We are developing homes in Houston's Fifth Ward between Waco Street on the west and Lockwood Drive on the east, Lyons Ave. on the south and Lee Street on the north. Visit the website, www.5thwardhomes.com to see available lots.
The strategy for these homes was to create affordable houses without compromising on quality and consistent with the open floor plan for which we are known. These two and three-bedroom, 2 1/2 bath homes are available in four floor plans, (Brazos, Sabine, San Jacinto, and Trinity) depending on the lot location and site plan. The air-conditioned area ranges from 1450–1650 SF, not including the 2-car garage.
Interior finishes include hardwood floors, granite countertops, tiled baths, and custom maple cabinetry. The Fifth Ward retains considerable cultural and historical relevance, and many of its once famous sites are being restored. During the 1990s, community organizations provided the first steps for the renewal that is still going on today. We are playing a part by building new homes in the area that incorporated feedback from the community in meetings that we organized.
