Balmoral again ranked among the top 50 top-selling master-planned communities in the nation, fueled by a 40 percent increase in home sales.
Our community nabbed the No. 26 spot on the esteemed real estate consulting firm Robert Charles Lesser & Co (RCLCO) list that ranks communities by total sales for the previous year. Last year we ranked at No. 42 — a 16-spot climb! Our builders sold 467 homes in 2019 compared to 334 in 2018.
According to the RCLCO report, top-selling communities differentiated themselves by offering more home choices, sizes and prices. Seventeen builders have chosen to make their homes with us, including Anglia Homes, Ashton Woods Homes, CastleRock Communities, Censeo Homes, Colina Homes, D. R. Horton, Empire Communities, Gehan Homes, Highland Homes, HistoryMaker Homes, Lennar, Taylor Morrison, Trendmaker Homes, Shea Homes, Long Lake Homes, William Lyons Homes and Westin Homes.
Each builder offers a range of floor plans and options so you are sure to discover your dream home. Home designs in Balmoral are priced from the $200s.
Another factor in our popularity is our range of amenities. Centered on our tropical crystal clear lagoon, Balmoral offers a number of ways for families to stay fit and have fun. That includes our gorgeous Amenity Village. The expansive eight-acre complex resembles a vacation resort with an infinity pool, club house, fitness center, hammock row, sand volleyball court and more.
We’re also a Land Tejas community. Our developer is one of the most prolific and innovative creators of master-planned communities in the Greater Houston area. In addition to Balmoral, the Land Tejas community Harmony in Spring placed at No. 24 on the RCLCO list.

Elementary School No. 29 has a name — and it’s a good one. On Nov. 12, Humble ISD trustees announced that the new campus would be known as Centennial Elementary School in honor of the district’s 100th anniversary.
The school will be located in the Atascocita area in the nearby Lakewood Pines neighborhood. Portions of Balmoral will be zoned to Centennial, which is scheduled to open in August 2020. Those students will be able to choose to attend the school they are currently zoned to—either Ridge Creek or Groves elementary schools, respective of home locations—or Centennial Elementary.
The district broke ground on the 116,450-square-foot building last August. Prominent in the school’s design are natural light and areas that allow students to collaborate with each other on projects, lessons and activities. The school will include a secured visitors’ entry and other safety features. The layout is based on pods, which are classrooms located around a central makerspace for each grade level. Design plans also include stacking lanes to keep traffic from backing up on major streets.
A principal has already been chosen. Alison Pierce has many years of experience in education, previously serving in Galena Park ISD and beginning her 13th year as an educator in Humble ISD. She has served as principal of Timbers Elementary School, assistant principal at Jack M. Fields Sr. Elementary School, and Humble ISD Elementary science coordinator. Ms. Pierce earned her bachelor’s degree at McNeese State University and her master’s degree in educational leadership from Stephen F. Austin State University.
We are excited that many young Balmoral residents will have the option of attending the newest school in the highly regarded Humble ISD. You can read more about it here.
