Homes in Oakhurst at Kingwood

Oakhurst at Kingwood is one development that I have had my eye on. Developed by Friendswood Development Company, it looks like they are starting on the last phase of the development. Right next to the Community is Porter ( its shocking the amount of Porter residents that don't know about this development and it right in there back yard).

A few of the builders in this community are Lennar, Frontier Custom Builders, Village Builders, Highland Homes, Brickland Homes, Jaeger Homes, Rueby Custom Homes, Coventry Homes, First Texas Homes, Gallery Custom Homes, Legend Homes, Triumph Homes.

Out of all the homes built I am not at all impressed by Lennars selections on homes. You've seen one you have seen them all. Some of there spec floor plans are just so plan and basic. If you have seen 2 are 3 you have seen them all. Not saying that Lennar doesn't have a few home that hit the mark but it more just fell flat. (Oh so plan) 

In one of the new sections of the community they have a gated area of patio homes. So far the featured builders are Lennar and Coventry Home. From the out side these homes are OK. But Coventry Home totally impressed me and my family. The floor plans were unique and elegant. Their attention to detail was remarkable, this is simply a home you don't what to leave. If you like to entertain and wow your friends the Coventry Spec Patio homes will capture everyones attention. ( Check out the link below to see the home, It also an open home).
 

Even thought Frontier seem to be phasing out of the community. (Trying to sell what they have a jumping ship) They have some of the most beautiful spec homes in the community for sale. Price Point: Just a bit to high for what they are offering. 
Why: There are things that a home owner can change, which is not such a big deal when the builder cheaps out on. For example Carpet, light fixtures, ect. First of all the floor plans are wonderful and if you just looking at the out ward appearance of the house you would be ready to buy. But if you pay attention to details behind the walls like the installation you'll see that they used the bare min. requirements. If I am spending over have a million on a home I am going to need more under the hood. 

But other than that there attention to detail on the outer layer of the home is beyond impressive and will cause any jaw to drop. The link below show one of Frontier's featured home in Oakhurst (its also a open home). 



Highland Homes are all around a good quietly of a home from the inside out. Worth the money.
