builders have opened model homes in Harvest Green, offering designs priced from the $240,000s. Builders include D.R. Horton, Darling Homes, David Weekley Homes, Highland Homes, Lennar, Meritage Homes, Newmark Homes, Perry Homes, Plantation Homes, Trendmaker Homes and Westin Homes. Residents enjoy access to two on-site farms — both yielding produce — as well as a range of community events, many of which revolve around food and sustainability. Home owners have the option for backyard gardens and later this year will be able to farm individual plots in the community’s Village Farm. A farm-share program also is in the works, which will allow residents to purchase weekly supplies of fresh produce. Under construction now is The Farmhouse, a recreation center featuring a pool, fitness center, splash pad, event lawn, playground and lakeside amphitheater. Fort Bend Independent School District expects to break ground soon on an elementary school in Harvest Green, which will join Bowie Middle School and Travis High School, both located on-site.
