What’s in Your Backyard?

Backyards come in all shapes and sizes but whatever your backyard looks like, it’s got nothing on ours. Our backyard is a resort with a crystal clear lagoon and spectacular Amenity Village. Even better is our Northeast Beltway location off North Sam Houston Parkway and Woodland Hills Drive and the chance to send your kids to highly-regarded Humble ISD schools

Sales are booming in Balmoral and — according to a recent article in Builder magazine — it’s due in large part to our signature amenity: Texas’s first Crystal Lagoon.

In January, John Burns Real Estate Consulting gave a shout out to Balmoral on its annual list of the top 50 master-planned community for “Most Increased Sales” owing to a 345 percent jump in sales over a partial sales year in 2017.

What changed from 2017 to 2018? The opening of our beautiful centerpiece. Once people see the white sand and azure water, they don’t want to live anywhere else. 

Builder magazine points out that communities like Balmoral with active or upcoming lagoons have experienced rapid sales over the past year, and many have ranked among the top master-planned communities in the country, according to ranking of the top 50 master-planned communities. We took the No. 43 spot.

How much of a game changer is the presence of a crystal lagoon in a community? Read the article to find out.
