This neighborhood is family friendly with built-in amenities like a seasonal community pool(summer only), outdoor sports courts, sand volleyball, 2 play areas/parks for kids, walking tracks, and a duck pond in walking distance. Our open floor plan, single level, 3 bd/2 bth home features a huge, fenced backyard with two patios. We are also pet friendly!
Front and back yard garden swings are a nice way to enjoy some beautiful Texas weather. The large driveway can accommodate up to four vehicles and there is additional street parking. We hope you’ll find our home as welcoming and comfortable as we do.

Community Amenities:
Any community amenities, including the pool, are accessed by the keycard located in the wooden bowl by the front door.
If you take advantage of any of the community amenities, including the pool or courts, please follow all posted signs and rules regarding their use.
VERY IMPORTANT!!!! PLEASE NOTE:
The community pool is only open during the summer months and is closed for cleaning 1 day per week.
Summer only: we have a temporary AC unit installed in the breakfast nook, by the back door. This is in addition to the central HVAC. Our summers are so hot that if you try to cool the entire house below 74 degrees, using only the central unit, it will continuously struggle to keep up. We prefer to be kept cool, and we want our guests comfortable, hence the extra help of the temporary AC.
Not a rule, but a request:
When it’s warmer outside, we ask that our guests leave the ceiling fans on at least the low setting at all times. The reason for this is simple: It’s hot and humid here. The fans keep the air moving which assists the HVAC in the dehumidifying and cooling process. Keeping our fans running helps us to use less power overall and aids in the prevention of mold and odors inside our home. We also use air purifiers to help keep indoor allergens to a minimum.
PET & SERVICE ANIMAL REQUIREMENTS:
All animals must be vaccinated, potty trained and/or contained, and medicated/treated for pests such as fleas, ticks, and any other parasites. Animals must not cause any damage to the property. Animals are NOT allowed on the furniture. (The living room ottomans can be placed upside down on the sofas, if needed, to prevent your animal jumping up) If your animal normally gets in bed or on the couch with you, that is NOT ALLOWED here! We absolutely DO NOT allow animals on the furniture AT ALL. If your animal must be crated to keep them off the furniture and out of the beds, then you are REQUIRED to use a crate.
Other animal rules & notes about animal accommodations:
We hope you will make use of the animal door large enough to accommodate an extra-large dog.
Our community has a leash law. Please respect it.
We are not responsible for the health or safety of your animal(s) at any time, or under any circumstances.
Any animal waste must be removed from our yards.
Basic food & water bowls in the pantry.
Animal waste baggies have been provided for your convenience.
Operating the miniblinds is pretty easy. They’re magnetic. Just grab the bottom and raise them slowly. Please leave the blinds raised if you think your animal may damage them by trying to move them, bite them, or climb them! The same goes for the drapes. They can be pulled up over the curtain rod in the event that your animal can’t/won’t leave them alone.
